Imagine That — Local services in Poulsbo

I was just passing by with family while walking by this store and got very excited and walked in and as I walked in I was putting a mint in my mouth and the packaged was crinkling and the woman behind the counter snapped and yelled at me that no food was allowed in the store pointing at me and yelling it several times. I apologized, walked out. This was an extremely triggering "welcome" as someone with C-PTSD from domestic violence (I get extreme flashbacks from things like this) I didn't expect them to know that but I also didn't nor would I ever expect to be immediately yelled at walking into a business when doing something as simple as putting a mint in my mouth. Regardless I gained my composure and I went back in and apologized for the mint and stated "I'm sorry for the mint and I feel the way you talked to me was un-kind and I didn't deserve it" to which I received a shoulder shrug "I'm sorry" and I turned around and was leaving another woman working followed me and was sitting there trying to make excuses about how many people they see a day and what I was trying to state but was unable to is "I do not deserve to be treated poorly just because you have poor experiences with other people" but she kept interrupting me saying "just listen to me" loudly and talking down to me like I was a child calling me "sweetheart" and being extremely condescending stating loudly as if to embarrass me as I left "we won't expect to see you again" and a rude "bye bye" and I was on the verge of tears at this point and I turned around and stated that she was still being rude and she denied that but I had family right there witness her treat me this way. She continue to loudly tell me in my face to "just listen to her" and kept saying things while I was trying to leave. I was extremely upset and shaking and just burst into tears after this walking away. There is one other part of the story I will leave out, out of respect, because it's not my business to share but it was used as an excuse to be treated poorly by both women instead of just getting an apology for putting a mint in my in the doorway... If see 10,000 people a day makes you treat people that way unprovoked then I think your line of work needs to be reevaluated. I didn't deserve any of that, I was trying to apologize and also stick up for myself in a kind way in a world that hasn't been very kind to me. But she is right, they will not be expecting to see me or any of my family or friends here. There are other wonderful crystal...

I made a special trip to Poulsbo specifically to get a "special rock" to commemorate my three day solo road trip adventure. This store did NOT disappoint!! They have a HUGE selection of gemstones - each kind of stone in varying sizes and shapes to suit anyone's preferences. Every color bead imagineable, three cases of tiaras, and all kinds of statues and carvings from all over the world! I ended up getting some earrings, two chains for pendants, a pretty ring, a copper ball, a near perfect quartz (it is gorgeous and has only 2 visible imperfections inside), and a humongous chunk of labradorite that flashes from all angles! The lady there (I hate I didn't catch her name) was very knowledgeable, helpful, and very kind! She obviously enjoys working with the pretty rocks as much as I enjoy shopping for them! 🙃 It's a fun store, even if you aren't looking to buy; it would be hard NOT to learn something while you're there. Good spot to take the kiddos to learn about different rocks and where they come...

Simply put. I can’t say enough about this place,, I have only visited twice and from where I sit, there is a level of security being held. The attention in detail, selection, interaction and connections to this place is nothing to trifle with. I am a person who takes hard truth and raw nature quite easily and so I had no surprise to the owners being people of transparency and self esteem. I have my eye on a window sphere and although the price is top-shelf and out of my reach at this point , still I want to return just to sit with the sphere and it’s because of the space and the owners. I live on the other side of the water and so time and travel seems to be my only hesitation however for my own self love this is a place and space I see gifting myself. May you have great abundance and success in your long life of Imagine...
