We are a small, but eclectic clothing and gift store located just steps from the famous Saturday Market. What started as a children's clothing boutique has evolved into a place to find ethically produced items for infants, toddlers, kids, and teens. We also carry a large selection of custom printed tourist items such as mugs, water bottles, t-shirts, puzzles, and more. Custom printing is available on site while you wait MOST weekends, or at our off-site studio with a 24-48 hour turn around time. We carry many basics for kids as well as lots of fun and funky items. We have a few locally produced lines in store, and proudly display a few other talented artist's works which are available direct from their individual studios. Our fish tank is always a big hit with the kids, which is at their level. The kids will be enthralled while the adults shop! Our store is family owned/operated with everyone involved in some way. The kids model and help in the store, Carolyn is in the store 4-5 days a week and does most of the ordering and runs the custom printing end of things. Ed is the payment and handy-man and Johanna keeps the books up to date and also works occasionally during the summers. We have also welcomed a lovely local Mom into our family 2-3 days a week which gives Carolyn a chance to get creative at home in the new studio!

We produce simple, healthy, and natural body care products (since 1979).
