The only place that comes close to Alchemy & Aura is Crystal Connection (no longer exists) and AromaG Botanica in Nashville, Tennessee. Ezra assisted me in finding items I needed and was very patient and thoughtful in answering all my questions despite being very busy assisting others. I loved how they created a sense of arrival in the store with two trees at the entrance area with a crystal chandelier hanging between them, eye catching displays, and a large dining table with chairs. The tarot & oracle deck selection was massive. Some of the decks were not available for sale online. I purchased three large Oracle decks on clearance for $12-$15 each, a dragon incense holder, oudh incense, nag champa cone incense, and got two books from exchange chest there. There were many items I wanted to purchase yet considered buying them later.

The selection of jewelry is stunning and most of it was reasonably priced. I always buy a Christmas ornament here as well since my tree is covered in "vacation" ornaments. The only thing I was disappointed in was the price on some of the clothing...I found a hoodie that I really liked but I wasn't in the mood to spend $50 on it. I did buy my husband a really cute cool dri shirt with a map of Topsail on it for $32 though! I would recommend checking this place out.

Well that's what it was like when I walked in Ziabird. It is a little tiny boutique nestled in a plaza full of stores. I happened to walk into this one first and was instantly taken. The store carries items made by small production artists. It has earrings, scarves, dresses, and every other accessory women love to wear. Some of the prices are higher end but the pieces are beautiful, thoughtful and unique. The owner was super easy to be with and became my instant friend as I perused around the store. I hadn't planned on getting a single thing but walked out with my new favorite ring and dangle earrings... both of which I have lived in since.

Guests are asked to store purse/bags in a locked locker (guest carries key on bracelet while shopping) -or respectfully leave purses and bags in vehicle. Items stolen were too large to fit into a locked case-but sadly not too big for an oversized bag. Next time you're in Wilmington look up this beautiful shop.

Allie greeted us as we walked in the door with her wonderful southern charm. So many things to choose from, from Art, jewelry, and many many novelty items. Mike definitely has an eye for art. What he he does with the pictures that he takes his self is incredible. He touches them up to bring out the beauty of the colors and then puts them on a wrapped canvas. I would love to decorate my house with at least 20 of his photos. If you are in Wilmington North Carolina, this is a must. I will guarantee that you WOULD LOVE the store. I am so happy that we found this place.

I was so overwhelmed at the many gorgeous hand made wooden pieces on display in the store from all of the US. There is something for everyone and I fell in love with a chess board with weighted pieces made in an Amish community. I had it shipped home-my husband loves it and the grand kids ask to play every time they visit. One of the Grands wanted a chess set for his 12th birthday so I called the store, Janet was so kind and patient with me trying to buy this board over the phone. She mailed it to him in Little Rock AR which got there in time! I just visited the store again, during the 3rd annual girls trip and purchased ANOTHER board with weighted pieces for my son in law for Christmas...a request from him. And once again, Janet was extremely helpful and patient with me, trying to decide which one to purchase and ship home. I look forward to calling her again for another special gift for someone in my family!! Greatest store ever!!! Thank you Janet and Gary!!!
