Nerdy by Nature: The Resurrection!

We're still the oddities shop that you know and love, but refined and refreshed.

We didn't just bring back spell ingredients, we added a variety of spell jars and kits. We still have your favorite local artists, but we've recently brought in dozens of new ones with more on the way. We don't just have antiques and trinkets, but tons of ephemera and fill-your-own bags for all of your bird-brain desires and goblincore needs.

If you haven't stopped by in the last couple months you'll be amazed by how much has changed.

We'll be celebrating this transition with more than just a grand reopening: The Resurrection. This is just a sneak peek of some of the vendors we'll be working with.

llybookmobile @troyrewind @itzy.vex @agonytheclown and so, SO much more.
