Simple Strands

Have you ever walked into a store and thought WOW. this shop is full of love? Well this is what Simple Strands is. It’s a small shop in a strip mall, but it is full of –everything-​. If you want statuary, she has it (And it’s reasonably priced). Do you need a new Tarot deck? She has at LEAST 40 decks. Do you need incense? It’s there. How about jewelry? Plenty to choose from.
I wasn’t disappointed in what I saw. And trust me, I saw a lot! The owner works there from open to close, every day, and it is a labour of love! The store was in transition from Samhain to the next holiday, and it was cluttered, but if there was something I wanted, she knew just where it was.
We had a lovely chat about the local new age population, about local covens and the acceptance/​nonacceptance of her shop. It’s sad when the Pagan populace is having to lecture the Christians on «Do unto Others, as ye would have done unto you.» but she’s had to do a lot of that, with kids and adults alike.
I ended up buying a gargoyle who was just too cute to pass up, A small little monster who begged me to buy him and a present for a friend who’s having a bit of trouble with the ladies. We’ll see what happens with it.
Do I reccomend Simple Strands? You bet I do. I’d come here every day if I lived in this area. Sadly I’m in Florida, but when I visit, you can BET I’ll be back!

I went here in search of a sage smudge stick. What a cool place! Beyond that, however, is the sweet, helpful lady (I’m assuming the owner) I’ve read about in other reviews. Even with my four kids in tow, touching everything, this woman was very warm and compassionate with us. She radiates positivity, and her love for what she does is evident in her store and in the relationships she forms with her clients. I will definitely return!

What a great shop. I disagree with the statement about witches as warlocks. Lots of cool stuff … mythical, incense, dream catchers, healing stones, candles, etc. The gal that owns the shop is awesone.

The store has a nice selection. The owner is extremely sweet and friendly, and I always enjoy stopping in. Great if you are into New Age/​fantasy/​metaphysics, but it’s still good even if you aren’t, because there are just a lot of interesting items that anyone can appreciate.

This is a metaphysical store. It’s full of incense, jewelry, oils, crystals, gargoyles and more. If you’re not a witch, warlock, psychic or tarot card reader, this may not be your cup of blood. But its a nice store, with a very nice, sweet, funny, chatty lady who owns it.
