Door County Lighthouse Paper Hats

.

These hats are my ode to America’s historic seaside communities, maritime heritage, celebrating 250 years of Americas beloved water towns. They bring back the nostalgic Dennison paper party hats that delighted generations past. Each design begins with my original artwork and celebrates the lighthouses, beaches, gardens, harbors, sailing traditions, and coastal landmarks that make these places so special.

The Door County Collection

A Tribute to Wisconsin’s Maritime Peninsula

Surrounded by the waters of Green Bay and Lake Michigan, Door County has been a treasured destination for generations. Its rugged limestone shores, picturesque harbors, historic lighthouses, and charming waterfront villages reflect a rich maritime heritage shaped by fishermen, shipbuilders, orchard keepers, and sailors navigating the Great Lakes. From the peninsula’s famous cherry orchards and quiet forests to its rocky bluffs and crystal-clear waters, Door County offers a timeless landscape where nature and history meet.

The  Collection celebrates Door County through handcrafted paper hats inspired by its iconic lighthouses, welcoming harbors, sailing traditions, and scenic shoreline. Each design is thoughtfully created as an artistic keepsake—an ode to one of America’s most beloved Great Lakes destinations, where enduring craftsmanship, maritime history, and the peaceful beauty of the northern coast continue to inspire.
