Camp towels have arrived! Our bestsellers - Michigan Fish and Petoksey are back in stock. And we went wild and created SEVEN new options for you. Yes. SEVEN.

I didn’t know when we created this product years ago how much of a following they would get. They have been picking up speed and flying outta out stores faster and faster every year. I am so excited to see what the fan favorite will be on this latest drop. And yeah, swimming season might be over for a lot of our customers, but who doesn’t love to be prepared for next summer?

Thanks for always being a fan. 💙

Spent the last 10 days in Washington resetting my nervous system by scrambling up sides of mountains for the views. Every single day enjoying our public lands. Coming home feeling excited to get back to work and come up with some more ways to support and protect our public lands through this lil business. 🤙💙🏔️

This past month my body forced me to slow down after a very busy summer season. My camera roll went from work mode to local’s summer mode real quick. I am still getting my health back on track but the things I have been able to do have filled my cup the last few weeks even with feeling less than ideal. Sunset swims. Cuddling with my dogs. Backyard hangs. Good books. Great seasonal food.   This time of year is my favorite. I wait all year for these few weeks where things calm down for the busy season but the farm stands are overflowing with goodness, the water is perfect for swimming and the nights cool off making it perfect sleeping weather.

And I’ve found time to do some creative work. 💙 Been playing a lot on my ipad doodling and working on the next National Park release. 🏔️🌳

Blankets are back. Back again. Blankets are back. We are telling our friends (you. We are telling you).

But for real, we restocked our blankets. In our stores. On our website.   And hot tip: we won’t restock again before Christmas. So grab one now if it was already requested because by the time Black Friday rolls around, we might be out again the way this year has been going… 🫠💙✌️

Wild Lettie wouldn’t be here if I didn’t have the love and support from a lot of people. But this guy is the number one reason. He gave me the confidence to do something for myself and still to this day continues to show up for me and this business in a way that keeps it all going. All the love and friendship cards? They were inspired by him.

I love you, Matt. Still my favorite human. Still stoked on us. Even after 10 years of marriage. Excited to keep exploring the world with you. The dogs too. 💙

September is here. And it always feels so bittersweet.

We still have plenty of busy days ahead through the end of the year. But Meghan and I are already brainstorming how to manage next summer. Because we fell behind on inventory and as much hard work we put it, we never got ahead of it. In the grand scheme of things, selling out of product constantly is a dream for a small business but it also wrecked my nervous system feeling like we were always scrambling. Small business owners are always juggling a million things at once but I felt the whack-a-mole game I have been playing for years malfunctioned and kicked it into high speed.

The past couple weeks I also had to randomly shut down the shops to let my body rest after experiencing a flare up of my blood disorder after being in remission for years. (I blame the whack-a-mole). I’ve had a few days where I have gotten dressed and into the car to go to work, almost made it and had to make the call to turn around last minute to go home and rest. Words cannot express how frustrated and sad it makes me. But I’m feeling like I’m on the mend and we have a full team for shop coverage moving forward into Fall.

This is not me complaining. I am so thankful for our amazing customers and this summer. It has been the best ever for Wild Lettie. Hands down. I think this is more of an explanation of what we experienced this summer and how I plan on doing better in the future. Because I really hope we keep growing. Thank you for sticking around. Thank you for being stoked on what we do. Thank you for being so darn awesome.

Love you.   *this little digital drawing is one of the lil prints I did in our mini art machine for our late summer round in Suttons Bay. Having this quick, easy, low stakes creative project has been an absolute joy to do with my girl Meghan Kelly 💙

Did the sensible thing and turned some of your favorite new stickers into new hats. And they are so good we are running them ‘em so fast.   Meghan was selling them outta a box in Fishtown before they even were tagged and on the floor.

Besides the new designs, we restocked favorites from last year too. Get ‘em while you can. 💙

It’s an official dog holiday today (shouldn’t everyday be though??). And just like every other dog parent in the world, it would take a whole lot more words than an instagram caption allows to adequately express the amount of love and happiness these weird creatures bring to my life.

Hank and Everest. The boys. They take up a big part in the center of my universe. Our entire line of dog items I designed for Wild Lettie? You can thank these two knuckleheads for it all. And the feedback since we launched it all has been an overwhelming amount of comments on the sturdiness and quality. Well, that’s on Hank because the boy LOVES to play tug of war with his leashes and I wasn’t gunna make a leash that couldn’t withstand his chaos.

Give your dogs a big hug from me. Hank and Everest too. 💙

HELLOOOOOOO local’s summer. We’ve been waiting for you.

It’s that special time in Northern Michigan. Where things are slowing down. Traffic is clearing up. The farm stands are popping off. And the water is perfection. It’s what we call local’s summer. Our time to shine.

I plan on making the most of it. Peaches every day. BLT’s as much as I can. Treating myself to bouquets of local flowers. Dips after work. Backyard hangs. Soaking it all in after the busiest summer.

And for those eyeing this towel - yes, they have officially shipped and we are hoping to have them in hand in September which includes a restock of the fish and petoskey designs plus 6 new towels! 🤙
