    There are stores l that I like to call "feel good stores"...the ones that emanate and radiate goodness by the products they carry. This was one of those stores. From the inviting fruity floral aroma that wafted through the air to the whimsical display tables adorned with various trinkets and Knick knacks. It's reminiscent of that of a Francesca's, though Francesca's will have more humor oriented gag gifts. This store had more inspirational things items, like autobiographies and poetry and greeting cards that focus on gratitude, kindness, and general thoughtfulness. If any store has a display solely dedicated to the Rifle Paper brand, it gets major points. Rifle Paper carries some of the most cutely decorated and curated items that if I could own everything from that line I would. This is definitely the kind of store you don't want to stay in too long as you'll end up buying something you want but probably don't need which is typically the case with me in stores like Francesca's or Target. Things that emit good vibes have that effect on me. Regardless, I am so happy I passed by it. It was the chalkboard stand outside that initially drew me in. The girls inside were so nice as well. The area that just blew me away was the wall lined with wrapping paper with distinct patterns on them. I was especially privy to the one with cats on it. I had to restrain myself from not buying a majority of the things in the store. I ended up getting a pretty greeting card that came with a necklace that I ended up keeping for myself lol because it had a good message on it and then also these two cute keychains that I wanted for my key ring for my apartment. So I will most definitely be back. There are some good finds in there:)

    Vinyl mug!! This place has so many things you didn't know you needed? Like who doesn't need a Snoop Dogg cookbook or a 420 Marijuana candle?!! I had to get this mug. I listen to my records all the time and now my mug can match my mood! We were tickled throughout. It's so vibrant and eye catching as you wonder through and explore the store. Funny socks, miniature games, and even tiny ice cream makers. From stationary & desk essentials to gift wrapping. They literally have you covered. It's really great for the little one too. But bring your wallets guys cuz they're a little pricey. However, my mug was worth it.

    Decorative papers at Paper Source

    Paper Source is a good option to turn to if you need to grab some scrapbook or rubber stamping supplies without having to make a trip down to Michaels. I got a box of Zots glue dots (300 count) for my scrapbook here. Honestly, it was a change from having to walk down to Dick Blick. I got a greeting from one of the associates as I came in, & was asked if I'd found everything that I needed during the checkout. That was good enough for me. Hands-off salespersons are okay in my book. The greeting cards here are cute & quirky. The decorative paper, giftsy items, gift bags, stationary, ink, rubber stamping & scrapbook supplies (glue sticks & scissors are sold here too), journals, unicorn-themed items, & stickers make this a cute one-stop shopping experience for some crafting or gift needs. I will stop here again for glue dots or too treat myself to something a little different.

    Great selection of cards. They also sell calendars and other gift items. The middle part of the store is interesting because it has items such as stationary items that you can gift or buy for yourself. The back of the store is a card making area. Not sure how that part works if you need to make a reservation to use it or how you pay for it. But it's interesting none the less. My only issue is that this store is so expensive!!!!!

    Another little store with overpriced basic goods. $30 for envelopes? Such garbage. This place doesn't belong on Walnut.

When we asked some simple clarification questions he told us he could t work with us anymore, ran away and disappeared, with only a couple months before the wedding leaving us without a ring. The diamond we gave him to use when it came back was clearly substituted with another cheaper one, and our inquiries went unanswered. This is theft, and these folks are un trustworthy and not a professional operation or interested in any kind of respectful and honest customer service. Stay clear of them and work with someone more on the level.

    This place is neither a workshop nor underground but I'm not going to hold that against it. What it…read moreis is an adorable little shop with some really cute jewelry that's actually affordable (3 pack of studs for $20, yes please), trinkets that would make great gifts (hello lighter with 8track design and penguin shaped cocktail mixer), and some great hats and ear muffs that are on sale right now, just to give some examples. They're also going to be adding some plant life to their selection. Staff was friendly but not too pushy, and even offered me a mimosa while I shopped! Genius business plan. I bought some really cute earrings and I feel like they were discounted because of that drink, that's how that works right? Great place to kill time while you're waiting 45 minutes for Little Spoon/The Cambridge to call your name.

Nestled side by side with the 'Christmas Village' market the Made in Philly has many small stalls selling candles, clothes, ornaments, food drink both hard and soft, and is a great place to shop for the season. While the 'the Christmas Village is more international and mass produced. Made in Philly is, as the name implies more local business and more artesian. If you're looking for that holiday something that screams local pride, this is it! Besides being smaller than the Christmas village the Made in Philly market is a little more relaxed. There are more areas to sit down and let your mind wander and abutting the Rothman ice rink you're not just limited to shopping and dining. I would recommend going during the day and going early in the season as the site gets busier in the evenings as commutes stop off and on the weekends. You may also find stocks not dwindling as the season rolls on as these are produced locally. Afterall it's easier to get a shipment in from Fishtown than something going to the Christmas Village from Dresden or Stockholm! Also they do not seem to have the problems with a uniform form of payment that is a both in the Christmas village. The one real downside here is the limited selection. While smaller than the Xmas Village there is also a sameness to some of the stalls, there's only so much you can do with scented candles.

    Overall a fun holiday market with the standard things you'd expect (candles, bath/lotion items,…read morejewelery). A little bit crowded when I went the Friday before xmas. A good number of visitors not masking. I highly recommend using the portapotties outside rather than the bathrooms inside, as the portapotties were surprisingly very clean and had no line, while the indoor bathroom had a long line of 50% unmasked individuals and some stalls had no toilet paper. Loud music may make this less than ideal for people with babies.

Also, this lovely boutique is woman-owned and I love their branding. First, the decor is everything and I wanted everything! I went in a few mins before they closed on a beautiful Sunday evening. The young lady that worked there was very attentive and answered all my crazy questions. I met the owner (I did not know it was her at the time; so down-to-earth and sweet). My experience here was really nice. Ritual Shoppe has mystical items, apothecary (also pink LOL), beautiful fine jewelry, etc. I am definitely looking forward to visiting again and spending more time looking at more of what the shop offers.

It had all things yoga and metaphysical in there and I loved it. From pretty quartz crystals to Tibetan singing bowls to incense, they had everything and anything. I've been wanting to find a shop similar in Philly and this one is like that but on a smaller scale and a bit more high end. I'm sad that they are going to be transitioning to being more of a pop up but I'm glad I still was able to stop by today. Probably not the best idea because I ended up spending more money than I intended to but it's for a good reason/investment into self care and spiritual protection (which I think we could all benefit from). What I appreciated most was how most of the things in there were handcrafted and curated by artisan jewelry makers or small business owners. The selection varies from intentional candles to crystals to rings to bath items but they all held special intentions and purposes like cleansing, healing, protection, etc. It all does seem a bit witchy , but it had good vibes. I don't consider myself to dabble in witchcraft (though I think some people do). I'm more about prayer, goal setting, and self care and spirituality which often gets confused for being withchery or sorcery which is sad, but I think it's how you use those kinds of things. You can tell the store had good vibes and promotes positivity and self care which I'm all about. I believe they are going to use it as a community space and will eventually host workshops which I'm excited about. I'm just really happy I stumbled upon it when I did and that I found some unique items in it. They are on the pricier side but again totally worth it. Investing in your mind and body is important, but your spirit in my opinion needs just as much tending to so I'm glad I was led in this direction. I was actually heading somewhere else entirely and landed at this place. Coincidence? I think not :) Happy Yelping! Note that they also have cute greeting cards and books. It's not just all spiritual stuff, but other cute Knick knacks too.
