She was great to work with from across the country. We emailed back and forth for about two weeks, picking a design, finalizing the wording and getting the invites in the mail. Mary was incredibly responsive, responding to emails late at night and on weekends when she definitely wasn't working. She also was a great sport when we switched designs and needed new options. Can't say enough about the kind, thoughtful service we received. I truly wish we could have a Mary and Sass N Class in my little town. Thank you, thank you for all of your help!

I was looking for bargains on…read moreused kits and bits for kitbashing and found lots of stuff at significantly lower prices than local hobby shops and many things even lower than the cost of shipping on ebay. I definitely recommend taking the time to visit all 5 buildings. If you're the kind of bargain hunter that likes digging for deals you will get your fill here. That said, I don't know that it's an ideal all-ages family event. If you have a family member who is particularly interested in railoading defintely bring them along, and there were a few layouts to look at but not alot else for kids to do. Also, I can't imagine trying to naviate this place with a stroller. Still, it's only $7 for adults and kids and parking are free so a pop-in with the little ones just to see the trains is not an expensive proposition. I'll definitley be back to shop next month but until my kids are a bit older (8-9 or so...) I'll probably stick with visiting area train club open houses which tend to be free and -by nature of being permanent- more visually impressive.

I guess that's where the "and more" part comes in (and does a lot of heavy lifting). Of the books on display, they had only a single copy (at least out on the floor). And the books were displayed face out, which makes sense when you're trying to catch the attention of young children many of whom can't read, but then when only half of your shelves hold books it's fairly sparse. They also had some stuff from some local purveyors and gifts and stuff. I got some bath stuff to try with my little one to shake up bath time a bit. They have some stuffed animals and stuff. They have some benches and pillows, spaces for kids to hang out and play; one was a wardrobe that was really nicely arranged as a reading nook which my kiddo really enjoyed. (I wish I had the vision to see something like a wardrobe and find that if I take the doors off and anchor it to a wall, it could be a fun place to cuddle up!) Something that's really cool is that they have a fishtank with a couple of axolotls, which my babe was astonished by. The bookstore seems to have a cool thing where you can arrange to have your kid feed them. Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of our visit here was the reason we came. I saw on Instagram that they were having train day, mentioning train books and crafts. My daughter loves trains, so we headed down. I think there were three train books on display. And the "craft" was some half-sheets of paper, crayons, and sheets of stickers that had trains on them. There was another family that had come in at the same time as us and I couldn't help but wonder if they were as let down as I was. I'd been really looking forward to visiting this bookstore--I wanted to about a year ago but hadn't been able to get here. I don't know that I'd come back even if I was nearby, because there are so few books that I don't know I'd want to just stop in to take a look since I'm not sure we'd find anything. Depending upon what's happening I'm not sure what parking is like; there's a good deal of parking down the block near the train station, but otherwise limited street parking.
