Blue Fish Keyring

February 19th, 2008 · No Comments · Amulets, Fun Stuff, Unique Gifts

Fish Amulets are very ancient, but for some reason they’re not well known as other amulets, even though they are very common in many cultures and religions.

Hamsa Necklace In Indigo

December 30th, 2007 · No Comments · Amulets, Professional Shopping, Unique Gifts, necklaces

Why is it that almost every new year’s resolution I make ends up like yesterday’s newspaper? I always say to myself: “This year will be different. This time you’ll do it right”, but nothing really changes. Don’t get me wrong, 2007 was a great year. It’s just that I don’t understand why do we feel [...]
