Masculine-Coded* Cottagecore Things
Suspenders! All kinds! Bright ones and classy ones and new ones and vintage ones! Suspenders rule!
Repairing the fence over and over and over again! How do those rascals keep getting out?
Ashes on your hands from cleaning out the stove or the fireplace.
Carving/whittling! Making small trinkets and leaving them hidden around the house for your partner to find.
Skipping stones in the calm part of the creek about a mile to the east.
Chatting up your friends at the farmer's market! Everyone is so busy, but you always make time for each other.
Picking some wildflowers for your love on the way home.
Laughing with your partner late into the night about what color you should paint the bedroom.
*All people can express femininity and masculinity in whatever ways they desire, of course! I just noticed that Cottagecore tends to lean toward the very traditionally feminine end of the spectrum, and I wanted to contribute something a little different!

Folklore: The Leaf Lights
This is a lil piece of not very well known folklore that comes from a few places Maryland, Oregon, and Washington mostly.
The leaf lights have some mixed Folklore.
But the leaf lights are apparently autumn colored lights that come along only in November and October. Strange little lights that hide amoung in the leaves and guide people into pumpkin patches, corn fields, squash patches, tree groves, or deeper into the woods.
Many people describe encounters with the leaf lights or " leaf people " as as charming, non-threatening, and playful.
Some ideas of what they are:
1. they are orange, yellow and red willo-whisps.
2. Fall faeries
3. Magic made by the pumpkin people {a entity I'll explain in another post}
4. Leaf people aka far or entities having a connection with changing leaves.
5. Reflections of light on wet leaves.
Making little leaf or autumn themed lights to attract the leaf lights or "leaf people" is what some witches from mostly Maryland and Oregon do from what I've been told.
