DUMBO: Home of the Biggest Rainbow Parade!

For the love of color! We saw a major feat of community this weekend in DUMBO - 179 amazing, colorful people set the world record for the largest Raindbow Parade!

Imagine DUMBO Loves Their New Toys!

Look at this great photo collage that Imagine DUMBO sent us! We love to see kids having fun, using their imaginations, and learning at the same time! Imagine DUMBO is a great Early Learning Center for infants through Pre-K in the same 'hood as our shop, and it was our pleasure to donate some of our favorite toys to each group of students (each group is named after a bird - Chickadee, Peacock, Hummingbird, Toucan...how cute is that?). We chose lots of toys that are eco-friendly, educational, and, of course, lots of fun! Thank you, Imagine DUMBO, for the great images, and we're glad everyone loves the toys!
