What Makes This Butterfly House Different
Teardrop Shape — Steady in the Wind
Earl's signature design. Aerodynamic and stable — no swinging, no stress on the mount. Dot's oldest house has hung from the same white oak since 1998. She has never built another shape.
Calibrated Slot Width
Wide enough for butterflies and moths — narrow enough to keep birds and predators out. Not a guess. The result of nearly thirty years of close observation.
Built-in Puddler
Butterflies don't drink droplets — they absorb minerals from damp sand. Without this, almost none will move in. The small tray at the base is not decorative.
Untreated Natural Wood
No varnish, no plastic, no chemical smell that drives insects away. Weatherproof, durable, and blends into any garden like it's always been there.
Easy-Access Back Panel
Opens for cleaning without tools. Keeps the house a functioning habitat year after year — not just decoration after the first season.
Limited — No Restock
Earl passed three years ago. Dot's daughter is in Charlotte. A new great-grandchild arrived in February. She is done waiting to be closer. The workshop stays in Weaverville. What's finished is finished.
Dorothy "Dot" Callaway, 75
Weaverville, North Carolina — ten minutes from Asheville, deep in the Blue Ridge foothills. Her late husband Earl was a finish carpenter. He taught her the teardrop form, and Dot has never built another shape. In thirty-two years she has built more than 3,000 houses — every one with the same slot calibration, every one with the puddler at the base. Every package she packs herself, and she writes a personal note to every buyer.
🌿 Expert Perspective
"The private garden has become the last viable habitat for many butterfly species in developed regions of the United States. A functional house — with correct slot geometry, a puddling station, and untreated wood — can mean the difference between local extinction and a stable population. The problem is not people's willingness. The problem is that most commercially available butterfly houses simply do not meet the basic biological requirements."

Excellent mineral sunscreen with minimal white cast.
Style: SPF 50
This is one of the healthier sunscreens I’ve found so far. You’re not likely going to find a mineral sunscreen that doesn’t leave some white cast. However, this one rubs in pretty good with minimal cast.
You can dab on and rub in fairly easily… as long as you don’t use too much the white cast should be minimal. I am not sure how well this would work on darker skin tones. My arms are a medium skin tone… my legs are more of a light-medium tone.
I prefer mineral sunscreens, and this is the best one I found so far and compatible to Supergoop mineral play. If you liked that one, you would likely enjoy this Coola one too.

Would not recommend
Style: SPF 50
I literally never write reviews but felt compelled to write one for this sunscreen because I was very caught off guard by all the positive reviews. This sunscreen leaves the most insane white sheen that never soaks in and gets on EVERYTHING. I put this on and drove to the beach and had sunscreen on my car seat, the steering wheel, the center console, the door, EVERYWHERE!
It took forever to clean up and was such a hassle and that was after having let the sunscreen soak into my skin for an hour.
Also the sunscreen is really thick and difficult to spread and makes you look ghostly white. Plus, the sunscreen has a really odd odor that reminded me of play dough? That might not be a negative thing for everyone but I found it unpleasant.
There are definitely better mineral sunscreens out there. For the price I expected a much better product.

Sticky and white
Style: SPF 50
The sunscreen has a very sticky and thick texture. It will keep you from getting sunburnt, but it will also leave you with a white color.

Good sunscreen
Style: SPF 50
Super good coverage and it lasts a long time in the sun and even through water activities. The only negative is the white cast. Not as bad as others but just be aware it doesn’t fully rub in.

Great sunscreen & works for kids - even used in resorts!
Style: SPF 50
Terrific! I don’t feel it is as good as chemical ones but my favorite non-chemical one. Used on a long vacation and it did the job! Also didn’t cause pimples like other thick versions of this.
