End of July, 2009 
Change and Transformation

If you have been by the shop or have visited our web site, you’ll notice some powerful changes. TeaPartyBookshop.com has been completely redone, and it is awesome!  Our events are now front and center – you’ll see event notices on the main page, and you can click on them to get even more details. There is a category for author and practitioner bios. Click the Upcoming TPB Events category to view event details and to register. Click the Events Calendar link on the far right to see all the events we have going on – there’s something every day, and we are constantly adding more fun things.  We are working towards adding video to the site too – as we record events, we’ll be posting clips, so if you missed something, or are curious what to expect in a future event, check it out!
 
In the shop, we’ve acquired some cool new furniture, and of course, that means major rearranging.  The store is much more open, and the energy is flowing much more freely.

And into the new fixtures goes all the new and exciting stuff I brought back from the show in Denver!  More info on the specifics below…..
 
 
Cool New Stuff!
 
I had an excellent time at the New Age Trade Show last month, and came home with all sorts of goodies. 
 
New Jewelry!
I fell in love with Kristin Ford jewelry - you will too! These delicate necklaces and earrings are created with an appreciation for the healing properties of the semi-precious stones in them. In addition to being beautiful, there is an intent for peace, love and healing in each gorgeous piece.
 
Those interesting pendants Tad and I are wearing are Vogel crystals.  I’d admired Tad’s purple triangle, but didn’t think much more about it – until I was able to touch the one that spoke to me.  Some people get an energetic charge right away, for me it was a bit more subtle, but still powerful.  I’ve had my Star of Venus on for a month, and am amazed at the changes and movement going on in my life.  Can I attribute this to the crystal?  Hard to say, but wearing the crystal certainly feels positive and empowering.  
 
Statuary!
 
I am so pleased to be able to offer Dryad Designs, a line of statuary of particular interest to the Pagan community.  We have excellent pieces that will go great on an altar, and wall plaques celebrating the Wheel of the Year.  Great as gifts!
 
Singing Bowls
 
These are on the way, and should be here in early August.  More when they arrive!
