Curiosities for Kids has all the magical wonder of its taxidermy and gardening mother store, Paxton Gate, but with a little more color and lightness for the kiddies. Along with the rainbow’s array of books, games and toys often celebrating the natural world, the Valencia Street shop a short walk from 16th St/Mission Station hosts workshops just as fun: try the Make-A-Monster Felting Workshop for your little one to make a take-home friend.

Also a beginner gardener by day/performing songwriter by night, she feels grateful to live a life of extremes balancing plenty of contemplative silence with rocking out in a band. When not writing, she keeps her hands busy (and dirty) with old guitar strings and soil, and enjoys engaging with the Bay Area’s diverse environmental and cultural beauty. She loves puns to a fault and shamelessly laughs at her own jokes.
