After over 20 years of magic, The Tiny Acorn has officially closed its doors. These past two decades have been ones filled with crafts and story times, holiday magic, the joy of gift-giving, community events, visits from friends new and old, resilience from floods and losses, childhoods transforming inside and outside this shop, uplifting local artists, and so many more joys we will cherish forever.
Thank you to those who supported the magic we wanted to bring to this community, to those who have helped us empty this shop in the past few weeks and months, and those who will continue to cherish the magic of toys, tales, and treasures.
Waterbury is magic, now and always, because of the people who make it so.
Who knows, perhaps we already have some new ideas of how we can deliver holiday magic to our community in a whole new way!
This is goodbye from The Tiny Acorn, but not goodbye from us.
