Hello to you!!
My name is Michelle and I am from Emerald
Cove and
I am SO very excited to be a guest of Heathers today!!
I adore Heather and her blog, she is always so darn creative and so positive
and teaches us to look at the bright side of things even when we feel like
running away.


I was first drawn to Simple Daisy because Heather lives in the Midwest and
LOVES the beach and Lake Michigan as much as I do!


We do not live too far from each other and I had the pleasure of meeting her
last month at a local flea market and we have plans to meet up again at the
end of this month!


I wanted to share with you some of the things that I love about living by
Lake Michigan and even though I dream of living one day on the East Coast
around Cape Cod or even Nantucket,

there are so many amazing things about Michigan.

I love how Lake Michigan is so open and seems endless like the ocean.
The amazing sand dunes to climb and explore.

The gorgeous sunsets that paint our skies every night.

The fresh water lakes that are scattered all over that fill our summer days
with sunshine and children's laughter.

Sandy shorelines and sparkling water.




Like Heather, I also love to craft with the beautiful treasures that the
lake gives us.
I LOVE DRIFTWOOD!!
ALOT!!!


I started this driftwood shark for my sons room

Lot's-o-driftwood!!


I also love creating things that remind me of my favorite places.
This is a local newspaper of my most favorite place on earth,
Glen Lake.

I used it along with some empty clam shells from Glen Lake to make this

I also made the little driftwood candle holder from the driftwood that I
found this summer while we were there.


And of course I love to surround myself with images and memories.

This is my grandma and her sister at Glen Lake so long ago.
We still go to this very spot.






My very favorite photo of my daughter on Glen Lake as well as gifts from
dear friends.

Everything about these photos makes me smile and to surround myself with the
things that are near and dear to my heart is what makes my home.


Michigan is so beautiful with the changing seasons, so much to see and
explore,
(although ask me what I feel about it come February)
and even with the snow and winters, it is definitely worth going through to
get to the summer and fall.


Thank you so much Heather for me letting share the things that I love, I
hope you all enjoyed.
