Browsing at Once Upon a Time on Queen Anne is like searching for treasure in Grandma's attic, if your grandma happens to be a collector of All Things Childhood. The 5,000 square foot shop, in a 100-year-old two story converted house, features room after room of delights. The store recently expanded to include a new baby boutique on street level. Here you will find many local products and organic options as well as a unique selection of clothing and baby gifts. You will love the huge selection of European toys from Haba, Kathe Kruse, Holztiger and others. Downstairs is a great place to pick up practical items like a Moby Wrap, Ergo or Baby Bjorn Carrier, cloth diapers, or a booster seat. The upstairs is filled with toys that inspire the imaginations of children and help develop their physical, social and intellectual growth.

You won’t believe how big the store is until you start exploring all the rooms. This room has everything your little artist needs plus woodworking model kits, beading, knitting and doll making. Over here there are delicate tea sets, sturdy gardening tools, cookbooks and kits for the young chef. This room is for green science projects, rocks and minerals, microscopes, and the very best in award-winning games. There is even a room devoted entirely to dress-up and make-believe play overflowing with colorful silk dresses, velvet capes, knight tunics, pirate attire, wands, wings, playsilks and crowns. There is a wonderful book room to explore and a doll section with waldorf dolls, old-fashioned rag dolls, Corolle babies, and dollhouses. There are rooms for clothing, bath toys, puppets, musical instruments from around the world, backpacks and goody bag treasures. Once Upon a Time offers timeless classics for all ages, helpful tools for new parents, and gifts for every budget. It is truly a place that celebrates the joy of childhood.
