These sweet girls made our week!

Everyday these dancers came looking for trolls from our toy machine! After trading and bartering they got every last one!

One of the best parts of doing what we do is the connections and friendships made— seeing their smiles and getting to laugh with them was one of the highlights of SDCCS 2026🥰

Thank you for an incredible week!

We had an amazing time in Moncton at SDCCS 2026! Celebrating the 50th anniversary, seeing the incredible hard work and talent of the dancers, and of course seeing our friends and customers!

If you came to get fitted for shoes, buy some gifts, or just to stop and chat— you made this week memorable and we are so grateful for you!💜

Ghillie is missing!
Have you seen this well travelled 🧳 Bear ?

We've still not heard a peep from our Ghillie!

If you have any photos of Ghillie, please share them with us. Hopefully he'll come out of hiding when he sees all the fond memories everyone has of him 🐻❤
