I am a single 55 year-old woman without children who can be seen anytime in this store looking at the gorgeous children's clothing (makes me want to adopt)as well as the unique toys upstairs. They have a great collection of stuffed animals without discrimination to specie. It is one of the best stores in Old Towne.
