We have opened a retail shop in Charlestown, Cornwall. Finding a location, and getting the shop ready, was a challenging and interesting experience. If you want to know more you can read about it on our sister site www.crystalwellbeing.co.uk
Our shop combines both our bead and our crystal websites and we sell beads, including semi-precious, findings, books and crystals. We are adding to our range all the time and we are aiming to make our bead and crystal shop an interesting and inspiring place to visit.
Update 31st October 2009
Well, we did the very best we could but unfortunately, in the current economic climate, the shop didn't make enough sales to justify keeping it open.
When we thought about it we realised that the part of the business we both enjoyed the most was the Internet and so we made a decision to close the shop and to concentrate solely on the websites.
Although sad, we don't have any regrets. We learnt a lot from running the shop but closing it will allow us to devote more time to the websites and will enable us to seek out and find more new and unusual stock. Plus we get weekends off, bliss.
