We can't let small business die. That being said there are virtually no more toy stores out there anymore. Except for the real ones!

Kicked off the week by being serenaded on harmonica by our fabulous new friend Sophie so we know it’s gonna be an ✨AMAZINGGG✨ week! 🤩
Can you believe she learned this in approximately 10 minutes as they walked around Downtown after spontaneously buying her first harmonica from us?!
She was so excited that she had to come back & give us a lil concert! 🤩🫶🏻🎶
