You are brought to your senses by earthy-floral incense smoke and tinkling musical chimes – your eyes fairy-flit from orange-soda crystals to sparkling unicorns, from shimmering angels to ancient tarot symbols. In Gypsy Chicks – set dreamily among the historic brick buildings of downtown Stony Plain – you are welcome to set your senses free. The atmosphere is gentle, relaxing, uplifting and light – probably why they’re busy over lunch, when “people come in here for a couple minutes of ‘Ahh’” says co-owner Jenelle, with a smile.
Visiting the shop is a tiny holiday from the regular old humdrum – a carpet ride to distant Bali where gifted fingers weave raw silk into vibrant scarves, to miniature gardens where glittering pixies dwell, to an ethereal realm of intuition, spirit guides and poetic energy. This shop is full of magic, mystery and hope – where better to restore your spirit than here?
