An ode to charming, local bookstores - like the one Belle visits

A quaint, family-owed bookstore tucked behind the main road closed in our city about 15 years ago. The neighbourhood still remembers, like a black and white movie clip.

After building the Corner Bookstore I was transported back to my childhood - browsing the shelves, finding that perfect book, then spending the afternoon ogling at the pages tucked by the corner table. The details in this kit is amazing :star_struck: I mean, the typewriter is just wow. We had one growing up, we always loved using it. Sadly it was boxed during a move and misplaced. Who still has a typewriter around?

It has been a “blind date with a book” and a stroll through memory lane :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

What a beautiful memory. :yellow_heart: It’s amazing how a miniature can bring back moments we haven’t thought about in years. The Corner Bookstore really has that nostalgic charm, and I completely agree about the typewriter,it adds so much character. I don’t have one anymore either, but seeing it in this kit definitely brings back memories.
