Swanton’s DeEtte’s Dream Diner

This is a good time of year for a short drive. For a worthwhile adventure, take Airport Highway west into Swanton, Ohio. DeEtte’s Dream Diner sits a bit off the beaten path. Pulling up, the building doesn’t look like much from the outside. My son reminded me not to judge a book by its cover. “Maybe it’s cool in there,” he said. And he was right! Past the colorful metal rooster greeting visitors (along with a season-appropriate plastic skeleton dressed like a farmer), the door opens into an extremely warm environment. Country music plays in the background, paired with a small wooden plaque that says “Hello, Sunshine!”

Copper Moon celebrates 20 years of glass art and family tradition

For Stacy Owen, owner of Copper Moon Studio Gallery & Gifts near Holland, it all started in a tiny house in the 7100 block of Front Street. The glassblower of 30 years always wanted to own her business and finally decided to take the leap with the help of her father, Bruce Wetzel, and Dan Owen, who is now her husband, around 2006. “Finally, I was like, ‘OK, this would be great,’” Mrs. Owen said of starting the business. “Then, at that point, I was like, ‘Let’s try this little teeny tiny house and see how it goes.’” Twenty years later, the trio found themselves celebrating how much the business had grown and the challenges they overcame through the studio’s 20th Mooniversary Weekend. The two-day event featured walk-in Lil’ Chips activities, cutting classes, and metalworking workshops. The studio’s Lil’ Chips class allows participants to make glass suncatchers, candle holders, plates, and night-lights. Many families participated Saturday. Jayme Harper of Traverse City, Mich., sat next to her daughter, Adaliese Harper, 10, and her sister, Jenny Harrington of Ottawa Hills. Ms. Harrington was with her daughters, Gillian, 8, and Grady, 10, whom she was guiding through the process. Grady made a plate
