But it&#8217;s so much more! Great staff, a wonderful selection of merchandise and a truly beautiful environment that makes you feel right at home. I bought a bunch of stuff for my kids, found some cute postcards and browsed like a champ. I was VERY impressed by your post about the store &#8212; and Carmody &amp; Co. met all my expectations. Whenever I&#8217;m shopping in Pasadena, Carmody &amp; Co. is now on my list of must-see destinations.
