The prices are reasonable and it's just such a calming atmosphere. I will sure be here again. Thank you!

You're initially…read moregreeted with the warmest welcome, and yet, you aren't followed around by an associate forcing you to shop for something in particular. I was able to browse! Incredible stuff - seriously. With my comfort level at an all time high, I found a number of pieces that I was captivated by. The mystic collection is definitely where I categorize myself. It's very sleek, timeless, and classy. So, I asked to see a few pieces (because I wanted to try EVERYTHING on - but I paced myself), and found out that the sterling silver comes from Peru. The details are stunning. The types of stone that some of the jewelry incorporates was foreign to me - think Amazonite, Serpentine, etc. - which added an additional element to the uniqueness of Achiq. I absolutely adore this little shop and all of the jewelry I went home with. Thanks again everyone at Achiq!

We were making our way through West Hartford when we stumbled across the River Bend Bookshop and just had to check it out. This shop is super cool looking because it's basically just inside of a small apartment. The shop itself has a cozy New England vibe and has a small to large section of pretty much every genre. Sadly, the horror section seems to be one of the smaller sections but hey, I don't live here, so clearly they know what their customers are looking for. Near the cash registers they have a nice selection of merch for the shop (sadly, no River Bend Bookshop Magnet) and a cool section dedicated to local authors and stuff like that. Overall, River Bend Bookshop is a super nice little book shop for the area and definitely a place worth checking out. Sadly, I didn't make a purchase on this trip because I can only fly back to LA with so much stuff, but I very much enjoyed checking this place out.

On a telephone pole, I saw what looked like an advertisement for a carnival, but it was for a new store called Weirdo Wonderland. It said it was a store dedicated to all things strange and unusual. I've been obsessed with horror and sci-fi films my whole life, so it sounded like it was right up my alley. I eventually popped in on a Saturday afternoon. I was stunned when I walked in. Lots and lots of horror and sci-fi collectibles. Tons of old movie posters and art prints. Various props, masks, old toys, plastic model kits, comics, and even old issues of "Famous Monsters of Filmland". The owner was very personable too. I'll definitely be popping in again to check out their collection of creepy chachkies.
