If you’ve been out to the Market and made a visit to my little store – Namaste ~ Sleeping Gypsy – you will have seen some changes that are hard to ignore! But it’s all good! Let me fill you in…
We have been out at the Daytona Flea Market for 11 years now. We stumbled upon our original store front completely from one part good vibes, one part determination and one part good luck. We settled in and spent many good years at B South 31 & 33. But, as the years rolled by, we began to experience some physical changes with the space. The original roof leaks were becoming more and more of an issue and we managed that well at the time. But what was increasingly troubling was the state of the flooring in the store. It was literally rotting out, and anyone who has been frequenting our space over the years can attest to that. (Think roadside fun house and you will have a good idea! ) It was becoming a hazard, for sure! So, after much thought and prayer, we decided to move…but not too far! We moved our operation just across the hallway to B South 36! We decided also to downsize to a single spot instead of a double, for a few reasons: we wanted to be as close to our old spot as possible so that our customers could still find us. But, the most important reason was to be able to keep our prices as low as possible. With the economy being the mess that it has become, everyone has (and is!) experienced a pinch in the pocket. We didn’t want to have to raise our prices! So, instead, we made the changes necessary to keep the lowest prices on the highest quality goods that we could offer to our loyal customers and friends. It is a big change, but not so much. We are still working on settling in and tweaking details day by day, but soon we will be all situated and polished and glowing like a bright shining star! So, please…bear with us…
In the meantime, here are some minor changes that you might wish to take note of…
I am still offering my hand made earrings like always. There are bracelets there, as well. But the prayer beads, malas, Buddha necklaces, gemstone necklaces and pendulums will be offered on my Etsy store for now. The prices are still the same and the shipping is free! Feel free to head over there at *NamasteBeadWorkz* and check it out to see if there is anything that tickles your fancy! If you are local and/or planning on visiting the area, I can bring whatever you are interested in out to the store so that you can see it and in person without having to deal with online shopping, if that option is more practical or appealing to you. Just message me, text me or call me and let me know what you wish to see and we can make arrangements to connect easily out at the store. Easy peasy!
Also, I am still carrying everything that I had in-store by way of incense, dream catchers, sun catchers, hand made earrings, bracelets, tote bags, smudges, resins and burners, but with some minor changes. The big expensive burners will be sold out and no longer available except by special order. They will be replaced with smaller and more versatile burners that are much more practical and budget friendly. I will no longer be carrying sarongs, as there is no room for them. We still have and offer all the incense we carried before the move – a full line of WildBerry, Satya Nag Champa, Hem, Kamini, and some Ramakrishnananda resins from Prabuji’s Gifts. And, as always, we can do any special order that you need. Just let us know and we will see what we can do to get you the best deal on things that are hard to find but make you happy!
In the meantime, we are standing strong and refusing to let minor issues set us back. It’s the little things in life that are the most meaningful and by keeping things simple and positive, we can weather any storm…big or small. With that being said…
…we wish you a most beautiful day and a happy start to the fall season!
Until next time…
…Namaste!
