I purchased quite a few crystals, an energy clearing spray, oil, bath salts, and soap. I love all of my products and have been using them daily. The prices are very reasonable as well. I am a yoga teacher and have been bringing my spray to class and all my students love it! Nicole and Norma are incredibly welcoming and so very helpful!! You must go visit! Ethereal is about an hour from my home but it is definitely worth the drive!! Nicole has also changed my life forever and is a Godsend!!

This is a good store, but not for what I was seeking. I came here on my way back home from being…read moreout of town and shops that fall into the fair trade, new age, lapidary, and that sort of ilk tend to have the sterling gemstone jewelry that I wear. This one didn't have much in the way of that, so not really much for me. But did have many other things. They have a lot of religious stuff for pagan followers and folks interested in metaphysical or occult practices. You'll find lots of herbs, athames, gemstones, books, tarot cards, pendulums, and so on. It's quite a large shop, too; two rooms and lots of space. They do tarot readings here as well. When I came here during the weekend, they were offering various services like tarot, and I think palmistry and astrological readings. I did take a look at their tarot decks because I like ones with interesting art and collect several, but they had mostly standard decks you'll find at similar shops; nothing really new or interesting for me. If you're not familiar with Elgin, you'll need to rely on GPS; this shop is on a frontage road near Judson and in an you have to get to it in a somewhat odd way, so using a digital map will probably be your best bet. Obviously I do not know the owner(s) background... so I'm reserving judgment on the use of the exonym for Romani people in the name of the shop.

There are clearly products made by independent companies or family-owned businesses, many by kids themselves. The toy store is also operated and owned by the nicest, kindest people you can meet. They love asking questions and recommending different products based on what you share. Lastly, the prices are on average higher than your big box stores, but for me it's worth it to support a local business that supports small businesses as well. It's worth the cost to get such great service and great products.

It's a bit of a drive for me since I'm in schaumburg but I'm happy to make it. If it were any closer, I'd be spending all of my money there :)

I asked if I could take some pictures for Yelp and she was very gracious. There are a bunch of great gift choices and I really like supporting a local business that also supports local makers. I saw plenty of things I'd like for myself but was on a holiday gift mission so trying to stay focused, but that was tough at this store. Temptation abounded! I really want to come back for some of the workshops. The proprietor showed me some really pretty shell dishes she made and I'd like to try that myself. I recommend that everyone come and check it out.

It's a paint studio where you can paint boards and decor for birthday parties, events, etc., and it's a little home decor shop in the back, as well. It's an intimate space, and the employee here was SO personable, easy to talk to, helpful, and funny! She answered any and all questions we had and was very knowledgeable about their products and services. They seriously have the cutest home decor and little trinkets, candles, jewelry, etc. When I came in, they had some fall stuff out already, and I 100% will be back once their whole fall line comes out. The merchandise that they sell, I haven't seen at other stores! Definitely a very unique and original shop. Products here were all reasonably priced, as well. They have limited hours (11-5) six days out of the week, I believe, so definitely check before coming to Brush. Overall, I will definitely be back at this dainty local shop!

And note their prices are incredibly fair I saw that stone and had to look it up and for the size it was less expensive than most of the places I saw online! To the owners: I would love to see more raw cluster stones haha
