Charlevoix is a charming town that truly has something for everyone. It makes such a great summer vacation destination for the whole family so head over the to blog to see all the reasons!

The blog post covers all the fun things we’ve done over our past two trips with kids. But as most vacations go, there’s never enough time to see & do it all, so here’s what we missed and are saving for next time:

• Lavender Hill Farm — lhfarmmi
• Castle Farms — castlefarms
• tour the Mushroom Houses
• bike the Little Traverse Wheelway
• take the ferry and explore Beaver Island

Thanks for partnering with us, visit_charlevoix - we cannot wait to plan our next visit!

Just added to my website!

Michigan Sunset Rings are just that, a sunset in a ring. The very best of my small pebble selection hand plucked straight from Lake Michigan and Lake Superior with vibrant blue hues of Leland Blue Stone and green speckled Michigan Greenstone. Each set in a 14K yellow gold bezel that hugs the stone with the warmth of the sun setting on your favorite beach; paired with a sterling silver band that makes the stones and bezels pop.

Naturally one of a kind. Made with recycled Sterling Silver and solid 14K Yellow Gold. ...

Forever wishing I could bottle up the small town Northern Michigan charm and bring it back home with me 🌸bloomfloraldesign

Happy Saturday! May your weekend be filled with copious amounts of flowers...or anything that you love as much as I love flowers 😉 Were back from our trip to northern Michigan and had so much fun stopping into my friend bloomfloraldesign shop in Charlevoix on our way home. This town is a little slice of heaven— it reminds me of a hallmark movie 🌸

Have you been tracking the color change in Michigan? 🍁🍂 It’s predicted that petoskeyarea and visit_charlevoix areas will be peaking October 3-10 😍

📍If you’re planning a trip up north, be sure to stop at Deadman’s Hill in Elmira for amazing views overlooking the Jordan River Valley as well as a 3 mile loop trail. This was on October 11 last year 💛

Give me a color status update where you live in the comments👇🏻

I’m a real fan of the playfulness in Charlevoix Stone (favosite) fossils, the patterns flow over the stones much like the waves of Lake Michigan that tumbles them smooth. This stunning stone is set in a sleek and sturdy setting, and is available on my website.

Handmade in my Northern Michigan studio in recycled precious metals, naturally one of a kind. ...

These fresh new glass pieces came out of the kiln this morning! I’ll be making new earrings, necklaces, and hopefully rings for Charlevoix Waterfront Art Fair next weekend (August 14). #charlevoixmichigan #charlevoixwaterfrontartfair #glassjewelry #colorfuljewelry #handmadejewelry #kpglassjewelry #modernjewelry #studiojewelry #etsymetalteam ...

And just like that...our gates are back open and we are ready to welcome back our guests!

What’s your favorite spot on the Castle’s grounds? For us, it’s hard to pick a favorite. However, the view from the Serenity Garden sure is beautiful!

Giving a shout out to my 500th follower erichlw1 😀 I’ve joined the quincentenary club! I admit I had to look that word up! 🤣 One of those little milestones being new to Instagram, less than a year now.
It’s been a fun experience and I appreciate my followers, their kind and interesting comments, and of course those he have chosen to collect work. It’s been enjoyable and inspiring to have a venue of sorts to immediately share my work with the public as it’s created and not necessarily have to wait for a show,event or gallery opening. It’s also given me the opportunity to show my commission work which for obvious reasons is only seen by a select few.
I’ve also enjoyed staying in touch with and seeing the current work of artists friends I sometimes might not see for months or a year. Hi to them 👋
Thank you to all the new people I’ve connected with and the folks that have followed my career for years and I promise to keep thinking up new ideas!🖼🎨 Chandler’s 30x40”.

Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall 🍂 -F. Scott Fitzgerald

Still in awe of the magic from this past weekend in visit_charlevoix. If only every day could be spent bundled up in a cozy sweater, iced coffee in hand, with that freshly fallen leaf crunch beneath your feet 🍁🥾

What does your perfect fall day look like?
