Toys To Treasure

April in Paris

We are proud to present our new window display designed and created by our talented artist Ashley Blanton. The Parisian scene in the backdrop is stenciled and cut out with intricate details and the little painted houses in the forefront give it a three dimensional feeling.   Bravo Ashley!

April in Paris features the wonderful and charming selection of quintessentially French toys by Moulin Roty. You will be greeted by the Parisians Madame Constance, Monsieur Marcel, and Mademoiselle Collette as well as the three happy cats Gros ChaCha, Minoucha, and Chamalo. Join the party by the Eiffel Tower and sip some delicious tea together with the lovely rag dolls Jeanne, Adele, Louison, and Fanette. Ahh, April in Paris…!
