The salesperson apparently wasn't able to grab it without the owner and the owner rudely told me to wait and she'd be right back. I stood there like an idiot waiting for 20 minutes to hand over $200. Finally, it was clear she forgot and I left and found it online. After telling what happened to friends, it seems like they've all had similar experiences as the owner is well know in town to be obnoxious and couldn't care less about your business .

Read the Google reviews also to get an accurate sense of what to expect when you walk in this store. The customer service is beyond indifferent. The person on the floor yawned in my face twice and never offered any help regrading the location of sizes or pricing. It was a game of 50 questions. If you've time to search through the mostly tacky cheap looking clothes you may find something but seriously, don't waste your time.

The shop was here for decades, with the most beautiful selection of the finest European children's and infants' clothing, shoes, accessories, stuffed toys, and classic children's books. I shopped here as a child and throughout my children's baby and teen years. The proprietor, Linda Keunkler Ward, sadly, passed away in 2018, it was a very special, tasteful, and lovely shop. My children and I have memories of the shop's pet gerbil, Christmas photo cards pinned to the wall, and a little dish of gum drops at the checkout counter.

I gotta say I've hunted far and wide for the odd baby gift, took great pride in trying to be the cool aunt to my nieces by finding unique clothes, and ive even worked in a shop or two in my day. But I tell you this with great confidence - you'll never find a shop with such an exquisite array of children's clothing. Im not kidding. The owner has impeccable taste, and Ive yet to poke through these racks and find something that wasnt classic and of the utmost quality.

The racks are organized by size. There are a few fitting rooms and one large pedestal/mirror area. The customer service was top-notch, helping to hold and carry dresses and organizing the wait for the fitting rooms. When we arrived, the store was packed with several families doing the same thing that we were. The staff was calm and was able to organize everyone while not making anyone feel rushed or impatient. They paid equal amounts of attention to each girl trying on dresses, making everyone feel special. One of the ladies who helped us is also a designer, who makes some of the dresses that are available in the store. It seems they also handle all fittings and alternations, and many items like the color of little flowers, pearls and crystals and other embellishments can be customized.

Ultimately I would return since I like being able to see items in person instead of buying online. But I really recommend sticking to appointment times or making the rooms first come, first serve.
