Books, jewelry, and a lighthouse on Lake Superior.

Portage River is the name for everything I make from one stretch of Lake Superior shore. My husband Chris and I are restoring the Portage River Lighthouse in Jacobsville, Michigan. From there I write and publish books, and I make jewelry from the stones and beach glass I find along the water. Each one has its own home below.
