If you've ever lived in Michigan, you've probably heard of or maybe even found Petoskey stones. And if not, consider me honored to introduce you to them.

Petoskey stones are pieces of extinct, fossilized coral from 300+ million years ago, back when this part of the world was covered by a warm, inland sea. Each dark spot represents an individual animal (its "mouth," specifically)! You can find Petoskey stones mostly around the city of Petoskey, Michigan, in the northwest corner of the lower peninsula, although they're also found elsewhere.

These fossils helped get me into geology/Michigan science, and I made a YouTube video about them a while back if you want to learn more. But the current news is: Petoskey stone stickers are now a thing that exist in the world, and I love them. ☺️

They're dishwasher safe, waterproof, come with free shipping — and you can find them in my Etsy shop! Link in bio, or Etsy.com/shop/AlexisJDahl.

Hi from my home office! Twinkly lights and colorful keyboards definitely help lift my spirits in these times of isolation. I also look out my window at a snow covered forest. It’s pretty peaceful. Many of you know me as a photographer, but I mostly do graphic design from home. I’ve been a designer for most of my adult life. I’ve worn many creative hats. I was a motion graphics artist, an art director and a web designer. Who else is working from home these days? #workingfromhome #aframegirl ...

The tourists have officially arrived.

Sent out this piece yesterday. It was purchased for a lobby in the new wing of McLaren Hospital in Petoskey! That being said, I hope no one has to see it in person. 🏥🌳

A weekend up north at the cottage is just what the soul needs! 🏡 Robert’s parents Jamie and Carol came up to Cross Village to visit and stayed in this sweet little A-frame. Sunsets on the lake, a trip into town, grilled walleye and some cool beverages on the back porch...You can’t get much more Michigan than that!

If you make your way up to the Tunnel of Trees or Harbor Springs, be sure to stop in and see us at our Cross Village shop! Downstate folks can drop in the shop in Berkley. And of course you can bring the up north nostalgia directly to your living room at www.shoppeninsulas.com
