Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
9 years
What is your primary product or service?
children's gifts and pottery painting
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
After 25 years in the business world, I chose to develop a business which allows me to work with children and others, providing an environment and the tools to develop creative skills and confidence. It is also a great place for family members and friends to work together on creative projects, spending time in a "different" environment. The "store", featuring toys, games, art supplies, etc. was also designed to help people "bring home" a creative experience.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We are unique in what we offer and in the environment we provide, which we always hope is helpful and encouraging. The selection of merchandise and project possibilities is also amazing.

One very special location in the heart of Marin County.
