Overview

A beautiful, tiny wee shop in Queen Margaret Drive selling crystals, fairies, tarrot and all things mystical. Quirky and cute.

Transport & Parking

0.5

Parking is on street and all depends on you being lucky! Also there is a distinct lack of dropped kerbs but the pavement is negotiable. Approach to this shop is not brilliant but it is possible to travel by powerchair from Great Western Road or the nearby Botanic Gardens.

Access

3.5

The shop does not appear accessible at first. There is a rather large step, but as soon as you pass by the window and hover about for a second, a staff member will appear with a ramp as if by magic! ;) Once inside the shop is tiny but you can turn a chair in there and have a good look around. Again the staff are marvellous. You are left alone to browse but they are on hand as soon as required to move things, show you products and sometimes just to explain what you are looking at! A great place to pick up unusual gifts.

First class service. Attentive without being intrusive. No pushy sales techniques, just genuine helpful folk who will go to any length required to help you get exactly what you want.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

I know this is a shop and not a venue but I had to submit this review as I believe that little independent shops that go above and beyond most others to provide equality of access and suberb customer service to all, deserves to get the praise it's due. Too often these little shops in old buildings completely ignore access laws and use the 'listed building' excuse which is a pet hate of mine. Especially when it CAN be done. Well worth a visit if you're looking for an unusual gift or a wee treat for yourself.
