As we continue to share more pieces from the Little Locals Collection, I’ve been taking a moment to reflect on how I got here and all the work that went into bringing this idea to life.

This collection started as a dream and really began to take shape during my time in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program. That experience pushed me to think bigger, trust my ideas, and finally bring something to life that had been sitting in my heart for a long time ✨

Now, seeing this collection hanging in the shop every day feels a little surreal.

To everyone who has purchased a piece, shared a post, cheered me on, or supported my shop over the years… thank you. Your support means more than you’ll ever know, and you’re a big part of why this dream became a reality 🌈

The newest piece in the Little Locals Collection is here 🌈

We’re happiest when we’re downtown Iowa City. Walking the sidewalks, supporting local businesses, running into familiar faces, and being part of a place that means so much to so many.

Designed with love for Iowa City and everyone in it ✨

We don’t just sell Jellycat… we love being part of the moments that matter most 🌈

From birthdays and baby showers to graduations and all of life’s meaningful milestones, we’re honored to help our customers find the perfect gift for the people they love.

What truly makes our shop special is the real-life connections we get to create every day. There’s nothing better than seeing smiles, sharing in celebrations, and watching happiness come alive as someone finds that just-right Jellycat for a special moment ❤️

Maileg mice are the kind of toys that become part of the family!

Designed in Denmark, these charming little mice are made to be treasured for years to come. With their tiny outfits, whimsical accessories, and timeless storytelling, they’re more than just toys… they’re heirloom pieces meant to be loved, played with, and eventually passed down.

A little bit of magic, imagination, and childhood wrapped up in one tiny mouse 🐭✨

Last night during Arts Fest, we put a blank canvas outside and invited strangers to draw themselves 🎨🤍

By the end of the night, it had become a beautiful collection of people, stories, and creativity. We loved watching complete strangers add their own little piece.

This is what community looks like, and it’s one of the many reasons we love calling Iowa City home.

The canvas is inside the shop today, and there’s still plenty of blank space waiting for you. Come add yourself to the story! 🌈

Tomorrow for the Downtown Iowa City Gallery Walk, we’re excited to host artist Andrea Cernin () and her solo exhibition, Paradox of Motherhood 🎨🤍

Through bold color, layered texture, and expressive movement, Andrea’s work explores the beautiful contradictions of motherhood where love and exhaustion, freedom and responsibility, identity and self-loss can all exist at the same time.

As a baby shop, a community space, and a place where so many parents gather, this exhibit feels especially meaningful to us. We can’t wait to share her work with you.

Join us tomorrow from 5–8pm at 223 Baby Co. as part of the Downtown Iowa City Gallery Walk and kick off Art Fest weekend with us ✨

Shopping local is important because it keeps communities thriving ✨

When you choose a small business, you’re supporting real people, real families, and real dreams. You’re helping a parent pay for dance lessons, a family take a vacation, an employee buy groceries, and an entrepreneur continue building something they love.

Local businesses sponsor little league teams, donate to school fundraisers, support community events, and help create the places that make our towns unique.

Every purchase has a ripple effect. What may feel like a small purchase to you can make a huge difference to a small business owner.

Thank you for choosing local, sharing our posts, telling your friends about us, and continuing to support the businesses that make our community feel like home 🌈
