Meet The Wonderland Team!
Leanna Lin's Wonderland opened up shop in August, 2010 and has been in business ever since– for 16 years! We are constantly changing with the times, always trying to keep things fun, fresh, and relevant. Wonderland is a small team (we wear many hats) and consider each other family.
