Thank you so much Burbank Book Festival @burbankpubliclibrary @burbanklovesbooks for putting on such a community-driven event. Thank you @emilybarthisler and @erinlarosalit for inviting us and making us feel so special. We loved it so much and can’t wait for more collaborations in the future ♥️♥️

Also, we want to bring up that not only did we see many of our regular customers show up to support the event, but we met many new faces who live around our future second location who said the kindest words to us. We were already excited to be opening up in NoHo, but we’re now even more thrilled to see you all again.
