Ok, so here's a photo of Dave, the super tech. He does all the hard work. I can fill some of the cartridges, but most of what I do is handle the front counter. All the really complex stuff goes to him. He's the man!
Dave's a funny guy. He loves doing woodworking projects. In fact, his big focus for the past 12 years or so has been to make hand-made, old-fashioned toys. Most of them are really great, with lots of character and fun. He made my mother a chicken toy that lays an egg when you turn the chicken (or something like that) because she told him a story about how jealous she was of her sister for having a toy like that when they were kids. It takes him a bit of time to do the research, get the ideas nailed down, make the toy and then paint it. But it is totally worth it because when he's done, it's usually got a lot of personality--just like Dave!
Dave, thanks for all you do at the store. We couldn't keep the doors open without you!
With love,
Linda
