"The sweetest story I've heard from a customer was in our original Adams Morgan store: Her seven-year-old daughter liked to play 'Miss Pixie's' on rainy days: She would move dishes and knickknacks, art, pillows, and household items around and do little vignettes in the kitchen and living room and sit at the counter and pretend it was her store. Her mother would choose items to be wrapped and rung up, to her daughter's delight. I was so flattered, it brought a tear to my eye that I was inspiring a young entrepreneur-or a great actress!"
"She loved coming in with her mom-I guess people don't always deal with shop owners, so she thought it was really cool that a lady had her own store. It made me feel good that I was probably one of her mother's stops around the neighborhood. I feel like that's as much a part of the community as you can be, where you're someone's weekly stop."
"A lot of times, I'll see little kids come in-and [then] I'm like, 'Oh my God, you're in college now.' I remember going into shops with my mother and having that same exchange where they're like, 'You're all grown up!'"
"I delivered a piece of furniture to a woman one morning, and we got there and she wasn't home and I was like, 'I can't believe she stood me up.' Well, the woman was at the hospital [giving birth]. When I got in touch with her later, we had a big laugh about it."
