In downtown Palm Springs, there is a very special place called Crystal Fantasy. I have no real-world connection to this store, but I actually do, on some level that I cannot explain. I've never questioned these sort of things in my life. I just go with the ebb and flow of life's tides. And so out of the blue comes this post today. I probably should have first called Joy, the owner to ask if she wouldn't mind me writing about her store, so I'll have to apologize for being presumptuous the next time I drop in. Rather than me try to describe Crystal Fantasy, I thought I'd use Joy's words, directly from her website:"Our mission is to spiritually uplift our community, and work towards a greater good. We help those seeking spiritual healing and enlightenment find the path that will lead them to a higher power. We support our fellow man and community and hope to serve as a guiding light. " Sound like a place you'd like to know better? Well, read on...
Crystal Fantasy is a fun store to visit and browse for a spell. They sell all sorts of magical things, including: fairies, mermaids, wizards and dragons, candles, incense, jewelry, ethnic and relaxation music, books on world cultures and spirituality, greeting cards, as well as minerals and crystals from around the world. She has an impressive array of fantasy art by artists such as Amy Brown, Karen Bagnard, Melody Pena, Pat Kwake, Josephine Wall, Jessica Galbreth, and others. It is one of those stores where you can easily get lost within its treasures!
Aside from all that fun stuff, Crystal Fantasy hosts all sorts of in-store events, readings, spiritual advisers, etc. This year is the 2nd Annual Palm Springs Body Mind Spirit Celebration. Billed as "a life changing weekend of inspiration and enlightenment" it is an event not to be missed. If you ever needed a reason to plan a weekend in Palm Springs, this would be it. Our weather in October is most pleasant, and most of the tourists/snowbirds have not returned yet, so it is a perfect time to visit the desert. Here is the schedule of events:
