I've been in the store twice, the first time being in 2023, and the second in 9/2024. During my first visit I walked in to find one employee stocking some items at the front entrance.

Great store for just about anyone! I can find sweet gifts for all the people in my life here, from small chocolates and stickers to the most lovely jewelry and art, and even functional items for the home and kitchen. The store is so well curated it that everything I find feels like a special or useful item. I love all the locally made jewelry and artwork, things you can't find just anywhere. Sonia and her crew are really sweet and helpful if you ever need inspiration. So glad to have a shop like this...
