It's that time of year again.
September. The kids are back in school and you are struggling with
the routine, packed lunches, chauffeuring to every activity
imaginable...that is, if you have kids. If not, while lucky you,
your favorite beach isn't packed and, now this. For those of you in
the midst of September's struggles, consider this a treat, and for
those of you breezing through the month, consider it the icing on
your cake. A SEA OF BLOOM IS HAVING A JEWLERY SALE. Starting
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15- FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, two cabinets will be
bursting at the seams with sterling sliver and gemstone rings,
bracelets, earrings and necklaces at 35% off. Of course, after
Thursday I imagine those seams will be less stressed.
Owner Karen Stones wants to bring the
best to Sooke and painstakingly chooses each piece of jewelry on the
shelves at A Sea of Bloom. “It's one of the things I find so
fascinating about gemstones,” says Stones. “There are just so
many types and cuts. I always try to find unique stones or settings
when purchasing for the store,” she says.
She is also interested in the healing
properties of gemstones. “Each different stone has a very unique
physical, emotional and spiritual property,” she says. When I
asked for examples, these were just few she gave, with help from her
Big Book of Crystals:
Peridot – Physical Properties
This stone is used to elevate
heaviness of heart and all manner of heart related imbalances. It
helps strengthen the blood and can be used to counter anemia and poor
oxygenation. It is also an excellent stone to use in recovery from
tobacco addiction. I can think of better reasons but buying jewelery
sure seems like a great excuse to finally kick the habit... if I
could name names here, I would.
Rose Quartz – Spiritual Properties
The Rose Quartz is one of the most
humble and yet most powerful of the spiritual allies. It turns the
heart towards love and bathes the body, mind and spirit in that
healing and enlightening frequency. Plus, it's pink.
Lapis Lazuli – Emotional Properties
This stone helps you move your own
consciousness beyond the mundane and allows you to identify habits,
patterns and lessons that may be difficult to perceive and may be
blocking you spiritually. And, it is just so beautiful.
So come in to A Sea of Bloom this
Thursday and pick out your perfect piece.
The women of A Sea of Bloom have been
running full tilt this week to be sure that they have everything you
need for this holiday weekend, from napkins to glasses, centerpieces
