Joy of the Lakeshore – 2026 Desk Calendar
Bring a little calm and beauty into every day with the Joy of the Lakeshore 2026 Desk Calendar. I created this planner using photographs from my daily walks along Lake Michigan—images that capture the shifting moods and rhythms of each month. Each page includes an original haiku and one of my ceramic pieces thoughtfully paired with the imagery.
Inside, you’ll also find annual calendars for both 2026 and 2027, along with a full page dedicated to noting those important recurring dates you want to remember.
Use this calendar to slow your day down, plan ahead, jot down reminders, or simply enjoy a moment of lakeshore peace. I hope it brings a smile each time you turn the page.
What makes “Joy of the Lakeshore” special?
- Captivating Lake Michigan Photography: Each month features a beautiful image captured during my walks along the Lake Michigan beaches with my faithful companion, Leo. These photos showcase the ever-changing beauty of our Great Lake throughout the seasons.
- Monthly Haikus: Embrace the essence of each month with a specially crafted haiku, reflecting the mood and beauty of the changing seasons by the lakeshore.
- Ceramic Art Showcase: As a clay artist inspired by the beach and waterfront, I’ve included images of my ceramic pieces alongside each haiku, bringing a tactile dimension to the calendar’s visual journey.
- Practical Design: The calendar includes ample space for notes each month, allowing you to jot down important reminders or reflections. There’s also a dedicated page for annual dates and reminders to keep you organized throughout the year.
- Perfect Desk Companion: With its thoughtful design and inspirational content, “Joy of the Lakeshore” will bring a touch of Lake Michigan’s serenity to your workspace all year round.
