I watched as he was stalked around the store and stared down by both employees. My boyfriend and I both look white meanwhile my brother is a traditional looking Hispanic teenage boy. He was the only person of color in that store and he was followed as if he were up to no good. This was our first time in the shop and it will definitely be our last.

This place was another great little store in Frederick. I love these downtown shops. the prices…read moreare a bit high for me-but that is because I am frugal. I wouldn't say they are overpriced just more then i like to spend on things I don't need and only want. That saying-I find something I want here but don't need. They have some very unique gift ideas along with some books and toys that I would buy. They have a cool talking dinosaur that I loved with its dry humor. It would be a good way to train your child's wit. I would recommend stopping in and browsing even if your are not looking to buy because you may find something you want here.

I was invited by a friend to attend a perfume-making class at LYC, and it was a great experience…read more The class was taught by a mother-and-daughter team, which made it feel very personal and welcoming. The space itself is beautiful, calm & cozy. Mom/Daughter did a wonderful job explaining the entire process, from selecting scents to blending, pouring, and creating a custom perfume. It was easy to follow and a lot of fun. I love the fragrance I created, and I've received several compliments on it already! LYC offers much more than just perfume-making classes (candles, etc).

The mother-and-daughter duo who run the classes are incredibly kind, welcoming, and so knowledgeable at what they do. They explained every step clearly, guided us throughout the process, and made the entire experience so much fun. The selection of candle vessels was amazing -- everything from vintage-inspired pieces to fun, unique styles and everything in between. Then came the scents... and wow. Thank goodness I made three candles because choosing just one was impossible. There were SO many incredible fragrances to pick from. We already booked another class for next month and plan to return every season since they change up the vessels and scents regularly. Such a magical experience from start to finish.

This was a cute store - a lot of nice things to give as gifts and get for yourself as well. First…read morething we saw were the lotions up front, actually they were shea butter for the body. They had different ones with names like Whoopie Cream, Sweet Tea or Pink Moon to name a few. There are testers available so you can take a whiff - some of them smell really, really good. They also have bath soaps that are locally made and shea butter soaps as well (lavender, jasmine and clementine to name a few) - with smells like those, everyone might want to get one. I found myself looking at a lot of items in the store as I wished I could have bought everything. In the back they had sleepwear with cute sayings - they looked like mini-bags, but once opened it is sleepwear. There is even a section selling items for toddlers or babies (can't remember). Employees were very helpful. Definitely want to come back to this spot.

I wouldn't have it any other way. I adore the shop and the owner.

One of my first times being in a spiritual shop with so many options!! I will give a disclaimer…read morethat I don't often find myself in spiritual shops, as there's not a lot near where I live (I live in a very rural area). I do a lot of spell work with plants and herbs, and seeing how many options there were healed my little witchy heart!!!! The herbs are in big jars and the owner can portion it out to get the amount you need! There's a little packet beside the cabinet showing the associations and price by oz (you don't have to buy it by the oz, you can just get what you need). While I do not concentrate my practice on crystals, I appreciated the options displayed! They had more options than your typical quartz and selenite. There were also some beautifully crafted crystal necklaces. In the back section of the store, there were some adorable mini cauldrons and other fire safe vessels great for rituals! In the topic of rituals, they also had a really cool selection of ritual oils! A little on the pricy side for a tiny container, but good if you haven't made your own. Of you're a baby witch their collection of spells that have all the ingredients! Of course, there are also some tiny candles for about .75 a piece depending on the size. The medium ones are about $4.

For the price point we wanted the basket was overwhelmingly beautiful. I also screwed up the address and found out after they drove all the way to Annapolis to drop it off that she moved and I still had the old address (I suck at details sometimes - unlike Frederick Basket Company). They were kind enough to drop it off to me in Silver Spring instead so I could give it to her when I saw her again. So much for the surprise, but the whole thing was too perfect. I love supporting a local shop, the basket was better than advertised and the customer service is top-notch!
