a weekend of cozy chaos, local love, and the sweetest homecoming
After the wild, messy, magical adventure of reopening our doors this week, rolling right into Small Business Saturday feels a little like fate. Our space is fresh, bright, and buzzing again. The espresso machine is humming, the play space is full of happy little humans, and our shelves are stocked to the brim. It feels good to be home… and it feels even better to welcome you back into it.
And now? It’s officially one of our favorite weekends of the whole year.
Small Business Saturday is here, and we put everything we’ve got into making it feel joyful, thoughtful, and so very “Little Village.” If you’ve seen our Instagram carousel, you know the vibe: warm, playful, community-first, with perks and surprises tucked into every corner.
what’s happening this weekend
We went big with this one:
-
free mystery grab bags for the first 100 shoppers who spend $100+ in the Little Marketplace on Saturday
-
buy 3 Little Learners classes, get 1 free — a perfect way to stock up for winter. (btw, winter 2026 classes are live! this deal applies to classes now thru April!)
-
bonus swag money when you join or renew a membership ($10, $25, or $50 depending on tier)
-
free Early Readers lunches for families who sign up for the full winter semester
-
cozy seasonal sips — including our Cranberry & Cava cocktail for those who want to shop with a little sparkle
It’s the kind of weekend made for wandering with a latte in one hand and your favorite people in the other.

why this weekend matters
Small Business Saturday is special every year… but this one hits differently.
After weeks of repairs, reimagining, and rebuilding, being able to open our doors and celebrate the small businesses we love feels like the sweetest full-circle moment. This community wrapped around us when we needed it most, and now we get to pour that love right back into each other.
So come by. Linger. Browse. Sip something warm. Pick up gifts that tell a story. Let your kids run off some energy while you wander the shelves. Make it a whole moment.
We’re here, the lights are on, and your village is ready for you.
Happy Small Business Saturday, friends. We’re so grateful you’re part of ours.
