A truly sublime little getaway, brought to you by @apshoplakeside . 🥰⁠ ⁠ We’ve waited SO long to share Shamrock House. Long because its designers—Ariane + Archer Prewitt—are exacting and patient. Long because its reason for being is far more creative than commercial. And long because delight takes time to reveal itself when remodeling a 100-year old home.⁠ ⁠ Furnished with a skillful edit of pieces sourced locally from @sojourn.sawyer , @alchemy_art_and_antiques , @stockholm.objects , @flbfineart , @judithracht.gallery , and @elizabethcoyne_studio —as well as AP collections—Shamrock House is an eloquent expression of the community’s creative culture. Even the kitchen, transformed by master carpenter Dennis Snow, nods to craft and collaboration.⁠ ⁠ The cottage is minutes on foot to shops, cafes, and restaurants and a very walkable mile to the beach. Its petite, two-bedroom, one-bathroom footprint nearly doubles with a peaceful, private open-air living area featuring all the lake getaway requisites: Adirondacks, firepit, hammock, outdoor shower, cedar-clad Nordic spa, and the best looking picnic table we’ve ever seen. Countless other thoughtful touches—fresh flowers and locally sourced provisions, to name a few—mark this subtly branded form of hospitality.⁠ ⁠ Explore Shamrock House on the journal, linked in bio.⁠ ⁠ #newbuffaloexplored #stay⁠ ⁠ 📷 @jodibodtkecreative

How about a pretty spring playlist for your holiday weekend? Erik's latest has all the emergent lakeshore vibes. 🎧🌺😎⁠ ⁠ ‘It’s been a particularly lovely and all-encompassing spring so far in Michigan, complete with early warmth, lingering cold, storms, and sun. This newest mix is no different, ranging inward and bare to lush and maximal, and half made up of songs released this very season. Hope you’ll sink in and enjoy!’ -@intallbuildings ⁠ ⁠ Find the mix on @spotify linked in bio!⁠ ⁠ #newbuffaloexplored #music⁠ ⁠ 📷 @benjaminrsass

Just gonna let my forest-bather flag fly on this one. 🌳⁠ ⁠ Warren Woods is easy to overlook. A state park for almost 100 years, it’s demure—minimal signage, mossy bridge, a few patina’d benches, and trails that often leave you wondering ‘am I still on it?’ But this rare climax forest is a wonder, especially right now.⁠ ⁠ Over the next few weeks, an ephemeral carpet of wildflowers will emerge on the forest floor. The canopy of towering beach maples will be new, spare, so light and shadow can easily cast about on the river. It’ll be wet and muddy in some places, raising the stakes as you make passage across fallen tree trunks. Forget hike. You’re having a good ole romp in the woods.⁠ ⁠ I passed a very old man last week. Slow, with a cane, stooped to the point his face wasn’t visible. As I marveled at his ability to make it to the spot we shared, he paused and said hello. I swear I could hear the twinkle in his eyes. This guy wasn’t struggling. He was having the exact same kid-on-the-inside adventure I was.⁠ ⁠ Hope you can find time to have it too. Soon, with the flowers and the light and the mud. 🌼⁠ ⁠ Find maps and facts on the journal, linked in bio.⁠ ⁠ #newbuffaloexplored #play⁠ ⁠ 📷 @jodibodtkecreative

This fella — @seedzbrewery founder Ryan Ziarko — is having a big year. Fresh off his Best New Brewery in the United States honor from @usatoday , Ryan sat down to chat local agriculture, the beauty of slow pour, and his hometown go-tos for drinks, food, and fun. All your questions about Seedz signature foamy pours answered here. Read the interview on the journal, linked in bio. 🍻 #newbuffaloexplored #drink 📷  @jaclynsimpson 🎥  @benjaminrsass

