I went there unaware of their hours, and unfortunately when I got there they were only open for…read moreanother fifteen minutes, which sucks because I didn't have time to walk around and find other cool stuff, but I have over two more months to come back and do more shopping, I'm sure I'll have another chance. I got what I came here for! Last year I got one of these journals, and I don't know what happened to it... if it was stolen, if someone hid it as a cruel joke? I don't know why or by whom, but I've searched my entire room multiple times, I've had other people search, I've searched the living room, I've searched the guest room, if for some reason I was writing in there.... Nothing. It's just gone. This journal is important because I would write to a deceased loved one in it, and to have it taken from me by unknown means was very upsetting! I tried other journals but it feels like reading a book before you finish another one. I need to finish this journal before I go to another journal. So when a friend of mine who was working at this Spirit Halloween had texted me that they had stocked them again this year, I was very pleased about that, and that is the reason I went to the store today, and what I was hoping to acquire, and what I did indeed, acquire. With its beautiful silver lining on the paper edges, each page adorned with filigree and a skull in the outer corner to accent. It's black script on the back so faded look like the lost writings of a madman, and a removable sticker stating the price as $14.99, and for some absurd reason, recommending it for ages 14+, the front is imprinted with THE ARCANE BOOK OF SHADOWS and a glyph with symbols that I can't quite describe, and an animal skull with a pentagram on it. The bottom lets you know this is a journal, and not a actually a book of shadows I'll be quite pleased to return to the store when it's of hours, and I can view more of their merchandise. I would love to peruse some tshirts and throw blankets. Although a quick scan tells me nothing is too new from last year, the Halloween store is always lovely, isn't it? A seasonal treasure. Besides, aren't all of our fishnets a little worn out by now???

But that is ok, I usually add a little sugar to my strawberries to bring out the juice in them. They have two stores connected with fruits, veggies, snacks, baked goods, fudge and gifts.

I contacted GG because we were replacing an original single pane window on our Queen Anne Victorian and I was looking for something with a little...color. Boy did they deliver! Not only did they help us with finding some traditional styles, they also spent a ridiculous amount of time picking out glass with us that matches the other original stained glass in our home. They even worked with me when I wanted to combine a few different ideas into my "vision". It took awhile for them to finish the window, but it was worth the wait. We just had it installed and I am amazed at how majestic it looks. It's such high quality and the craftsmanship, dear lord. Mind you, it wasn't cheap, but God was it worth every penny!

Each class, I would leaving having spent more money. I was upset about these hidden fees, and it should be mentioned when signing up for the class.
