Hi! I’m so excited you’re here — not just to shop, but to be part of something bigger. This little shop was created for someone very special: my mom. She’s a proud carioca, born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. From the beaches to the rhythm of samba, her roots run deep — and she’s raised me the true carioca way: with joy, creativity, and big, bold dreams. One dream she’s carried her whole life? To open a café. A warm, colorful space where she could bring a taste of Brazil to our little town in Pennsylvania — coffee, pão de queijo, live music, and good company. But dreams like that need funding. And she’s been told, more than once, that it's too big, too late, too impossible. That she’d never get the money. That it’s just not realistic. I disagree. So, I started this shop to help her get there — one crochet piece at a time. She makes the cutest, most detailed little creations: hats, keychains, plushies, coasters, you name it. Every single stitch carries her love and pride — for Brazil, for beauty, and for the life she’s building here. She’s also open to custom commissions and loves bringing other people’s ideas to life. Whether it’s a gift, a keepsake, or something cozy for yourself — you’re supporting more than just a small business. You’re cheering on a woman who’s still chasing her dream. Thanks for being here. Every penny counts toward her café dream — and every sale sends the message that you’re never too old to dream big. With love, Lallie
