Honey’s Gift
    Behind all the pretty earrings and unusual items at the Tom Thumb Shoppe is the personality of the shopkeeper, Honey Birkenruth. As sweet as her name, Honey has been stocking the Tom Thumb Shoppe with little treasures since MCNR opened in 1993.
    A lover of travel with a passport stamped all over the world, Honey has an eye for things that are different. She grew up in New London where her father owned a men’s clothing and dry goods store. She helped out in the store during her childhood, and now manages her own not-for-profit gift shop at MCNR.
    Honey wanted to make the shop a cheerful destination for patients and visitors. She has certainly succeeded. Whether searching for a fun birthday card or a lovely decorative vase, the Tom Thumb Shoppe is the place to browse. Some of her finds are new, others come from vintage shops, and a few are donated.
    Next time you are visiting MCNR, be sure to stop by the Tom Thumb Shoppe!
