Halcyon Daze Little Shop Of Calm

Hippy havens is what I so lovingly call shops like these — I feel I can say that because I absolutely love this store and any like it (I believe in another life I abstained from wearing shoes, lived in a commune and wove baskets for a living).
I guess I also adore shops like these because I hate pretentious shopping experiences with blaring dance music and blank-​faced shop assistants (I guess I’m getting older?). Little Shop of Calm is indeed is an oasis in the surrounding bustle of Cowbridge High Street.
With so much in this boutique to catch your attention, I could easily spend an hour in here, browsing the clothing, jewellery, bags, as well as the ranges of oils, knick knacks, crystals, and crafts from around the globe.
If you’re interested in attending concerts or poetry readings or taking yoga, Tai Chi, or other classes, check out their website for more information.

Halcyon Daze Little Shop Of Calm has changed its name, but I can’t remember whether this is the new name or old… I always simply refer to it as Halcyon Daze. I’ve never been very good at remembering names and so it’s a wonder that I remember this bit!
I wish I could remember the name of the manager that runs this shop, because she’s very lovely and deserves to be referred to by name. But I can’t!
This is the second Halcyon Daze, opened after the success of the Cardiff branch. The owners still man the one in Cardiff, hence the need to employ a manager for the Cowbridge outlet. I’m glad they do.
This shop is much smaller in size, but still manages to pack things in. They stock a range of bohemian clothing and accessories, and the usual ornaments and healing artifacts. They also possess a wealth of information. They’ve got a great notice board as well as a business card table, where it’s possible to find out about all of the local alternative therapists. If there isn’t a card for what you want, then it’s worth asking the staff, as they are incredibly knowledgeable.
