This little gem is really tucked away, right in the heart of Hampden. Seriously, if you don't know where ur going, you will NEVER find it. It's ironic bc of the mysticism behind the shop itself, it's pretty funny that it's hard to find (maybe that was intentional... who knows? But I love that it is).
My advice. Call ahead if it's ur first time so u know exactly where to go. Not knowing what to expect, I am happy to report that this 'hidden' shop surpassed my expectations. Truly.
Very friendly staff. Kaitlyn (sp?) was a fountain of knowledge. I went in for smudging stick. I figured there might be a container with smudge sticks in them. This is not that kind of place. This place is ready to offer choices. There had to be 10 to 15 different choices of smudging bunches to choose from.
Of course this threw me for a complete loop and I was immediately overwhelmed. When asked what I was intending to do with the smudge stick, I was guided to a 'white sage and eucalyptus' bunching. She explained why that would be best best, for my needs, and was very satisfied with her explanation. Thank goodness ... because if I had to choose one, right then, I would've turned around and walked out the door (can anyone say visual overload?).
