My mom and I took an impromptu trip up to Boone for a day adventure and this was one of our first…read morestops. This type of store does not appeal to everyone, I understand that. But this type of store is exactly what you want to see when you go to Boone...it's on that hippie dippy crunchy earthy patchouli juju crystals and charms and voodoo tip, and it is so much fun. They've got jewelry and books and charms and handmade things and instruments and tarot cards and art and clothing and I love it all. I was specifically looking for gifts to bring back home for my little girls and found the perfect things. There is a section by the cash register that had dozens of handmade necklaces, all with various crystals and coins from around the world. I found two of the sparkliest, Dark Crystalliest ones and decided to go with those. The fun part was, there was a sign next to these necklaces that told a little story about the family that makes them, and explains that they do not price anything, and will accept anything that the buyer decides is fair. That is super cool, and a great way to get karma flowing heavy. I make jewelry regularly, so I know the cost of supplies, and can fairly accurately gauge the amount of time put into pieces. I decided $20.00 was fair for what I chose. I also purchased a bar of lemongrass soap, handmade from a Boone local. This is some of the strongest smelling lemongrass soap I've ever smelled, and I've already showered with it and am kicking myself for not getting more. Once I made the purchases, the lady at the checkout seemed thrilled, rang me up, and before I left said, "Wait! You and your girls need the angels...here..." as she poured a handful of silver, glittering angel confetti into my hand. What a lovely human.

I guess so - I'm getting old - was in a bar the other day and the bee-bopping 20 something's didn't even know who Chrissie Hynde and Ray Davies were - whaaaaattt?) Anyway, we found the gopher from Caddyshack - sings "I'm All Right". Good condition - only $10. We also found a Barbie vintage camper from 1970 - also in good condition and $10. My nine year old daughter was tickled pink! The guy working here is a hoot. He rides a unicycle around in the store and he knows his retro toys. Lots of fun to talk to on a rainy Saturday afternoon. I couldn't take my eyes of the Laverne and Shirley board game. Always thought Shirley was cute growing up - didn't realize that she had a bowl cut and she was pretty plain jane. Maybe I'm confusing Shirley with Carmine. Now he was something! Although I saw a mug shot of him recently and it was right out of the Nick Nolte and Gary Busey vein - wha'happened to Carmine?? Cash only. Check this place out!

They were fairly busy, so we sat at the counter. What it was- was a genuine lunch counter that's probably been around for 60+ years. What it wasn't ; was a highly efficient high volume re-enactment of a lunch counter. We sat at a clean - but by God genuine formica counter (probably manufactured when Hoover was president) . Service was friendly and the staff was exceedingly nice and helpful. They did forget my bacon- but didn't charge me for it ( waitress must have not heard me). She may have been overwhelmed by my dashing good looks. It happens. Lol . They made up for it with a great omelette for me, and a plate of French toast that deserved their own website for my wife. I got the " bonus" of introducing the Canadian tourist couple who sat next to us to the wonder of Southern Sausage gravy and biscuits . Which, IMO, is the reason god created crestor. The single cook did a phenomenal job given The limited cooking resources and holiday weekend level of crowd by the time we left. We'll go again for sure!
