Our stories today walk through memories of people and places that shape us as we grow up, and the small acts that fill our cup, literally and metaphorically. We’ll start in The Teashop, remembering the moment of finding your people in adolescence, we’ll drink a cup of matcha and say hello to a kitty with a crooked tail. Then we’ll open the Jewelry Box and remember when its green velvet lining was first laid in, we’ll stop for a muffin from the corner store and watch the geese kicking through the pond in the park. Finally we’ll wander over to the flower section with our grocery list in hand in Hyacinths and share their sweetness with a stranger.
