Carmen. . . there has been so much reminiscing. . . so many tears. . . laughs. . . hugs. . . memories . . . I miss you friend. . . Sister. 🥺🥹

Y’all are some wild, miniature-lovin’, play-hungry people — and we LOVE it! 🤣💜

We’re so grateful for everyone who stopped by the Serendipity booth this week — for every hug, story, photo with Little Little Carmen, and for those who picked up a Carmen pin or her two memorial miniatures. 💫

And guess what… we met the goal I set. 🙌💜
You’re not gonna believe this — so go ahead and hit play to find out how much we’re donating to Carmen’s Memorial Scholarship Fund! 🎉💜

When play people find each other, the joy just multiplies! 💜✨

Loved having the wonderful Tammi Van Hollander stop by the Serendipity booth yesterday — her energy, passion, and playfulness light up every room she’s in!

Connections like these are what make conference week so special. 💫

💜 Rise and shine, APT friends — it’s the last full day to shop! 💜

The Maternity Bundle has officially hit the table 🌸 and this morning we’re adding brand new diversity minis that we know will make our girl Carmen proud. 🪄

Favorites are flying, shelves are shifting, and there’s still a little time to snag that one piece you’ve had your eye on before it’s gone!

Four in purple 💜 one in black 🖤 — but all five of us were wearing Little Carmen today.

For those who don’t know, Little Carmen is the miniature version of our dear friend Carmen Jimenez-Pride LCSW, whose legacy continues to shine so brightly in the worlds of play and sandtray. 💫

Wearing these shirts isn’t just about color — it’s about carrying her light, her laughter, her fierce love for community, and her endless belief in giving back. She’s here in every story shared, every connection made, and every bit of play we bring into this space.

We’re proud to represent her and to continue her mission of supporting others — through the scholarship fund, her minis, and her beautiful spirit woven into all we do. 💜
