Toots & Magoo is a wonderful arts and antiques store on Franklin Street in downtown Chapel Hill. When it came time to develop an online presence, they turned to a wonderful design company headquartered near downtown Chapel Hill, Sprocket House.

To realize the artistic goals of the project, I turned to Spree, an excellent open-source ecommerce platform built on Rails. Spree provided a solid, stable ecommerce core upon which I was able to build a number of custom features—blog, gift wrap, organizational sections/categories, and search powered by Sphinx.

If you’re in the market for art, antiques, or just looking for that perfect, unique gift for your special someone, don’t waste another second—check out the new site or stop by the store at 142 E. Franklin St (and be sure to tell them Chris sent you).