Nine shops for a design-minded day trip—or, if we put the flourish down, our favorite vintage + antique shops along the Lake Michigan shore. We feature nine here because each speaks to a singular aesthetic and is entirely destination-worthy. (As evidenced by @roman_and_williams_ and @michael_del_piero_ , among many other interior design notables.)⁠ ⁠ As you browse, know there’s even more to explore between our call-outs. We’re a community rich in one-of-a-kind finds, and you never know where you’ll score your next.⁠ ⁠ Find the guide linked in bio—listed in an easy loop that begins ten minutes from downtown New Buffalo, complete with a handy interactive map.⁠ ⁠ Happy hunting! 🤓⁠ ⁠ #newbuffaloexplored #shop⁠ ⁠ 📷 @jodibodtkecreative @jaclynsimpson @jaymiey

We love a visionary. Anyone who decisively steps away from what’s expected and leads with imagination. In fact, that’s kind of how the journal got started—a desire to celebrate visionaries big and small, on and off the radar. We’re still amazed at how many find their way to the Lake Michigan shore. Hope you’re inspired, entertained, or moved in some positive way, too.⁠ ⁠ Pictured here is @susanssawyer . As the (former) Flynn Theater dinner and brunch spot begins its fourth season, Cecilia Peterson and chef Michael Kinasz’s vision remains firmly intact. One of casual meals with an unapologetic fondness for fine dining. Beachy, mid-century design grounded in an old architectural gem of a building. And a minimalist’s passion for detail—be it on the plate, in the glass, or throughout the space.⁠ ⁠ Susan’s opens Mar 29. We can’t wait to see what’s cooking! 😋⁠ ⁠ Explore more on the journal, linked in bio.⁠ ⁠ #newbufaloexplored #eat⁠ ⁠ 📷 @jodibodtkecreative

This jewel box of a shop is @stockholm.objects . Curating Scandi-inspired homewares, furniture, and clothes designed to bring style to and enhance everyday living, you can't help but be reminded of @mariekondo_ !!re!!_039;s 'Does it spark joy?' standard. From a simple, sleek glass carafe to a clever reusable lunch bag, the answer is yes, over and over.⁠ ⁠ Modern and minimal, owners Annette + Reinhard Brinkmeier source lines throughout Europe and the US, resulting in a collection sure to reveal your new favorite something — lantern, sweater, throw, maybe even chair. Everyday items made more beautiful and useful through the Scandinavian lens of simple pleasure, innovation, and craft.⁠ ⁠ If you can, linger for #fika — Swedish for 'coffee and cake break.' True to the tradition's intent, Annette, Reinhard, and their staff are warm hosts and a super fun chat. (Not to mention talented bakers and baristas.) Seated at the little coffee bar midway through the space, Stockholm Objects is as much a social hub as it is a shop. A welcoming crossroads of style and culture. 🇸🇪⁠ ⁠ Explore more on the journal, linked in bio!⁠ ⁠ #newbuffaloexplored #shop⁠ ⁠ 📷 @moguelphoto

A visual hymn to things we love about the chilly season, Issue 11 welcomes more contributors than ever before and we think that’s a very good thing. 🙂 Hope it inspires a smile, an experience, retreat in any form, or a super comforting meal.⁠ ⁠ Out of town?

Promise this isn’t a cruel attempt to make you wistful for greener days. New on the journal, @solhausretreat is as compelling in winter as it is in summer. Flooded with natural light, surrounded by nature, fireplaces in and out, and a hot tub + sauna situation giving undeniable après-ski vibes, this is real-deal hygge sure to soften the crisp edges of winter.⁠ ⁠ We shot it in September, but even then got excited about a cold weather stay.

Quick check-in after BlackCyberGiving week… how are we feeling? Festive?⁠ ⁠ Because holiday shopping should be fun. Like REALLY fun! Great people, cool chats, coffee and treats, and maybe a drink if we show up close to closing time. You know, connection along with consumerism. So we, along with our remarkably talented community of shopkeepers, decided to make that experience easy.⁠ ⁠ The Holiday Shopping Guide explores sixteen unique indie shops curated for character, style, and point of view. Delightful to browse and sure to deliver memorable gifts. All presented in a handy loop that begins in downtown New Buffalo, hours and nifty interactive map included.⁠ ⁠ Hope you enjoy!
