Current status of The Crystal Guide rebuild:

* covered in paint
* moving the same 3 tables around repeatedly😜
* aggressively decorating with tiny gold details
* emotionally attached to wall colors
* surviving primarily on caffeine and delusion
* somehow making it work 😂

But honestly… it’s starting to feel really good in here again.🙌

After everything that happened, watching this place slowly come back to life has been emotional in the best way. 🥹

There’s still a ton left to do, but little by little the warmth and good kinda weirdness, are coming back. 🌈✨

THE CRYSTAL GUIDE GRAND REOPENING CELEBRATION 💥🙌🫶

* SATURDAY MAKERS MARKET🎨

🎙️Live Music

Getting blown up was NOT on our 2025 bingo card.But here we are.

After months of rebuilding, continued challenges with insurance companies, cleaning glitter out of places glitter should never exist, working with contractors, repainting walls, rebuilding displays, and basically resurrecting this strange,,beautiful, colorful and artful, crystalline home- we are FINALLY reopening.

And yes - we’re opening whether every last tiny detail is done or not. At some point you just throw open the doors, light the candles, turn up the music, and let life happen again.

✨ 15-20 local makers & artists from 3-8�✨ Special drinks & bar specials at TBB’s�✨ Live music throughout the day and night�✨ Community, music, shopping, chaos, sparkle, survival and rising above!

MUSIC:�🎶 Acoustic duo in the afternoon�🎶 Lars and the Big Sticky�🎶 Neon Prairie Dogs�🎶 Slow Children

This is also our march into Year SIX of The Crystal Guide somehow existing in this universe, which to be fair, feels slightly unbelievable some days.😍

The shop is finally coming back to life. Shelves are going up. The floors are sparkling again. The crystals will be moving back home soon. Local artists dropping off new wares already. And we cannot WAIT to see everybody back in the space.🙌✨

Come celebrate with us. Seriously. 🥹We missed you.

We’re close enough to taste it.🙌

Yesterday I went to the shop and had one of those very real moments where excitement and holy-wow👀-that’s-a-lot show up at the same time. We are getting ready for our Grand Reopening, and the final stretch is here.

That means cleaning, rebuilding, replacing what was damaged, organizing years of magic back into place, and doing it all while navigating the famously glamorous world of insurance delays after a once in a lifetime’s explosion. (Spoiler: it is not glamorous. At all. In any way. In fact they should probably call it human torture.)

But we are moving forward. And it’s going to be beautiful.😻

If you’ve been asking how to help, here are a few ways the community can make a huge difference right now:

* Gift cards: to places like Lowe’s, ace hardware, Costco, target, Ross etc- or any local store we can help support in this way (preferred) - we need to replace, deep clean and or fix lots of things that aren’t covered at this time
* Clean, gently used rugs - seeking 3
* Large display hutches/cabinets (black, white, or natural wood)
* Planters, trellises, grass patches for the front area
* Mural touch-up help
* Strong arms for move-in / organizing days

We’re also happy to purchase the right furniture pieces and things above, and pay for the labor at a fair price, and are always deeply grateful for donations of any kind.

Please know: if you offer labor, payment may be delayed until claim funds are resolved. I hate even having to say that, but honesty matters here.

This season has asked a lot of all of us. But it has also reminded me what community and resiliency really is. And how important the work of the spirit truly is. 🤍

We are still here.
We are still building.
We are still becoming something even better.

Grand Reopening details, makers market vendor call, and live music announcements coming next.

If you’d like to help, send us a message. If we’re slow to reply, it just means we’re covered in dust and carrying heavy things and of course- all the super charged crystals.💥⚡️😻

We’re officially reopening…after quite the plot twist! 🎉

Join us on Saturday, June 13 - All Day - for our Grand Reopening celebration at The Crystal Guide.

Just one week after our 6th anniversary, this feels like the most meaningful way to step into our next chapter—with all of you.

✨ 3+ live bands
✨ Local vendors set up outside
✨ Specials, raffles, and fun throughout the day
✨ Good people, good energy, and a whole lot of gratitude

This space has always been about community, connection, and creating a place where everyone feels welcome- and we’re so excited to bring that back to life.💥🙌

Come hang out, bring your friends, grab some food, listen to music, check out local art and wares and celebrate with us 🤍

We’ll be holding a simple opening moment during the day-
and we’ll have a space for you to leave a note or wish for this next chapter.

We’d love for you to be part of it! 🤍

Woohoo! Starting next week, we’ll be back at the shop regularly and diving into construction cleanup and finishing. Grateful the construction crew have moved things along - we’re almost there! 🙏🏼

There’s… a decent list of things to do (and by decent, I mean it’s a whole thing 😅), so we’ll be working through it step by step to get the space back together.

If anyone wants to come lend a hand for a few hours here and there, we would truly appreciate it - many hands make this a lot more manageable.

Still no movement on insurance funds yet- nada, zero, zip as in zilch (we love a good waiting game 🙃), so any support - donations, shares, or just helping spread the word - really does make a difference right now.(see link in bio/comment)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Slowly but surely, we’re getting there! 🤍

Y’all… we’re getting close ✨

Lights are going in this week, and we’ll be announcing our grand reopening date next week.

We also want to be real about where things are at behind the scenes.

Since the explosion in September, we’ve only received the initial funds that went toward cleanup. There has been no additional insurance payout for the shop since early October.

Which means - it’s been a really challenging stretch these past months.

We’ve been navigating months without shop income or support from the claim, while still doing everything we can to keep things moving forward and get the doors open again.

Luckily, the building itself is a separate claim and that has been moving forward.

Because of all that, we may be reopening before those funds come through.

So we’re getting creative and building this back piece by piece.

Right now we’re looking for:
• 2 hutches (wood, white, or paintable)
• Heavy-duty shelving (industrial / garage style that can hold weight)

If you have something or know someone who does, please reach out.

And when we open, it may not be perfect yet. We’re rebuilding in real time while still navigating the insurance process - thank you for your patience as we do.

If you’ve been wanting to support, our GoFundMe is still active and deeply appreciated (link in comments).

It, along with other support, has been a huge part of helping us stay afloat and keep moving forward.

We’re almost there 🤍
And we couldn’t do this without you.

New jewelry drop, available now- and coming to the shop for our grand reopening this spring!!🙌

Creating has always been one of the best ways of grounding, while also elevating one’s energy.

These are some new handmade pieces we’ve been working on, built with stones and reminders of things we love and feel called to work with during these times. 🤍

They are designed to be worn as quiet reminders of protection, abundance, calm, and forward movement.

Thank you for supporting handmade art and work.🤍🙌

If any of these pieces call to you, dm us and we’ll get them sent out to you! 🥰

Y’ALL…🙌
The new front door is officially ON.
Walls are going back up.
Drywall starts this week.

After months of dust, paperwork, waiting, and more patience than I knew I had… we’re finally picking out the final touches.

The shop is coming back to life.

We’re planning to reopen this spring, just in time for our 6 year anniversary, which feels poetic in a way I can’t quite put into words.

I cannot wait to have our doors open again. To see your faces. To hear the conversations. To feel the energy back in the space.

And as we rebuild, we’re opening the door to some new local vendors too.

Wholesale and consignment welcome. Yes, even crystals. Always crystals.
But also chocolate, clothing, art, body care, handmade goods, cozy things, beautiful things, practical magic things. If it adds good energy to life in the PNW, I want to see it.

If you’re a maker or know one, reach out.

We’re coming back. And it’s going to feel so good.
