They definitely have a large selection, but I would like to see more products with people of darker hues on the bottles. I purchased a bracelet and decided to return. I was told I couldn't because of the spiritual nature, which makes perfect sense. Needless to say, I kept the item and purchased more. I will definitely return again.

Been getting back into jewelry making and have been overwhelmed with where to start and needing some technical guidance, so I decided to take a private class at S & A. Regan was my instructor. She was a very patient and insightful teacher who offered a wealth of knowledge, tips and tricks. I scheduled the class while I was shopping in the store and showed her a few of the items that I had an interest in learning how to make. She did I great job of listening and then tailoring a class accordingly. Once we had our session, it was very loose and she continued to structure the direction according to my whims. All while remaining very intentional. Great experience! Go check them out! Even if you're not into making anything, they have a fine selection of unique handmade jewelry for buying.

It makes for a very pleasant hour or two of strolling, sampling, and shopping! There's jewelry, bags, artwork, kids' toys and clothes, and lots of other random stuff - there's even a stand selling refurbished bikes. The Crepes At The Market guys who you probably know from Eastern Market set up shop on the street corner, and right next to them are Migue's Magnificent Mini Donuts, whose name is completely accurate. I've also seen things like cheeses, veggies, and jellies in the farmers' market area, where there's often live music blasting from a big stage. Fabulous place to enjoy Saturday sunshine!

The only sad part is that this past Saturday (Oct.30) was the last opening for the year. It's more spacious now and there appeared to be more craft vendors than in the past.

I'll be back next April. I hope you will too.
