The Happy Journey
A whimsical boutique children’s shoppe filled with toys, books, and educational games!
Location:

Boston MA 02114

Hi I’m Lindsay Perrelli and I own The Happy Journey toy shoppe in Beacon Hill, named after my children’s book, The Happy Journey. Prior to this I worked as a teacher at Boston Children’s hospital where I taught bedside patients who were too sick to go to school on units such as oncology and cardiology. This inspired me to “seize the day” since I realized how fragile life is, and so I wrote my children’s book called, “The Happy Journey,” about a turtle who learns that happiness comes from within, and then shortly after, decided to carry out my dream of having a toy store on Charles Street!
A nostalgic, old-school feel (as if the clock stopped) is what I hope customers feel when they are in my shoppe, and the classics – Madeline, Paddington, The Little Prince, Eloise, Courdoury, Curious George etc… are the heart and soul of my shoppe. I carry mainly wooden toys from all around the world, but most are from England and France. I’m passionate about stocking my shoppe with timeless and quality toys and trinkets and love getting to know my little customers. I have a little playroom in the back of my shoppe for all of my tiny customers to play, color and read!
Eliane is very passionate about esthetics and gives her all to make sure the client leaves happy. She decided to open Le Svelte Spa to make people feel their best not just with their skin but relaxes too. She will be bringing a luxury Brazilian flavor and innovation with her magic hands doing lymphatic Drainage massages, HydraFacial, customized Facial and relaxing massage. She is highly skilled and knowledgeable. One of her favorite things about this job is being part of her clients lives by listening to them and giving good advice.

Currently delivering charcuterie platters and boxes to Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, and Somerville.
The seeds for Gilli Rozynek’s company, Kured, were planted when she studied abroad in Madrid, Spain during her time at Boston College. While there, she learned a lot about the charcuterie landscape because it’s so ingrained in European culture.
Of everything she learned, the biggest take away was the behind-the-scenes of what the product could facilitate: bringing people together and powering real conversation. She fell in love with this relationship-focused culture.
When the pandemic struck and Gilli was sent home, she spent the summer of 2020 participating in BC’s summer accelerator program, where she launched Kured as an e-comm/delivery startup. She realized fairly quickly the pain points of the industry: the cost of money and time in buying and building her boards. She felt there was an easier way to execute…to make charcuterie more accessible to people.
That’s where she saw the scalable opportunity – to bring quick-service to charcuterie…to launch the “Sweetgreen for charcuterie,” – and power conversation along the way.
Co-founder Morgan Biles joined the Kured team in June of 2021, helping to open the doors to the store after graduating from Boston College in the class of 2021. Morgan has gone on to head the company’s marketing, social media and partnership efforts.
She is also inspired by the way that charcuterie can facilitate conversation and bring people together offline (and online – shoutout tiktok).

Rugg Road Paper Co.
http://www.ruggroadpaper.com/
I have been a part of the Beacon Hill community for many years and it is where I chose to raise my daughter, Maureen. As Maureen entered middle school I began looking for my next career opportunity. That is when the chance to take over Rugg Road presented itself. Many of my customers are also my neighbors which has made the experience even more enjoyable.
Rugg Road Paper Co., began over 30 years ago with a love for bespoke designs and a dedication to excellent, personalized service. Our independently owned Charles Street shop continues to provide the community with tangible, handmade pieces designed with care. Today, we have expanded the shop and our services so that we can offer a wide selection of unique gifts, specialty papers, stationery, cards and invitations.

Covet

We are a contemporary women’s consignment shop located in the heart of South Boston and Beacon Hill. Whether you’re looking for a high-end bag or something affordable and chic, we have it all!
109 Charles Street
Boston, MA 02114
Before I opened Covet in 2013, I didn’t know what to expect. My background was in laboratory science, and aside from an eBay selling “side hustle” and a 6-month stint at a local consignment chain, I had no clue how to run a business. Let alone a consignment store.
But I wanted to try…
And I wanted to create something different. A store I would personally love to shop in. A beautiful, clean, welcoming space filled with cool, on-trend merchandise and prices I could actually afford. A store with staff that was warm, welcoming and committed to our customers… and a business model that wasn’t so detrimental to the environment, the way fashion often is.
And that’s just what we’ve created…
I take pride in what Covet has become – a neighborhood shop where locals and visitors alike can come and enjoy the “thrill of the hunt”. In our 5+ years in business, we’ve grown tremendously. First, our move in 2017 when we moved next door and tripled the size of the space. And then in 2019, opening our second sister store in Beacon Hill on Charles Street.
And who knows where we’ll go next…
While the business has changed quite a bit from when we first opened our doors, our commitment to our customers has not. They are our first and last priority. No matter how much we grow, that will never change.
I am very much an active owner – on most days you can find me at one of the 2 stores. Please contact me directly if you have any suggestions or comments on how we can continue to make Covet the best place in Boston to shop and consign. Thank you for taking an interest in our store.
