About the Firefly

It’s a wonderful place to just come on in and breathe. Located at 90 Main Street in beautiful downtown Northport, The Firefly is open seven days a week. We stay open late until 9pm Wednesday through Saturday, and until 7pm on Sundays. For you early birds, we’re also open by 9am on the weekends.

We have items that are uplifting and pieces to meditate on. There are reminders of home and wonderful visits. Wit, whimsey and bittersweet reflections. Daydreams. Savored things. So much ever-loving Art.

Repair Café Huntington Station!

The Repair Café is Coming to Huntington Station

In a time where buying something new often comes before fixing what we have, The Repair Cafe is a great place to get advice, learn a thing or two, and be inspired! There are no guarantees, but a promise to try. Many find the experience itself worth the effort. Folks involved are excited to announce that the next one will be held:

When: Saturday, January 24th, 2026 from 10am-2pm
Where: Huntington Public Library Station Branch, 1335 New York Ave, Huntington Station

Want to Help?

Are you handy with machines? Electronics? Even a needle & thread?

Would you share this knowledge with the community? Help keep folks from throwing good things into landfills? Maybe just help folks save a few dollars? Come with your kids and teach them, come to teach others, or just come to learn and make new friends?

We imagine The Repair Café  would be an EXCELLENT service project for Scouts, and really anyone who wants to promote the fine art of giving things a second chance at life, and to help make the world little thriftier and more self-reliant.

The best way to get in touch is through the Repair Cafe Long Island Facebook Page. You may also contact Laurie at starflexp@aol.com to learn more!!!

Get involved in The Repair Café!

Laurie Explains

You don’t have to be super mechanical. Everybody can teach or help with something.

Said Laurie: “The more volunteers, the faster folks can get things repaired. People need to be able to bring their own tools. We get a lot of TVs and lamps and small electronics. We also could use people who are good with furniture, clothing/textiles (with sewing machine), more people for jewelry, anyone for watches and clocks, and other miscellaneous things (last time we had an ironing board, bicycle, a small statue that needed to be glued back together…).

We could also make space for a mental health person who would take time to listen to folks who just have a need to talk, or anyone who can do massage (sure, we can ‘fix’ people, too!).

Anyone who’d like to do some small DIY demos like how to sew on a button, darn a sock, rewire a lamp… Join us!

Check out The Repair Café Long Island on Facebook. Just scroll through the images there and look at these folks helping each other and learning so much together. Oh my goodness!

For years now, Laurie Farber of Starflower Experiences has made it part of her mission to help people fix things rather than just throw them out. Starting in Wyandanch, they built on the idea and carried it through covid. A natural partner, libraries which already work to provide communities with a number of educative resources, allow her to use to their space to strengthen their peoples capability. They’ve been to Huntington before, as well as a number of locations across Long Island. Anyone willing to volunteer and help the program is greatly appreciated!

Additional events will be held:
February 28 – Harborfields Public Library
March 7 – Uniondale Public Library
March 14 – South Huntington Public Library
March 21 – Comsewogue Public Library
March 28 – Wyandanch Public Library
April 18 – Lindenhurst Public Library
April 25 – Town of Huntington Earth Day @ Manor Farm
June 20 – Longwood Public Library
