We’re almost there! Meet Sean!

You probably know him around town as ‘the guy with the funky bandannas’ as that’s his staple fashion accessory. Sean and Michelle bought Lake Effects in 2021, and although you don’t see his face in the store much, he takes care of a lot of the behind the scenes business. Make sure to say hi if you ever run into him!
Here are some other fun questions we asked Sean to get to know him better!

1. When you’re not at the store, what are you typically doing? (Hobby? Just relaxing?)
“Meditating and helping turtles cross the road.”

2. If you were a fruit or vegetable, what one would you be and why?
“A wild strawberry because it always makes someone very excited when they find a wild strawberry.”

3. What is your favourite CR plastics item in the store?
“The Adirondack glider.”

4. Settle this debate; is cereal considered a soup or a salad?
“Cereal is a soup because there is both hot cereal and cold cereal just like soup.”

We’re continuing our Meet the Team series with our newest member; meet Lauren!

Lauren used to work in the casino industry and lived near Lindsay Ontario, but once she and her partner, Dean, received the offer to make Lake Effects a second-generation family business, she was in Westport within the next few months! Still new to Westport, Lauren is excited to get involved in the community and business!
Here are some fun questioned we asked Lauren to get to know her a little better!

1. When you’re not at the store, what are you typically doing? (Hobby? Just relaxing?)
“Listening to or creating music, cuddling with my cats (Puma and Tilly), reading, or playing various games!”

2. If you were a colour, what colour would you be and why?
“Probably the colour Blue. Specifically like…a royal blue. There’s something so classic and elegant about that kind of blue.”

3. What is your favourite CR plastics item in the store?
“The Porch Rocker. It reminds me of the rocker my grandparents used to have.”

4. Settle this debate; should raisins be in oatmeal cookies?
“Absolutely, but I can always appreciate a plain oatmeal cookie. I just like cookies a lot in general!”

P.S. she’s also in charge of our socials now 😎

From CR Plastics, the Addy Side Table and Small Rectangle Table are the perfect option for a small, compact table that fits the aesthetic of the casual seating line. Available in multiple colours, find the one that matches your chair.
Also from CR plastics, the Heritage Bench and 6” Harvest Bench are perfect seating options if you want a little something different, or want to cover a bit more space on the patio.

We’re on two out of four in our Meet The Team mini series!

Dean is the youngest son to Michelle. After graduating from college, he and his partner have officially moved into Westport proper, and have both joined the Lake Effects team making it truly a family affair. You’ll most likely find Dean building or completing deliveries, but he also works in the store from time to time.
Here are some fun questioned we asked Dean to get to know him a little better!

1. When you’re not at the store, what are you typically doing? (Hobby? Just relaxing?)
“Playing with my cats, on my computer playing games, and working on finding my ‘creative spark’. I like to bike a lot too.”

2. If you were an animal, what animal would you be and why?
“A parrot. I want to fly and their diet is not carnivorous; I’d rather eat berries all day.”

3. What is your favourite CR plastics item in the store?
“The Tofino end table, because it can match with a lot more than just the Tofino line….plus it’s easy to build.”

4. Settle this debate; is water wet?
“No because it’s a description. Water itself can’t be wet.”

It’s time for our first post for our mini series; Meet The Team!

Michelle bought Lake Effects in 2021 from Ken Rose, the previous owner. She and her husband Sean moved to Westport from Massachusetts with their two sons (one of who also works at the store!) and have never looked back! She’s been at the store everyday since and is one of the most recognized faces in town due to her charm, kindness and humour.
Here’s a little interview with Michelle, with some fun questions to get to know her a little more!

1. When you’re not at the store, what are you typically doing? (Hobby? Just relaxing?)
“Playing with my dogs, beading and woodworking!”

2. If you were a season, which one would you be and why?
“Autumn- I have always felt most myself in the rest period following frenzy.”

3. What is your favourite CR plastics item in the store?
“The Glider!!!!”

4. Settle this debate; is vanilla superior to chocolate?
“Team Vanilla all the way!”
