Journal • Art • Bake

For many years I had a beautiful little shop in a lovely community by Lake Michigan. My friend and I hand painted murals on the walls and created an intricate border of pennies next to the ceiling. The shelves were filled with treasures and handmade art adorned the walls. Every day I served coffee and cake samples to our “guests”. After decades in business, I decided to retire. Little did I realize how much I would miss interacting with all the lovely people that came into my shop every day.

My hope is that this site is a way for us to connect. Although I can’t serve you coffee and cake, I will try to make you feel as though you were a special guest in my home. We can chat, inspire each other and brighten our days together.

Everyday is a day to have a great day, make something beautiful and eat cake.
