One misty morning at our booth, while setting up signs and jars of truth, a tiny fiend with a yarn stitched grin, just appeared and said, "I'm moving in!"
He perched atop the lavender, declared himself the manager, and since that day he's made it clear, he's sticking with us through the year(at least).
He pops up at each market stall- spring, summer, winter and fall. We'll turn around and there he'll be, feet dangling where they shouldn't be. At Pridefest, markets, and shows, he tells us where each product goes. "Put soaps up front! Move candles there! And don't forget to brush your hair!"
He rides along in totes and crates, insists on choosing market dates. And when we think he's finally gone, he's in the car just tagging along.
Customers ask, "Is he for sale?" He shakes his head, utters a tiny wail- "I'm staff, not stock," he likes to say, and then bosses us around all day.
So now he's part of J and H, a fiend who sets his own stage. A forest sprite with stitched on pride, who follows us far and wide.
And though he's bossy, bold, and small, we've grown to love him, quirks and all- for every booth feels more complete with Forest fiendishly taking a seat.
