Oh my Dragonfly

New on the skincare shelf! 🌼
My lotion stick family is all together at last — Comfrey, Calendula, and Dandelion, poured fresh, labeled, and standing in a row at the stand. Solid lotion in a twist-up tube, made with herb-infused sweet almond oil, shea butter, and beeswax. No added fragrance — just simple and good. $6 each, here in Highland.

Tonight's dragonfly tale ✨
Fun fact that tickles me every time: a dragonfly has six legs, but it can't walk a single step! 💙 Those spiny legs aren't made for strolling — they fold into a little basket to scoop dinner right out of the air, and the rest of the time they're just for perching and resting. So when one settles on a stem by the stand here in Highland on a quiet November day, it's not being lazy — it's doing exactly what it was made to do: pause, soak up the light, and wait for the next adventure on the wing.

Tonight's dragonfly tale ✨
In Japan, during Obon — the festival that honors ancestors — dragonflies are said to carry the souls of loved ones on their backs, bringing them home for a visit. On a night like tonight, when the veil feels thin and the ones we miss feel closer, I find that the sweetest thought. 💙 So if a late red dragonfly stops by the stand here in Highland this evening, I'll leave her a quiet welcome — she might just be somebody's whole heart, coming home.

Tonight's dragonfly tale ✨
This evening a little autumn meadowhawk — one of the last dragonflies of the season — landed on the crochet pumpkins by the stand and would not budge. I swear she thought she was in costume, all dressed in russet red for Halloween eve. 💙 I told her she could stay on as our tiniest greeter, and she flicked her wings like that was exactly the plan. So if you stop by in Highland and feel extra welcome tonight, now you know who to thank.

Tonight's dragonfly tale ✨

Two nights before Halloween, the sun clocks out early,
and a dragonfly lingers in the last of the light —
wings catching amber like tiny stained glass,
while the pumpkins keep watch and the shadows turn kind.
She isn't in a hurry, and darling, neither am I —
some evenings are just meant for glowing awhile. 💙

Tonight's dragonfly tale ✨
Did you know the common green darners passing over Michigan right now are on a real fall migration? 💙 These big green-and-blue beauties fly south toward the Gulf and Mexico — averaging about 370 miles, some traveling more than 1,500 — and it takes three generations to complete the whole round trip each year. No map, no directions handed down, just cold fronts and instinct carrying them onward. If one zips past the stand here in Highland, wish her safe travels — she's headed somewhere she's never seen, and somehow she knows the way.

Three sleeps to Halloween, and my spider suncatchers are spinning their sparkly webs all over the hut 🕷️✨ Did you know the old Christmas Spider legend says kind spiders once decorated a poor family's bare tree — and by morning their webs had turned to gold and silver? That's where tinsel comes from! So these little ladies aren't just Halloween… they're the first hint of Christmas magic. Come meet them at the stand in Highland, MI — open daily 9am–10pm, cash, Cash App, and PayPal.

Tonight's dragonfly tale ✨

In old Celtic lore, dragonflies belonged to the fairy realm — some even called them the fairies' horses, swift little messengers who could slip between our world and the unseen one. This time of year, with Halloween close and the veil said to grow thin, I like that thought best. If one dips low over the water tonight, maybe she's just carrying a kind wish from one world to the next. I'll keep a light on at the stand here in Highland, just in case she needs a place to land. 💙
