I want to first say thank you to the two couples that swung by to visit me at the Cranbury Craft Show! It was great to meet some readers - and was happy to hear they found the show because of this newsletter!
This weekend I will be at the Grounds for Sculpture Artisan Market with a whole lot of coconut candles to sell! I would love to meet more of you so stop by the Kind Hive booth and say hi.
Have an event you want the world to know about? K, maybe not the world, but a good portion of NJ? You can add it here for free! But, why not contact me and let’s work together to create something more memorable?

Birthday Suit Optional, $2.9M Required
Tucked away on 35 acres in Mount Olive, the former Goodland Country Club was keeping quite the secret from the rest of us - it was apparently a popular nudist resort. Now listed at $2.9M, this one-of-a-kind property comes complete with a Victorian mansion, 20+ one-room cabins, a pool, and enough acreage to make sure your neighbors never see what you're up to.
The home was built in the late 1800s and the last owner, Joachim “Jack” Korzilius, ran the country club from 1975 until 2024 when he shut the doors. And now, it can be yours!
