In addition to the unique and amazing toy collection, PucciManuli sells Franklin Fountain Ice cream!!!!! Yes....the best ice cream in Philly is sold at this store. The staff at the store are all very nice and know their products. The website is very informative...you can even schedule a video chat shopping session. I went into the store mainly for their Jelly Cat collection. They have such a verity or stuffed animals..it's amazing. It's hard to find toys that aren't just plastic or tech driven. It's nice to find quality toys that kids can be creative with and also learn with. There are so many great options at PucciManuli. I can't recommend this place enough. Anytime I'm in Ardmore, I have to stop by. But be ready to spend some money. It's hard to leave without at least ice cream!

But walking in and becoming a customer has allowed me to discover an eclectic emporium of artistic curiosities that's organized and crafted by a cool old couple. I curve to 4 stars just because a lot of the art & craft items inside do yield a bit of a hefty price tag, especially for my favorite Day of the Dead items. But whether you're looking for craft jewelry, something new & exciting to hang on your wall, a new coffee mug, a fancy housewarming gift, and then some; you'll find it here. It's especially perfect if you need to shop for someone as eclectic and quirky as my mom is. PPF also curates a number of the main line artistic events that go on, and does a number of good sales that you'll only find out about off their Facebook and newsletters.

They also have a wonderful selection of locally made gifts (only place I've ever seen Bryn Mawr-themed items!) and Philadelphia sports-themed items. I got all my holiday shopping done in one stop! I also got to meet Eric who was wonderful, and he helped me pick out the perfect gift for my mother. I was also glad to hear about the wonderful work the shop supports. Their new space is beautiful and welcoming; I can't recommend this shop enough! Of note, their address in Yelp is incorrect. They are now located at 814 W. Lancaster Ave (right down the street from the Bryn Mawr film institute).

I went back to Whole Foods for another bar, unfortunately for me they sold out. Fortunately for Abiyah! Did a little research and found they have a store front. I'm so excited to go in and smell all the items.

I love these items so much that I've given them to VIP clients as gifts on multiple occasions and offer the chocolate strawberries and pretzels from The Sweet Trading Company for sale in my shop for special holidays. The chocolate covered strawberries are huge plump strawberries with really lovely long stems. Everyone oohs and ahs when they see them. The chocolate pretzels are delicious too and the Sweet Trading Company does a nice job at evenly coating them with sprinkles, M&Ms etc. Overall, I couldn't recommend the Sweet Trading Company more. The goods they produce not only look great (packaging is top notch) but also taste great. Plus the owner is really accommodating and it's always a good idea to support locally owned and operated businesses.

My GPS turned me around a bit leading me out to the next street. Ok the review: I came here through a party my friend gave. It was for the back room but spilled into the main area since so many people came! There were only two ladies working with us and I felt a little bad because everyone asked so many questions. The ladies patiently answered, even though some of them were the same. I really had fun and love the concept of choosing a pottery piece to paint. There were many pieces to choose from and ranged within the $7-$25 range, depending on the size and carving details of the piece. A whale mug was about $16, a small owl bank was about $14, etc. I was fortunate to have a coupon for the $7 studio use fee, thanks to my friend giving me a heads up. You pay for everything upfront and they write your info and pottery choice on a form. However, I was a little disappointed to find out I would have to wait a whole week to get my pottery piece. I wished the ladies working there told us the process before we started our creations. In any case, the following week I got my piece and it was packaged in a paper bag wrapped in more paper. It came out so cute! My colors were very vibrant. I totally had fun painting my piece and I would definitely set up a party of my own here. :-) This would be great for a Ladies' Night or Little Girls Day! I noticed when I picked up my piece, it was pretty quiet during the early afternoon on a Tuesday, so I assume it's a great time to come for a peaceful experience. ;-)
