The store is part of a great community. This photo is from The Elgin Street trick or treat fun. The kids enjoyed complimentary by The Colourful Chameleon face painting thanks to our sponsor The Gifted Type.

Love this place! So many cute gifts and finds. My favorites are the stickers and pins! Only thing is it gets crowded very quickly in that store so maybe implementing a store capacity would be a good idea
