Shop update

People have been asking me when my new shop is opening. I'm working hard behind the scenes to get things up and running soon, hopefully in the next few weeks (this is a one-man-show, it's the summer hols in France and I've three kids at home... I need to get back into the swing of things after a three-year "break" from work).
Here's a taste of things to come - vintage puzzles by Galt, bright snap cards by Abbatt toys, a Swedish cutout doll, a 50s toy piano (that works!), tons of children's books and lots, lots more. I promise to keep you up-to-date. Hope you like what you see!
