Visit Paris. Finish that novel. Learn to play the guitar. Remember when a discussion of dreams didn’t include monsters and princesses?
Erinn Berkson does. She wrote them down with a Sharpie so she wouldn’t forget. Write short stories. Have an art show. Open a store. Lucky for us that last one came true in the form of beloved Venice boutique Firefly. When she had a baby and a space opened up down the street, her second shop, Kid Firefly, was born.
The stunning store takes Berkson’s eclectic eye and knack for style and applies it to items for the under-6 crowd — toys, clothes, and accessories both beautiful and useful. Modern baby favorites (Blabla, Ferm Living, Kit+Lili) snuggle up alongside legendary local brands (Anthem of the Ants, Dr. Robins) to create a fantasy baby bazaar of sweetness and charm.
It’s a dream come true.
Kid Firefly, 1405 Abbot Kinney Boulevard, at California Avenue, Venice (310-450-6283 or kidfirefly.com).
