I go there regularly now for my incense and all my teas. The customer service is also great. She has little tea samples out to taste, I was feeling overwhelmed with stress and a little anxious and Maribel helped me pick out a tea that will help with my cortisol levels and exactly what I need, I make it in the morning now and i love it. She was so helpful in finding the right tea mix for me. So many cute gifts as well for anyone and everyone. Super cute garden statues as well that you don't normally see. 10/10 recommend!

Two stars for cleanliness and friendly staff…read more Three stars off for the most important aspect of a used bookstore... price. $5 per paperback? More for hardbacks? For a book whose spine is parting? Missing pages? C'mon. Don't even bother looking at most of what they call "Vintage" books. They ask a king's ransom for them. I found paperback after paperback that was priced at over $20 each... for a book barely 50 years old and a cover price of $1.50. Outlandish. I actually performed a reality check and went to Ebay to check on 7 or 8 of those titles. In each case the books sold for much less on Ebay than Helen is asking. They most definitely need to adjust their pricing schema. It's not like they're paying rent in downtown La Jolla for goodness sake. I was originally, upon walking in, going to say their large, diverse selection is a strength. Now I understand it's simply a function of them not selling their books at a good turnover rate at all... consequently, their stock piles up. Shame.

This store is great! It's definitely one of the friendlier witchy & metaphysical shops in North…read moreCounty. I loved how open the store was, and all of the products were organized really well. I think the product curation is pretty solid and could benefit every level of witch/spiritualist. They have crystals, candles, deity statues, spell oils, herbs, and a whole ton of other witch adjacent things. I'm personally not into psychics, but they have a wide variety of people that they work with. If you're into that, I'd def suggest checking this place out and looking into the readers. A few customers were taking about how happy they were with their readings! I also dig the store's community involvement with hosting various events and workshops. The store cat, Louie, is an absolute vibe. He's so sweet and friendly! I really loved being greeted by him and the occasional run in once my partner and I started to wander around the store. He even 'blessed' some of my crystals :) The owner is also super friendly and knowledgable! This place is a definite stop if you're into crystals and witchy stuff. Parking is a little annoying, but that's downtown Escondido for you lmao. I like to park a few blocks away and walk over, as the store is def worth it!

Great shop. Has everything you can think of with homemade teas…read more The readings are pretty amazing as well. It's a little hard getting in touch with them but worth it once you do.

The first impression I had when walking into the shop was, man, what a mess. There's just random…read morestuff all over the place, and what are obviously customer pieces sitting on the floor. Interesting. But, the other reviews said what an awesome job they did, so I figured that I'd let that influence me more than the mess in front of me. The lady working there was in the back chatting with someone, and I waited a few minutes before I poked my head back there to let them know I was in the lobby area. She politely said hello and said she would be with me in a minute. Well, after 20 minutes or so of listening to the lady and the guy in there bullshit about random things, they both made their way up to the front, and the gentleman left. They both thanked me for being so patient. Now, I totally understand that if there's one person working there, and two customers, one of the customers is going to have to wait. I was fine with that, but I think if you know that you have someone else waiting in the lobby, at least shoot the shit somewhere where they can't hear you. It was mildly irritating. When I was finally helped, I asked for a fairly common type of frame (1/4 - 3/8" brushed aluminum), which they didn't have. She said something about the recession making things difficult to get, and the manufacturers were not making a lot of different frames anymore. Whatever. So I took my stuff literally less than 2 miles away, where I was helped almost immediately, and they had exactly what I was looking for. I asked if they had any issues obtaining framing material because of the recession, and they looked at me like I had a third eye. I figured as much.

(Such as gems with stone still on them) for cheaper and STILL look amazing, I managed to stay within my budget and still have more money to spend in other stores while getting a haul I was happy with. The man running the counter was super sweet and welcoming to myself and my brother. I would 100% recommend this place for anyone in the area if you like pretty stones, they have things for beginning collectors or people who just enjoy a pretty stone once in a while and ALSO have stuff for more advanced collectors or people looking for cool home decor like a lamp crystal or sculped gem statement pieces. I will be recommending this to my friends.

It…read moreis much bigger that I thought it was, and I have been neglecting a visit for a long time, maybe because is 'on the other side' when all the action seems to be packed on the right side of the Rancho Winery premises, once you park your car and go to where all shops and the winery itself are. However, there is no way to miss this is you observe the woody signs with nice colors that indicate the way. Once there, you are welcomed to check the artisans working (mostly students) and you can see the oven operating plus a section that is somewhat an art gallery, where you can buy pieces from different students/artists. Prices are very economic for the hand and har work and the love each artisan put in each of their creations (at least when I have done ceramics, I don't even want to sell them, they are my babies!), so I did not find the prices outrageous at all. Plus the location inside the RB winery is another pleasant experience by itself. Very recommendable for a visit even if you are not into clay.

So, I finally made it to 2Create yesterday ... What a cool gallery to have in Ramona! My husband…read moreand I found it reminded us of small art centers we have visited in Hawaii. How fortunate we are to have this in our town! We met artists Irma Pina-Garner and her husband, Ed Garner. They are such kind and genuinely interesting people who are so passionate about their crafts. No pressure to buy! When we got home my husband and I talked about how much we would love to have one of Irma's silk paintings so we measured a couple potential spots and I went back today to measure her pieces that are on display and I ended up staying almost an hour just talking to Irma and Ed and looking at more art in depth. One of the things I was concerned about was that one of Irma's pieces was almost perfect but I wasn't sure that the color of the mats would work in the space we are considering. She said no problem, we could work with her framer (Bill Anderson, the Frugal Framer) to do a changeout for a reasonable price - or maybe we will just start from scratch with one of her unframed pieces. Thanks to the Begents for bringing this special space to Ramona!
