🌬️ Brisk, Sunny, and SHOPPABLE! ☀️

The rain has cleared and the sun is out! It’s a chilly morning, but the Sand Dollar Plaza is the perfect Saturday destination to bundle up and explore.

When you head into the plaza today, be sure to make your way all the way back to the Market Zone! We have three dedicated vendors tucked away and ready to see you. They’ve braved the wind and the chill, and they have some incredible finds waiting for you in our regular market area.

✨ FIND OUR VENDORS IN THE BACK:
🎨 Stingrays Designs – Custom printed magic! Their work on tumblers, tote bags, and more is top-tier.
🍓 Sue’s Jams and Jellies – Local, small-batch flavors that are perfect for a cozy weekend.
🪵 Mr. Bill’s One of a Kind – Handcrafted, unique wood pieces that truly live up to the name.

🏡 WARM UP INSIDE:
After you visit the vendors, head into the shops! It’s a great day to browse the unique collections at A Special Place: Local Art & Gifts and support all of our local Plaza Merchants.

(There is even more to see with our neighbors at Pik-itz Art & Antiques set up next door, making it a great morning to stroll both properties!)

Support small businesses and find something special. Come say hi and stay a while!

Step into the "Master Healer" sanctuary. ✨🏔️

As we wrap up our spotlight on April’s stones, we’re focusing on the absolute powerhouse of the mineral kingdom: Clear Quartz.

Whether you are looking for a massive statement cluster for your home or a delicate point for your desk, Clear Quartz is the "essential" stone. It’s prized for its ability to amplify energy and bring total clarity to your space.

🌟 Special Feature: We also have a beautiful selection of **Golden Healer Quartz**. This unique variety carries all the power of clear quartz but with a golden iron-oxide infusion that is said to represent deep wellness and high-vibration energy.

Whether you prefer the "fractured ice" look of our raw clusters or the water-clear transparency of our polished points, come find the piece that helps you start May with a clear mind and a fresh perspective.

A tale of two "Diamonds"... 💎✨

Nature has some fascinating rules, and today we’re featuring two of its most brilliant rule-breakers: the Herkimer "Diamond" and Tibetan DT Quartz.

Despite the names, neither are actually diamonds—they are exceptionally high-vibration quartz crystals. What makes them so special is they are "Double-Terminated" (DT), meaning they naturally grow with perfect points on BOTH ends. No cutting, no faceting... just raw, perfect geometry straight from the earth!

We’re in love with this pair:

✨ On the Left: We have the legendary **Herkimer Diamonds** from New York. These often have beautiful, subtle inclusions and fractures, giving them a "fractured ice" look with incredible character. (Check out that stunning full choker strand!)

💧 On the Right: Our **Tibetan DT Quartz** comes from high altitudes in the Himalayas. Often known for having darker carbon inclusions, the pieces we currently have are water-clear and breathtakingly luminous. (We have several elegant necklace options!)

East meets West in this collection of raw nature. Come find the geometry that speaks to you!
