What a gem! We snuck in at the wire here with about 40 minutes to closing on Saturday last weekend…read morewhile exploring the Hilton Village area of Newport News. The owner inside was friendly and said come on in and take your time. She explained that they had different rooms inside and all were rented out to different vendors who had their own style and items for sale. WIN! Just my kind of shop. This shop is much larger than expected with something like 10 rooms inside and they all do have a very different feel. We found antiques, glasswares, books, stuffed animals, watercolor art, wall art, furniture, jewelry, beads, geodes, you name it, it's probably in here. We actually stayed for the entire 40 minutes and everyone found something to purchase. The vibe was easy and unassuming and the owner left us to browse without hovering at all. She easily said to go upstairs and take a look as there were some rooms up there too and she stayed at the front while we browsed. The side right off the main entry has a space where she said during summer she serves Lolly's ice cream flavors from the VAB area (noms). I saw easily like a dozen things I could've purchased but I'm trying to make better choices so I abstained, but if they're there when I come back to run a race in two weeks I'll call it fate and probably get them, ha! If you are in this area and looking for gifts and decor and love to antique, poke your head in here and give this spot a try for sure. It looks almost like a plant store from the outside as the front has a grown-up secret garden look.

Such a neat shop!…read more Basically people rent out sections in this little house to showcase their products. It's all local and items are either handmade or vintage. It was really awesome going into each room of the house and seeing what products there were being offered. There were pillows, decor, clothing, vintage items of all kinds, vinyl records, jewelry, etc. I guess you could say it's kind of like a flea market in a sense. Definitely a great place for unique finds or gifts!

The selection of goodies range from freeze dried candies to herbs, stones, books, incense, altar items, tarot cards, and more. The witchy vibe is very strong. Need cat whiskers for some spell work? They've got them! And new things are stocked on the shelves all the time. It's never the same store twice. It's magical. Everyone who works there is friendly and helpful. The only "down" side is that it's just too small. I wish it was twice the size. It can get very crowded in there - especially on weekends and during special events like Pride, or the monthly full moon markets. I never seem to leave empty-handed when I visit the shop. Looking for a unique gift or hard to find magical things? Look no further. Styx and Stones has got it!

Well, this is the wifey sharing her experience on the hubby's Yelp…read more I've been shopping here for several years now. Maybe twice or three times a year. Over these years I have often found great deals. Several times I've come here due to having a fancy upcoming event and not wanting to pay full retail at one of the higher-end department stores. Often I find what I need. Not every time but often. I found that all the items were in good shape, so I assume when the staff intake items they weren't taking in junk. As for service and staff. They have always been helpful. I have seen them have 3 or 4 folks at the register and the line takes a bit but that's just how it is. Now I have never consigned with them so I can not share that experience. So if you looking for great items and not looking to spend a small fortune - come here and give this place a look.

My boyfriend and his daughter love to antique and thrift so I knew we were going into this shop…read morewhen we saw it while shopping in Hilton Village last weekend. They have a large back room as well as a few items in the front and two smaller rooms off the back with dresses, shoes, and blazers and jackets. There were some great deals to be had here on name-brand items and we had a good time looking through the wares. I used the fitting room and spoke to the ladies up front for a while and everyone was helpful and friendly. There are not any men's items inside so we didn't look for a terribly long time bc my boyfriend couldn't find anything for him. There are gems to be found - but it's all used clothes and accessories so you need to know before you go.

At the very least you'll get a wonderful conversation. Mr. Brill is also an appraiser, so if you need something appraised, this is the place to go!

I have been going to them for years and the special events they put on at the selden market are superb. Full Moon Markets at selden market and Practical Magic Markets at other local businesses. I even remember them putting on fun workshops. The vibe is witchy but so cool. The owner and customer service is top notch like a long lost friend where you just pick up where you left off last time you spoke to them. They carry speciality stones, incense, tarrot cards, art and more. I love supporting local and the artists. I love little witchy shop in Norfolk. This place is what makes Norfolk great. This past weekend they celebrated 8 years wow what an accomplishment. It was a celebration with sweet treats, readings, and friendly hospitality. The value you of this shop is priceless in my opinion. When I think of Norfolk I think of velvet witch and them being a staple here. Congrats again on 8 years Velvet Witch!
