Dear Little Traveler,

Your store has meant so much to me over the years. I remember the first time I came to The Little Traveler for lunch and to shop in the stores. Being a young girl, the store seemed so large—I was afraid that I might get lost! There was room after room with glorious things to behold in each one, each very different than the last.

As I became a young lady in the 1980s, I began organizing monthly outings with my friends. We have been getting together every month since then! One of our favorite places to go is The Little Traveler. We look forward to the newsletters, planning to see the programs (which are always wonderful), the lunches, and of course, shopping! There is always something amazing to discover every time we visit. We always come home with treasures for ourselves, gifts for others, and big smiles.

Over these many years, I make sure to bring friends with me who have never been to The Little Traveler—and they become enthralled with the store and programs, as well. Thank you to everyone who works at The Little Traveler—the cooks, servers, those who organize the events, the Almanack editor, and everyone who works in the shops. It is a labor of love.

Sincerely, Kimberly Johnson
