in addition to having a wide book selection and thoughtfully curated displays, they also have a big selection of cards, stickers and stationary. i picked out a handful of cards with unique, whimsical, and charming illustrations on them. the shop is aesthetically beautiful—it feels organized and clean while being warm and welcoming. natural light from the large front windows illuminates the shop. the light colored wood and walls are soft and warm, allowing the many vibrant book covers to pop and draw you in. i have more recently become interested in poetry; a japanese haiku book about cats caught my eye and i didn’t think twice about the purchase. a lovely shop. i hope to come back again!

This bookstore inspires creativity! Even though it's a pretty small store I could spend hours here. I loved the section on local authors and storytellers. Stop in and check it out!

Lovely spot with a well curated selection. A little of everything I want in an indie bookstore, including a sassy cat
