When we took our son to college orientation sometime mid-summer, I had an opportunity to stop by a store I had been wanting to visit for some time. I am so glad I did. Ewe and Eye is as enchanting inside as it is outside.
Stepping inside Ewe and Eye is like walking into a fairyland. They carry the prettiest toys from all over the world. Their life-like dolls are just the right size for swaddling. There is a full array of Paddington Bears from England and all shapes and sizes of hand crafted whimsical fairies in almost every room.
Each room has delightful surprises and a curated selection of unique toys.
Just look at this incredible Wizard of Oz collection!
Now what could be more perfect than a toy store that carries yarn?
They carry a lovely selection of yarns including Rowan, Prism and all colors and weights of Colinette, among many others. They even had yarn dolls.
Mr. Jimmy, the Owner and Toy Man Extraordinaire (really, it says so on his business card) was charming and quite knowledgable about the yarn inventory. He can also tell you about every line of toys they carry. After perusing the store and chatting with this delightful gentleman, I selected these skeins to take home with me. Just look at this chunky raspberry gorgeousness.
This ridiculously soft skein is to become a pair of socks for my husband.
If you are ever in Boerne, stop by Ewe and Eye and say hi to Mr. Jimmy.
Beautiful shop. I love the yarn dolls and your raspberry yarn is divine
Not sure what I will make with it but couldn’t resist those colors.
What a delight and I love the name, Ewe and Eye! That’s a clever one! 🙂
It is clever! I have to think about it or I’ll have the tendency to write “you and I.”
Beautiful shop, perfect for “grown up” kiddies who still love toys. Gorgeous yarns, love the ones you got! 🙂
The shop was adorable! It was fun walking around and seeing all the beautiful toys.
