I adore this store! It is located one street over from Main, on busy North Ave, sandwiched between…read morethe Diner and a dance studio. It opened in the summer and has been quite a hit. A big, thoughtfully decorated window invites one in where you will find a divine collection of childrens' clothing, accessories, books, toys and other items bound to delight any youngster. The selection is good without being overwhelming and while more pricey than, say, Walmart or similar stores, I think you get excellent value for what you are getting. Some of the lines they carry come from England and are just adorable. And it isn't just for girls - I have got things for my now almost 2 year old nephew which were original and charming. In the back by the check out area, there is a display of some lovely jewelry, bags, and other pretty things for Mom or Grandma too. Or in my case, Auntie! I got two beautiful necklaces and some earrings on my first visit. The owner and her mother run it together and both are just delightful. I've had some excellent conversations there while checking out. Young mothers with babies are often to be found there and it is a warm and welcoming place. They often have sales and weather permitting a table of interesting items outside. Whether you are shopping for a new baby or a five year old, you will find something here that is unique, well made and just what you didn't know you were looking for. Check it out! You will be very glad you did.

Alex, the owner, is active in the local community and often hosts crafts and sing along events in the store during the week for children.

Horrible experience today. I walk in to the store with boxes covering the front enterance which was…read moreunpleasing the second I walked in. The girl behind the counter who I came to find was the owners daughter (and 12 years old.) was beyond rude, yelling at her employees, wearing improper work attire (shorts and a T-shirt) giving extremely judgmental looks to me and my two kids during our entire checkout process. Also learned that the items are extremely up-charged, seeing as to how I was close to paying 15$ for a stress toy that retails at 4.99$. I support small businesses but will NOT be supporting this one.

Some of the top winners for me first of all is the Apple Store. You also have Trader Joe's and Legals.. the yard house is also great. And you have kings for entertainment. I haven't even got started there so many stores. It's a little challenging in the winter with the snow, but it's still a great place to come always has a great atmosphere going on. Anyway good luck with the parking where you're purchasing food to take home and cook or hitting one of the restaurants for drinks. There's a great tequila place that I like in the marketplace. I'm sure you can fulfill any clothing, shoes, hair, dye, restaurant, entertainment, etc., etc. check it out great place.

I can't say enough how poorly this shopping area was designed. We can start with the parking. You…read moredrive into a gauntlet of narrow rotary's, winding roads, angled parking, crosswalks galore, U turns, intersections coming out of nowhere and pedestrians having to cross across all of this to get from store to store, side to side. Aside from the common sense parking lots behind the buildings the whole traffic flow design is congested and treacherous! Perhaps little bridges to walk over the Storrow Drive of the North Shore would be a better thought out plan then having to walk in front of distracted drivers trying to find a place to park and/or the establishment they want to dine at! Also, the handicap parking is a joke. I tried taking my handicap mother to a restaurant, The parking space was still too far for her to walk from to the restaurant, we couldn't even pull up to a door to drop her off as there is nowhere to pull safely to the side to do this. So we had to eat someplace else. Besides that who thought an open air mall in one of the coldest places in the country was a good idea? I remember back in the 60's and 70's when they were enclosing malls, i.e. The North Shore Mall, it's a more pleasurable experience to be in a climate controlled environment when it's below freezing many months of the year. Once you get past the chaos of the driving and finding a parking space. You need to play "find the store I want to go to" unlike a mall where you walk straight down the center and the stores are all line up, there is buildings hiding behind other buildings. It's like a scavage hunt trying to find where you want to go, and it's not enjoyable when it's snowing, raining, icy or just too dang hot or cold! There is no rhyme or reason to any of this design. Also, for the most part, the stores are filled with pretentious bored housewives who many of them NOT ALL but mostly are too stuck up to help you.

Their "Carter's cash" promo is FRAUDULENT. The email says"$20 or $25+ purchase" - it's false advertising! On Wed, I spent 1/2 an hour shopping only to get to the register and have them tell me I have to spend $50 to use the full $20 rewards cash. If I spend less than $50 they would only let me use $10 rewards. It doesn't say that in the email w/ my rewards cash. As I mention, it said $25+ purchase. I wasted 30 minutes of my time shopping for bowl reason. The manager and the 2 employees at the register agreed with me that it says $25 or more and nothing about spending $50. Still, they wouldn't honor the deal. I left the clothes at the register and left the store forever I used to work in retails and know mgrs can override a transaction to honor a misprinted price or promo. Currently, I work in advertising and know the attorney general issues fines for false advertising. I'm incredibly disappointed by that experience.
