“My wife is much more of a pen and stationary enthusiast than I by miles, but I do appreciate nice pens, carry useful and well made EDC items and recently fountain pens.
The store could not be better stocked and more charming and the owner could not be more friendly and knowledgeable! My daughter even collects little mouse dollhouse toys they sell there each time we stop by… We live farther away now but always make time to stop by when we’re in the area!
These are the local shops and people we want to invest in for our neighborhoods!”
“Excellent local spot for corporate gifts as well!I’m a lifelong Inman-ite and was very excited to work with them this year on office gifts.

Thanks so much albertine, I look forward to working with you again!”

She was engaged with them for the entire two hours and gave great, clear instructions. Everybody went home with a beautiful finished product and two kids even said it was the best birthday party ever! Thank you so much, Dani.”

The instructor was very knowledgable and kind, and the class was small so that lots of individual attention could be paid to each student. And the shop itself is beautiful, with a unique collection of high quality crafts. Overall I highly recommend their classes and as a destination for a special gift, for yourself or others.”

“Recently my daughter was sick, land I ordered several things from Grandma's Chicken Soup. On the day the order shipped, my daughter was admitted to the hospital - and wouldn't be home for the delivery. I emailed them, and not only did they respond, I received a phone call! They were able to stop the delivery, and will hold it until she gets home - at which time I can have it sent. This was superb, thoughtful Custer Service - totally unexpected, and so very appreciated.”
