I Am so happy I wondered in this shop by chance it made my day. I grew up with handmade toys and I'm so happy this shop has so many pretty toys I can buy for my little girl.
The only negative is the prices! So expensive a real treat.

After couple of weeks of researching the idea of going organic 80% at our home, I was looking forward to visiting this shop and exploring the range of products they have, I made a special trip down there on my day off.
As I was reading labels, comparing prices and taking my time in choosing there was a lady stocking up shelves and she was keep reaching over my body to reach the shelves and place items, I had a pram with my baby and I don't park in the middle of an isle, but this shop is quite narrow and the same lady asked me at least three times to move it, so she can get through. She looked grumpy and made me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable that I brought my baby! So I didn't get to read much of labels I actually placed other items from my basket back on the shelve, I have better places to go and be welcomed to spend my money at. And for $50 that I did spend they dont have eftpos, and nearest atm charges $2. As a grocer i would expect them to take card. It's also very overpriced, for little that I bought, like chicken stock was nearly $4 in woolworths is $2.89. I cannot justify this price difference on chicken stock. Vegetables also seemed really expensive in comparison to other shops I visited since. Organic, biodynamic but grumpy unwelcoming and overpriced.
