Pennypickle loves and treasures his
books (just like you do, right?) but
sometimes the volume of his library
gets a little overwhelming. His loss
is your gain as you discover new
treasures to take to your
library. Be sure to visit
Pennypickles gift shop early to take
advantage of these great buys and
receive a free gift with your
purchase of $20 or more
(Saturday only).
Remember that proceeds from sales
in the gift shop help to benefit
events and programming at the
Imagination Workshop - thanks for
your support! |
