This is not a new store but as a moderator I received an email to receive a free catalog so I thought I would pass this along to anyone who might be interested. They have a wide selection of products. They are a Christian based store and you might want to read their mission statement in the About Us section if your family is not comfortable with purchasing from companies that do not share your beliefs. They are also sending me some catalogs which will go into the freebie box at the conference in August. --Tabbi


""The store first opened in 1998, founded by Jim and Robyn Bailey. The Baileys homeschool their two children, Wyatt (15) and Avery (13). Besides working a lot, they are members of World Harvest Church in Roswell, GA. In their spare time, they enjoy hiking trips to the north Georgia mountains and trips to the beach. The photo on the right was taken in Times Square, New York in February, 2005, where they attended the annual Toy Fair in search of cool new products to add to the website.

The business started in their home and quickly grew until it took over nearly every room in the house. In June, 2001, the business was moved into a 5,000 square foot warehouse, but that space was outgrown almost immediately. The business was then moved into a 10,000 square foot office-warehouse in May, 2002. In July, 2005, the warehouse space was expanded to 15,000 square feet.

Today the business continues to grow with a product selection that now includes thousands of items and more added every week. http://www.learningthings.com/
