I collect reborn dolls and this is the perfect place to find newborn and preemie clothes for them. You can sure get carried away though!

I keep trying this location a chance in hopes it has gotten better. Today we went in there looking for specific items and did not find them. That is not the problem at all what was an issue was seeing a PJ with holes and very faded for 9.50! No way I would buy that. A pair of scuffed and stained shoes for 20! Okay we know that prices are up but this should be a place where families can feel good about shopping. A few years ago this place was fine but now it has gone down hill.
