Nymbol’s Secret Garden

Last time I visited Langley, I was intrigued by the skeletons & pretty corset/​flowy fairy wings/​sparkly things in the window of this new shop and decided to go in.
Wow! My 16-​year-​old Goth Girl rejoiced as I spied intricate leather masquerade masks, decorated hand-​carved skulls, «monster» journals, spells, candles, and tons more. Several kids were having a ball trying on things and running around like mad. It’s definitely a child’s paradise in there — even though most of the items are on the expensive side (and rightfully so — they’re more art than costumes or decorations, and most likely take a LONG time to make).
Co-​owner Sam (she and her husband own the shop) greeted us cheerfully, and really seemed to love what she was doing. «Nymbol» is apparently some kind of dragon puppet, and there was small stage area where he performs in the shop. In addition, they put on themed parties & events for kids AND adults + they offer classes on how to make the leather masks.
All in all, I think this is pretty awesome, and I really really hope it makes it!
