This week brought heartbreaking news with the passing of the one‑of‑a‑kind sweetheart, Dolly Parton. As I’ve been preparing for our upcoming Leonard, MI Barn & Basement Estate Sale on September 11–13, I’ve come across several décor and gardening pieces that instantly reminded me of her gentle spirit.🦋
Many of these items are brand new, still in their boxes, never used — and they carry that same soft, joyful energy Dolly shared with the world.
In a 2021 interview with W Magazine, Dolly said something that has always stayed with me:
“Butterflies don’t sting, they don’t bite, and they are so beautiful. And I just kind of related to them with my own personality. I don’t want to hurt anybody… and I still don’t.”
That quote feels especially tender now. And as I hold these butterfly‑themed treasures in my hands, I can’t help but think of her — a true angel who touched millions with kindness, humor, and heart. 🦋
If Dolly’s spirit has ever inspired you, mark your calendars.
Come see if one of these pieces speaks to you and finds a new home filled with love.
September 11–13 • Leonard, MI
