We are thrilled to finally announce that we are having local fave Phoebe Wahl join us at the shop for a special reading on September 12. Phoebe will be reading from her new book with Sophie Blackall, as well as from Little Witch Hazel. Space is limited so we are selling tickets via raffle, in shop and cash-only! All raffle ticket proceeds will go to SE Seattle Schools Fundraising Alliance. See flyer for details!

We overheard someone describe Chrysanthemum as a “book store for babies” the other day and while we sure are a shop for babies, we are also a shop for all ages! Did you know how many fun things we have for adults? Now you do!

Happy summer, folks! We are not taking appointments in the month of July but you’re welcome to do a drop anytime we are open! We are taking for summer, back to school, and the stuff we always consider like books, toys, shoes, and rain gear!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Wonderland-themed fundraiser for The Emergency Feeding Program of King County on Saturday! Special thanks to for helping orchestrate the event and donating a gift card, for donating baked goods, for hosting a donation bin, and for donating a gift card! It was truly a community effort; we appreciate you!

We’ve been dreaming up a fun and whimsical event that also supports our community! There will be a cast of Wonderland characters to take photos with, an iced tea and cookie stand, and a costume contest (wear your best Alice in Wonderland-inspired garb!) This is a free event to attend, though our goal is to raise funds for the King County Emergency feeding program! We will be accepting non-perishable food items and monetary donations to support their crucial work. Please join us!

We are so excited to host Michelle, creator of the delightful watercolor art experience known as You as an Animal, here at the shop on Sunday, May 3rd! You pick what animal you want to be depicted as, she creates the magic. Michelle and her art are so beloved that almost all the time slots for portraits filled before we even had a chance to advertise, but there are still a couple spots left (Google doc with sign up times is linked in our story today.)
