I returned here to bring my granddaughter to make a bracelet with the beautiful gems. She had so…read moremuch fun picking out beads and then assembled a bracelet. There are many selections and every color you can imagine of beads and other pieces. The quality and price are great and the staff helped us with securing the bracelet with a clasp.

This is such a beautiful shop! I instantly felt more relaxed walking in. The shopkeeper was…read moreincredibly gracious and must've thanked us for coming in at least 3x. We ended up purchasing a few small crystals and some bead strands. I found the prices to be very reasonable! The selection is astounding! If you're a crystal person, you'll absolutely love looking at all the beautiful options here. She also has a huge selection of crystal beads (actually crystals, not like Swarovski crystals, though she might have some of those in the bead room). She teaches classes, too, but it's a bit too far for me to drive. Would love to take them! We'll absolutely be back! Random observation: There are a bunch of 1 star reviews for this shop, all for the same reason of the store hours differing from the website. All of the reviews are from Yelpers with only one review, which I find highly suspicious. Pay them no mind, this is a wonderful crystal and bead shop that you shouldn't pass up!

Have driven past this place countless times and have always been intrigued by the eclectic nature I…read morecould see. Today, finally while driving past u saw that the open sign was on so I decided to make a quick stop and check it out. While I had a sort of strange and short experience I'll start with what I saw. Full of trinkets and a variety of items, it seems like a fantastic little spot to explore. The interior was not large, a small little shop likely food for a handful of people at a time, packed with things ranging from fun dishes, records, clothing, and random knickknacks. There was a little library outside along with larger pieces like statues and even some art pieces inside. Now I would love to go back and properly explore, get a better gauge of the pricing as well, but the reason I said "seems" earlier is that when I arrived, the lights were on, open sign was on, door was open. I walked in and there was some radio playing. But not a single person in sight, mind you it's a small space. I said "hello" a few times, stood there in plain view in case anybody walked out (last thing I wanted was to spook somebody on accident being behind a shelf or anything), and heard no response. I stood there a couple minutes, just looking around, but was a tad uncomfortable, not due to the place just the situation, and thus decided to leave and come back another time to more properly explore this space that seemed like a blend of an antique store and a child's playhouse. At least I now know their hours so I'll try again soon!

The prints and the art intrigued me for some reason. There was something very personal about the images that were captured on the canvas.

I was especially intrigued by what looked like hard carved pieces, but ran out of time before I could ask about them. But now I have another reason to go back. It's worth a trip.
