Twinkle Twinkle Little One Opens
You’ve seen Dirty Dancing enough to know that no one puts baby in a corner.
Unless it’s in a room of gifts from Twinkle Twinkle Little One, the just-opened Roscoe Village kids’ shop.
Owner Rachel Glasson stocks it with beautiful items like hand-smocked crib bedding by Elizabeth Allen Atelier, distressed wood dressers by Relics, and vintage-inspired baby blankets by Mairzey Dotes. The baby registry is handy. And soon Glasson will introduce interior design consultations, bringing store samples to your home to help you create a well-coordinated and functional nursery. Ensuring that even before she can crawl …
Your little one will be dancing with the stars.
