I first visited The Little Traveler with my college roommate who was from Geneva. We were freshmen at NIU in the late 1950’s and I loved it then as I do now. I’ve never been to a gift shop that feels like it was dedicated to everything I like. It totally fits me and my likes. From the jewelry to the stationery to the garden room, I love it all. This past winter I bought five (5) snowflake pins that I gave to very special friends.
I’ve started bringing my only granddaughter there to celebrate her Oct. birthday. We started when she was four and have done it for three years now. Also, when being rewarded for being so good when her Dad was recuperating from surgery, her mother wanted to reward her and Kathryn said she wanted to go to Geneva shopping with Grandma Purple. Now what’s better than that?
