Intentions change.

Isn’t it strange how intentions change? I recently popped into a shop that had been suggested to me as a place where I might get a piece of Malachite as I was away from home and had forgotten the one I always hold when I’m sleeping, as it helps me sleep better and have clearer dreams. Anyway, a good while later I leave, but not with the Malachite!, instead I leave with a beautiful Silver filigree pendulum with 7 interchangeable crystal ‘sugar loafs’ and feeling a millions times happier than when I went in.

 

It has to be said I wouldn’t have noticed the shop if I hadn’t been sent by a friend with local knowledge but I’m glad she sent me, the owners where so friendly and welcoming that I felt like I’d been going there for years (Ooo, déjà-vu - shades of Crystal Moon in Goring looming up – actually the first thing I noticed was the Wildwood Tarot deck I bought there!) and really wouldn’t have left if I’d not been on such a  tight schedule. Craft Crazy  is a bit Tardishish (new word and I’m keepin’ it!) as, when seen form the outside it looks like a small craft/gift shop sitting beside a small tattoo parlour, but when you go in it’s actually this big, bright New Age gift shop with a tattoo parlour behind the counter.

 

 

So, what started out as a quick pop into a shop to find a piece of tumbled Malachite to help me sleep, turned into a little voyage of discovery, the acquisition of a beautiful piece of divination equipment and a reminder not to ‘judge a book by it’s cover’ confirming very firmly that intentions' can so easily be changed and I will definitely be going there again when I am next in the Fareham area.
