Artifacts is located in the Raley's Village center across from the Heavenly Village shops, off the…read moremain drag through South Lake Tahoe, a couple of blocks before the Casinos on the California side. From the Raley's parking lot, if you look opposite Raley's, you'll see the colorful wind devices rotating at the entry, which match the patina Wind Sculptures art installation near it
Inside, this nicely decorated shop is a combination Artifacts, Gift, Jewelry, Art, Curio, Metaphysical shop, owned by Susan, the silver haired proprietor with her sweet poodle Tula, who may greet you at the door quietly, looking for a nice calm hand to pet her, and welcome you in. Susan has a sister store in the Carson Mall in Carson City, NV called Crimson Moon, which may be a little more New Age/Metaphysics focused.
Metaphysical items are here, too, which got my attention, because she had 2 Tarot decks I own myself personally, for sale. The first is the Voyager Deck, by James Wanless, that I learned Tarot on 30 years ago. The other also visually stunning deck is the newer Starman Tarot, based on rock music legend David Bowie, and the art pieces created by his good friend and artist David de Angelis.
If you are ever in South Lake Tahoe in the summertime, drop in and say hello to Susan and Tula. She retreats back to Georgia in the snow months, however, and she may retire soon, so hurry!
