I really appreciate supporting the local business. Their pricing is great and they are always super helpful whenever I come in they have a wide assortment of crystals and I especially love that they carry herbs and a huge array of candles. I also get my Florida water here. Atmosphere is beautiful and it's neatly positioned in a shopping center, but easily accessible. Hoping in the future, they start hosting events cause I definitely want to continue to share this place with people in the community.

Whether that's because of the space or because of the wonderful and lovely people who work there, I don't know. But it's always filled with such great energy and light!

Whenever I walk in, I'm always so kindly greeted and I truly appreciate having that sort of experience. Kindred Spirits has been part of this community for a long time, and they continue to show up by providing amazing items and services, as well as being kind, welcoming and helpful.

When I came back a few days later today she had been found, they recognized me asked me the second I was in the store if my cat was okay. I hope places like this are always around.

A Beautiful, Well-Stocked Studio Perfect for Crops and Creative Retreats…read more I attended a 3-day crop here for $79, and it was absolutely worth it. Just keep in mind -- it's a no-frills experience, which means you're paying for the convenience of a very clean, well-organized studio where you can craft comfortably with friends. The space is stocked with every tool, supply, and embellishment you could possibly need for scrapbooking, card making, journaling, or any kind of paper crafting. They even run a tab for you during your crop, which is so convenient when you find last-minute items you want to buy. Location & Space The studio is located in a business park, so it's easy to miss from the street. It's upstairs, but once you walk in, it's spotless and beautifully decorated -- vintage, feminine, and upscale in style. The layout and organization make it easy to find exactly what you need without digging through clutter. Experience & Staff Frank was there during my crop, and he's genuinely kind and helpful. People come in and out regularly, and it's clear the shop carries unique and hard-to-find products that keep customers coming back. I'm also part of the Journal Club and Card Making Club, and both are very reasonably priced. Whether you're crafting solo or with friends, this place is a gem. Highly recommend attending one of their crops or just stopping by to browse -- it's an inspiring space for any paper crafter.

They are a little gift shop with small trinkets, stationary, mystery boxes, stickers, skin care, and a bunch of random things. I came here with my family for the photobooth machine they have in the back. This is the Four Cuts photobooth machine. It is $8 for the photobooth experience, 4 shots, with the option of a retake if you mess up the first time. Pretty standard of the Four Cuts photobooths. I would definitely come back for the photobooth when I'm in the area. The rest of the shop seems to be a cute trap. I'm anti clutter so I'm not really into the items here, but I can see it being popular for teenagers or the college students in the area.

After looking through the entire store, I decided to purchase a figurine, a book, and a small informational chart on Chackras. Contrary to a previous review, I found the owner to be very attentive to the customers, asking several times if I needed assistance with anything. During check-out, the owner asked if I knew anything about the figurine I was purchasing. I really did not know, and the owner told me about the figurine which was a Green Tara figurine, and gave me some literature to read about it. I was also interested in the Singing Bowls, as I had decided to purchase a book on Singing Bowls that was for sale in the shop. The owner also told me a little about the Singing Bowls and what they are generally used for. At no time, did the owner try to force me to buy anything. Overall, I give this place 5 stars, because of the great items in the stores, very pleasant environment/music, and great customer service. I will definitely be back.

It honestly was the best supply of Jellycats that I've seen in awhile, especially with the seasonal ones that have been coming out (e.g., summer collection was partially in stock here!). Were the prices a little bit higher versus ordering from the Jellycats website or other stores? Yes. Not an exorbitant amount, but it is higher-priced. But, with how there's quite a low stock on a number of Jellycats in general, it didn't feel too awful to go ahead and purchase a couple. (I ended up getting one of the elephants, as well as an egg keychain). When talking with the owner, there's a chance that the Jellycats craze may die down soon, but it seems to be popular in the meantime. Loved chatting with the owner today, and how nice she was!
