Come check out our September Artist of the Month, Jesse Brunette!
You might recognize her work from some of our gift shop items, including greeting cards and playing cards, but now you can see a much wider variety of her work, and take home a print or even an original!
Jesse’s creative, colorful pieces are made from collaged scraps of paper, creating tranquil sunrises and vibrant scenes inspired by Sheboygan.

🦈 Shark Week + Sheboygan Fun Fact!

Sharks in Lake Michigan? Not exactly… but Wisconsin has had one famous shark tale!

In 1969, Milwaukee fishermen discovered what looked like a small shark floating in the lake. The mystery didn’t last long; it turned out to be a frozen shark caught in Florida, placed there as a prank by a local tavern owner and his friends. The idea started as a joke and “grew and grew” as the drinks kept coming. 🍻

So while you won’t need to worry about sharks while enjoying Lake Michigan, you can take home a shark souvenir!

🦈 Stop in during Shark Week and check out our salt-free, shark-free, worry-free shark souvenirs and gifts!
