About Us

About us? It’s a long story, but I’ll give it a try.

My name is Peggy, and I like to make things. Since I was a child, I enjoyed creating, crafting and sharing with others. My first business partner was my mother, who was an incredible teacher. She shared her creativity and patience with me at a very early age. As a girl, I made crepe paper flowers, papier mache earrings and hand-painted barrettes.

As an adult, I still managed to be creative with a houseful of chaotic children and preteens. I designed, sewed and sold knit dresses. I spent countless hours on Halloween costumes and prom dresses. I made so many throw pillows you could barely sit on the couch.

After my children grew up and started their own lives and families, I found I still had the creative drive to make new things. I started wondering about larger-scale projects beyond my sewing room, so I started to research manufacturing and dream up large-scale projects.

That’s when I created a clothing line dedicated to life at the lake. We made tee shirts, sweatshirts and caps to celebrate the fun, community and nostalgia of going to the lake. My daughter, sisters, and friends were my sales team, and boy could they sell! The brand warmed many hearts, garnered many fans and eventually outgrew our family-run operation. It was one of the most gratifying and exciting times of my life. In 2018, I sold the company to our friends at Lakeshirts, and you can still find those products across the United States.

Back at my sewing table, I thought about what I wanted to do next. Ultimately, I need to continue what I do best: creating and selling.

With my love of lake life at the center of everything I do, my goal is to create high quality garments with great designs while providing spectacular customer service.  The team is back together, and we are ready to go. I am so excited to share my new brand LAKE HAPPY with you.  I hope you like it.
