Things Rich & Strange

What a great shop!
There’s more than just jewelry here, and the proprietors are so friendly and accessible! Every time I come here I make this a «Go To» stop, and I always find something different and wonderful!
Today’s amazing find is a magnificent group of rock Quartz «singing bowls». I had two demonstrations, and today I filmed a little video for my Facebook page. Jo was happy to help me and I sure hope my little video gets more customers!
Love this place! Go!

Finally went in this Nye Beach shop after parking in front of it and walking by for years. The steps make a grand entrance and the view inside, of Coast Street, is quite lovely. Most of these new age shops are cluttered, dark and feel like you’re looking through someone’s attic. Things Rich & Strange is neat, nicely laid out and very well organized. It’s easy to browse and find what you’re looking for.
I love the various sections of the store — dragons, witches, Tarot, fairies, Celtic, astrology, etc. You’ll find books, music, jewelry, sculpture in each category and everything is top notch. No bad quality made in China crap. Lots of local art and handicrafts like soap and candles. The brightly colored handmade sculptures of dragons are both magnificent and adorable. This is a very fun place to browse. They also have stuff for the home like lighting, wall hangings, incense and chimes. You’ll also find musical instruments and healing herbs!
But what they specialize in is jewelry. I saw everything from the whimsical to the semi-​precious. They make custom made jewelry as well and the shopkeeper told me they get orders from all over the country. I can just imagine the fun fantasy inspired wedding rings people have come up with! Ah, one more note. They were NOT burning incense! Another reason I usually avoid these shops is the constantly burning incense gives me a headache and, smelling it from the sidewalk, I Won’t even venture in. Here, you can enjoy the fresh ocean air even inside the shop. Hoorah!

This is such a fun place to go when we’re at the coast! They have all sorts of stuff — something for everyone!

Lovely little shop in the heart of the Nye Beach area. They have fantastic deals on candle, a nice selection of books, and other things «rich & strange.»

My first shop since moving here (well, except for groceries…) Beautiful building and location!
Excellent spiritual/​New Age gift shop, overflowing with treasures. The buyer here has a great eye and excellent taste, especially for lovely tid-​bits and eye-​catching personal items. I found clever silver ear-​rings (Elphaba — the Wicked Witch of the West — on her flying broomstick) and husband found a book for the evening. There are many tempting scarves, candles, wands and decks of cards to wander through –
And located in the Nye Beach area of Newport — it’s surrounded by other tempting spots… lots of galleries and bookshops to visit next time… :D
oh – and for locals and those who visit often, they have a customer-​loyalty kind of card that punches for every $ 20 you spend — and after (7?) punches, you get a $ 20 credit!

Wonderful place to get crystals, books and even Tarot Cards.
I picked up a few crystals while I was here, and they give
you a detailed receipt so you can remember all the names
easily.
