You can make adorable mini-bouquets at new Bloom Bar near Howell
A local crafter has expanded into Kensington Valley Outlets with her very own "Bloom Bar" at Mi Unique Art. Crystal Coulter, of Highland, is the owner of Crystal Makes The Things , a small business that can be found at craft shows and, now, in stores in Howell and Highland. Coulter has been a crafter since childhood, often making elaborate gifts for her family for Christmas. As she made her way into adulthood, including four years in the United States Air Force, she never lost her interest in creative arts. Coulter launched Crystal Makes The Things in 2024. At the time, she focused on selling magnets. By early 2025, she started making her booths more interactive, with do-it-yourself pens and keychains. Most recently, she's created "Bloom Bars," an interactive station where customers can choose between pre-made beaded flowers to make their own mini-bouquets. According to Coulter, watching customers get creative has been the best part of Bloom Bars.

A Walk in the Park: Lansing’s Hunters Ridge Park has trails, river views
A Walk in the Park is an ongoing series from State Journal photographer Nick King, who intends to explore Lansing area parks one hour at a time. If you have a suggestion of a park he should visit, email him at nking@lsj.com. Lansing’s Hunters Ridge Park offers visitors a place of rustic, natural beauty along the Grand River within the city limits. Located at 4000 Hunters Ridge Dr., the park features rolling hills and a forest of thick trees. Its unpaved natural trails wind through the woods, offering glimpses of local wildlife, including deer and various bird species, along with scenic views of the Grand River. For biking enthusiasts, Hunters Ridge Park serves as the northern starting point of the West Lansing Trails mountain bike system. Beginning at Hunters Ridge, the continuous trail network connects south to Fulton Park before ending at Fine Park. The entire three-park loop stretches over 7 miles long. The park includes a parking lot for visitors. Leashed dogs are welcome, and there are no public bathrooms on site.
