Just found this little gem on my walk home. Thanks Janet and Jonathon for your friendly chat. Loved hearing about your story and seeing your shop. Very welcoming place with lots of knowledge and unique bits. I am excited to burn my winter solstice candle and see in the new year with it too. Left feeling in great spirits. See you soon! Daisy

What a delightful shop, so sad it's closing down. Can vaguely recall their shop in the Piece Hall many moons ago. I purchased a delightful pair of butterfly earrings and wore them immediately. The owner was very chatty, charming and helpful. Next time I go in I'll get a nose ring!

I had a very pleasant experience shopping here. The owners are lovely and we're intrigued about us and where we were from. They proceeded to talk to us about their area and any tidbits of relevant crystal/geology information from where I lived. They were so enthusiastic and even recommended other shops to go to in the area, as well as visiting The Piece Hall. I'm sure the old gent would've given us a personalised tour of the whole of Halifax if he could! Thank you for making our experience so excellent!

A delightful little shop that we found when we arrived in Halifax for a day trip.If you are looking for "interesting" than this is it. Asked about a place for lunch and Janet highly suggested LaLuna. It was delicious. The shop has artifacts for a wide range life's interests. Although they are not located in the Piece Hall they have a more inspirational shop. Check them out as they are just up the road from the train station.

Stunning array of products. Crystals, wicca, witchcraft, philosophy, sculptures, Shamanism and much more. The owners do actually know their stuff. They are very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended.
