So you know, Daphne herself or Merin(?), are happy to assist you with any questions you have. Modern Mythology is located right in the town's square. It's full of Dragons, Fairies, stocks a variety of silver pendants, earrings, rings, bracelets and necklaces- which include Amber, Amethyst, Opal and other crystals that literally jump at you when you first walk in. Let me not forget, Mythology also sells Incense, Singing bowls, candles, Sage, Books, Chakra Sets, Tarot Cards and so many other items of spiritual nature. Most recently, we picked up a sterling silver 20" chain and an Eye of Horus to replace the one my daughter has had from here since she was 16, an Opal piece- as her October birth stone and medium sized Prayer Flags for our backyard. This shop is worth visiting, especially if you're interested and believe in the power of healing crystals, incense to clean out negativity and beyond. Modern Mythology provides quality products and treasures (at a price), to promote harmony between your mind, body and spirit through these natural products.

This town isn't what I would normally consider a 'me' place, but there really are some cool shops and places to eat. After we stopped for lunch we decided to do some shopping. One of e coolest places we found was Modern Mythology. Of course it's got a hippy, new age feel as soon as you walk in the door, but that have some REALLY cool jewelry and religious items-all religions and a lot of fantasy-type figurines, statuettes, and artwork. Unfortunately, we didn't actually BUY anything, but next time I'm up here I'm definitely buying something from here and sneaking it home.

But it took one day while schools were out to come here and get a scope of who they are. Welcome to the fascinating world of crystals when you come here! If you're starting, you might feel overwhelmed by the variety of these beautiful gems and their uses. Plus, this wife+husband duo got you covered with books on spiritual awakening, tarot readings, the celestial beings, mysticism, separate room for classes, book readings, discussions, meditation, etc. Fear not! I didn't come to Mirabai to awaken any spirits- but I do like crystals and came here to select a few for the positive energy they release and personal development and found Citrine, Moonstone, Hematite(?). But aside from stones and things, these folks also carry cute decor such as votive candle holders, Black Russian stone tiles that I use to anchor a candle holder or could use on its own and a few other things. Price is right. And Audrey and her husband Jeff were a delight.

Many people walk around and take photos in front of it. There are so many beautiful things to look at around the garden, the gorgeous art and sculptures and it's just as interesting inside as it is outside. The owners do a great job of making Pondicherry warm and inviting. I often take a quick break and sit outside on the patio chairs to rest up a bit as I am walking through town. They have a lot of cool stuff but it's not a very big place. It can get a little crowded on the weekends depending on the time that you go. I'm certain you will find something that catches your eye. Go inside and marvel at it's greatness. You won't regret it. Look inside the side basement window as well. There is a an interactive art set up right in the window as well on street level. I make it a point to stop here every time I am in town.

Woodstock is a diverse and eclectic town but it's also famous for its Mower's Flea Market every Saturday and Sunday in a big grassy area. Hubs and I have always made it a point every time we come to Woodstock in the last 20 years, to stop here first (out of nostalgia) before making the drive down home. Quite honestly, we've scored several hand-made pieces and a vintage Dashiki hubs had found for me. Mower's is made up of several vendors all selling something different. Over the years though, the amount of vendors have dropped. And forget about COVID last year- because it didn't take place and was weird looking at vendor-less lot when we came to the area for a day trip in the Fall of '20. But alas, Mower's is back in business and we were delighted to see more vendors (almost) recently like we used to 20 years ago. You'll find antiques, memorabilia, some kitsch- the same way you'll find locally made products. The way I see it, it's a shopping haven for me. Just make sure you get here before they close for the season in November.

So the week before, hubs and I scoured this tiny- but mighty shop at the corner of Tannery Brook Rd & Tinker St. in Woodstock. The size of this shop makes it cute. The location is cute. Hell, the products are cute. These ladies have a selection of minimalist-meets-unusual lifestyle and home items ranging from candles, door stoppers, jewelry, blankets, throws, outdoor mats and so much more done tastefully. This was almost a one-stop-shop place for us as we crossed some people off our Christmas list. Between the sofa pillow I got for my Mom, (2) small ceramic candle holders, a fuzzy scarf and tapered candles- things were looking good. Since my daughter's sorority's mascot is an Elephant, I also purchased her an Elephant wooden door stopper I couldn't pass up. List or not, I'd come back any other time to pick up something for myself.
