Meditation Classes At "The Crafty Castle"

Meet my friend, Igal
About 4 yrs. ago or so (on my journey) I met Igal, at a spiritual shop. called The Monarch. From there we became friends on Facebook.
After connecting in person for the 2nd time, at  The Monarch, located in Northfeild, MN - at a meditation class . He introduced me to his lovely wife, Alli. Alli & I became great friends. We talked about dreams and all kinds of spiritual things. Which came in perfect timing! Shortly after seeing all the magick manifest, we opened The Crafty Castle. We have so many interesting ideas and know our connection is so right on!
Igal is a Reiki Master/Teacher and will be teaching at "The Crafty Castle" - Soon!
In the near future, Igal will have a meditation cd that you can purchase at the castle. He has a great gift and loving energy. Igal has also gift with a warm & nurturing voice that makes you escape away to another world. Check out our website for details & classes.
Meditation classes will be held on every other Sat. in the mornings. We hope you can join us :)
Namaste ~Gypsie

Making it work, with what you got & bringing dreams to reality


 Welcome to "The Crafty Castle". I have always dreamed of owning my own shop! I love creating artwork, making magickal potions/perfumes, & sculpting. My daughter also follows her moms footsteps and is an artist also :D
For the past 3 or 4 yrs. I have been looking at space for rent, in different areas near our home. I found some great spots but just really didn't feel right! Not to mention......the big expenses! Which totally put a stop to that! One day, I was thinking and asking, Where should I have our shop?? So, I could afford it? I heard.......in your basement! I thought OMG that's it! It's FREE empty space & free utilities. I really could use this empty space & make something fabulous with it! So, That's what we did! We now have a shop in our home basement and it's looking sooo good!


 We had our GRAND OPENING Oct. 19th, 2011. We did really good and met so many nice people. They where telling us how magickal it felt and how nice it was! And....will be back with family/friends :)


At "The Crafty Castle", you can find great unique/rare gift ideas! OOAK paintings/prints, OOAK art dolls/sculptures, hand crafted natural healing perfumes, vintage items/clothing, metaphysical items/hoodoo/spell oils, candles, herbs, resins and much more!


 Our mind is always creating new ideas, so our shop will always be changing better & better each time you visit us at the castle!
Our Castle is located in Kenyon, Minnesota. We look forward to seeing you!

Our goal is to eventually move out of our home into a shop in a town close to home. Then, branch more castles though out the US & the UK. We are dreaming big and we will manifest! We are thankful for what we have & making dreams real! I hope we can inspire you to make you dreams come true ;)

1960's Harvey Berlin Dress Designed by Karen Stark

 I found a wonderful vintage dress on one of my treasure hunts! This is a Harvey Berlin Designed by Karen Stark.
 I believe it is a early 60's vintage dress. Made of a polyester type material. The fabric is heavy duty and has a nice satin lining. It's make is great quality and high quality material!
 Here is a close up picture. It has a zipper in back for easy getting into or off.

This is a picture of the inside on the bottom hem. Isn't it beautiful?  I just love the lace and the lining is fabulous!!

*********************************************************************************
I research this dress/designer and found this. This not my statement - it's someone else's!  I just wanted to share :)

Harvey Berin opened his business in 1921, and by the 1940s his was an important name in lady’s clothing. His designer was Karen Stark, who was the sister of Berin’s wife, Augusta. Stark adapted the latest styles from Paris each season. And even though Stark did the designing, Berin approved or rejected each design. They were best known for their feminine dresses and ensembles. Berin was a favorite of several First Ladies, including Pat Nixon and Ladybird Johnson. Harvey Berin closed in 1970.
“I like dramatic clothes for evening and uncluttered clothes for daytime. I like to use beautiful fabrics and unusual trimmings. I design for everyone – short women, tall women – but always very feminine women.” Karen Stark, 1966

"The Crafty Castle" Big Grand Opening - In Minnesota

All my life I have dreamed of owning my own shop! I love creating art and finding rare or unique items. In the past few years I have been checking out space rent in Faribault, Owatonna, Northfeild, & even in our home town of Kenyon.  With all the expenses of my passions....renting space is out of the question at this time. As I can't afford it yet. I asked myself - how am I going to make my dream happen? I thought about it and then it came to me. The answer was: "My basement"! I have all that extra space, it's free rent/electric, it's close to home & don't have to drive! A country home with a shop in it - what an awesome idea!!

THOUGHTS BECOME REALITY!

Today, I am excited to announce that we will be opening a new shop called, "The Crafty Castle." We are a spiritual shop! We carry handmade items, vintage, candle holders, artwork, healing perfume oils, clothing, and much more!
