When I was growing up the 5 & Dime (Newberry's) had lots of stuff including goldfish, lipstick, tea towels, underwear and socks, and a luncheon counter. The novelty shop had more gift type items.
Thank you, Kate! In our neighborhood, there was the Little Emporium…Yes, a bit of everything! Loved this. Thanks for the cartoons…So reminiscent!! Best, Toni
I remember!!
I loved Novelty Stores -- a bit of everything in them. What a cute cartoon.
I remember, too! ♥️
That was simply delightful. The musical choices grand. Thanks for the weekly diversion. I know I need it.
Yes! I’m of an age! 😆
Was a novelty shop the same as a 5 & Dime?
