In a Store near You...

...if you live in St Paul or in Minneapolis, Minnesota, you can find our Un Petit Monde postcards or Children's book at:

Corazon Gifts

Corazon , which means "heart" in spanish, is our favorite place to shop for great gifts in the Twin Cities. The items there are unique and locally-made but most importantly the owner (Susan) and her staff are kind and really love art! Go check out this gift shop if you haven't already, there are two locations: in Minneapolis on Lake St. And Marshall and in St Paul on Selby Ave. and Mackubin next to Great Harvest Bread.

​Sixth Chamber Used Books

Sixth Chamber Used Books is located on Grand and Hamline Ave. a block from Kowalski's. There is also a sister store named Fox Den in River Falls, WI. The two book stores combined contain more than one hundred thousand titles, that's a lot of books!

The used book stores I'm familiar with smell mildewy, are dim-lighted and cluttered. Sixth Chamber is far from that description. In fact, it feels more like a small library: the aisles are narrow, full of books mingled with puzzles, stationary and a sizable collection of toys, educational toys.

James, the owner,  is a really great guy but in our opinion " Jem " is the star of the place. This litte dog was so friendly to everyone stepping into the store that Kurt had to take his picture. It seems that book stores like these are becoming increasingly rare, which is a shame. If you prefer real books (not digital tablets) go to either Sixth Chamber or Fox Den and lose yourself for an afternoon!

​Common Good Books

We used to spend entire afternoons reading books at Common Good Books when they were located beneath Nina's cafe on Selby and Western. That was part of our routine when we lived in the Cathedral Hill area years ago. They are now located on Snelling Ave and Grand next to Breadsmith and you can find a copy of our Children's book titled "Welcome to the Small World a Book of Big Surprises" :)
