I founded Revelry Toys in January of 2024 with the idea that toy stores should be hands on, community centered, and ridiculous amounts of fun for kids and adults alike. When we open in our new Woodstock home, I hope you walk in and play with cool stuff you have never seen before.

I’ve been a hardworking Christmas elf for over 20 years now. Toys are kinda my jam. I spent 15 years in retail, much of that in the toy department. After that, I was fortunate enough to spend 4 years in the cozy world of neighborhood toy stores at Marvin’s Toy Store in Crystal Lake. I learned a lot in my role working mostly in the backroom, and I attended really fun trade shows. The Marvin’s crew took me in like family, and we had great times together.

I live with my wonderful husband, Brian, and our 2 dogs, King Arthur and Sir Lancealittle, who bring immeasurable light and joy to my life.
