{ First Friday Art Walk and Block Party }

It's that time again - First Friday Art Walk is happening this Friday, June 5th and HOO BOY is it going to be a good one! Skeleton Key Tarot will be in the shop doing fabulous mini-readings from 6:00-9:00 pm and we will be burning the midnight oil with extended shop hours, refreshments and new treasure for all of you! Oh, and did we mention that Mildred's Coffeehouse is having their summer block party for the Crossroads on Friday?

Forget all of your preconceived notions about chains because this Friday things will be off them. IT'S ON, Y'ALL!!! 

( Pssst - our good friend and neighbor, Fraction Gallery,  is exhibiting a new group show, Drawing Room featuring artists Teal Wilson, Mark Traughber, Mark Galloway and Jane Almirall - come see!)

{ GIRLS RULE, APRIL DROOLS }

That was terrible. I apologize. I'm rusty - it's been a while since we've posted - but we have our reasons! We have been busy, Y'all, so busy acquiring more treasures for the shop! We went to the Gem And Mineral Show and picked up LOADS of new things: smoky quartz, phantom quartz, pyrite ammonites, trilobites, king fisher skeletons, duck skulls, shark teeth, bats, framed insects and more! Rita Brinkerhoff of Skeleton Key Tarot will be in the shop from 6-9 pm doing mini readings and our good neighbor Fraction Print Studio is debuting a new exhibition of assemblage works called Unnatural Selection! To indulge in the vernacular of today's youth, it's gonna be tight. Come say hi and have a refreshment with us!

{ Winter Solstice Bundles }

The Winter Solstice marks the shortest day of the year and subsequently, the longest night. There are festivals which celebrate this time of year all over the world - usually punctuated with a feast to kick off the Starvation Months (called such before refrigeration and canning and taco bell, when food was scarce in the winter) dating back to Neolithic times. 

To make this Winter less awful, we've made some lovely little Winter Solstice bundles for you (we were going to call them Non-demoninational-Celebratory-Wintertime-Funtime-Bundles, but it didn't quite roll off the tongue). Our bundles include Palo Santo for burning, symbolic of the yule log in your hearth; a white spell candle which brings peace, purity and spirituality and also symbolizes winter snowfall; kyanite which raises your vibration and is excellent for transitioning to a meditational state as well as deepening your intuition; abalone which represents the tides of emotion as well as change/transition; baculum, which is symbolic of prosperity (plus it makes us giggle); feathers to represent fauna and the approaching Spring; and finally two sticks of incense, lavender and chandan, because they smell pretty and we like you.

Winter is horrible.
