Once Upon a Stick

Once upon a time, in a quiet woodland village where the trees wore gold, a traveling harvest fair arrived just as the leaves began to fall. Nearby villagers are drawn to the cozy scent of tart green apples dipped in rich, buttery caramel that has just been melted in worn copper pots. Each sugary treat is held by a knotted wood stick that was gathered from fallen branches of the old maple grove.
