Purple Aardvark

Carolyn has been bored without the store to keep her busy. Having her granddaughter living far away, made her realize how she could help out people who don’t have family near by.

Sick kids, running errands, driving kids, walking dogs…all things the occasional grandma can help with!

Come on over and get some Christmas 🎄 shopping 🛍️ done. Carolyn will be there all afternoon with her husband and would love 💕 to see you. So many great vendors and lots of amazing gift 🎁 options!

See you there! Marketspace Vendor Events always does a great show and Cousins Lobster Truck will also be there. Great day for beer 🍺 , lobster 🦞& shopping 🛍️!

This makes having to close the store all worth it! Carolyn had the opportunity to spend over a week with her new granddaughter in Chicago! This cutie came a bit early and has been winning our hearts from the beginning!

Welcome Mia!!!
