Bluestone Magik

What a fantastic change from the uniform blah of commercial stores in North America. Yes it holds great finds for the mysticallly inclined, but it never fails to bring out the kid in me when I see the first dragon figure or the shiny full sized sword hanging on the wall. This should be on every families itinerary for the South Shore — something for everyone.

What caught my eye for this place was the little knight standing right outside. I was a little disappointed that there weren’t more fantastical items, it was mostly touristy things. I was kind of expecting a store similar to Little Mysteries before I walked in.
The items they did have were nice and they also sold swords (yes, swords with dragons on them).

This really is the strangest little shop on the South Shore…
Nestled in on a street of mostly predictable purchases for the area-​nautical this, tartan that-​Bluestone is three-​quarters maritime souvenirs, one-​quarter mystical, magical, fantasy collectibles. And I don’t just mean pictures of Stonehenge here, people. We’re talking sexy witch figurines complete with clear sight-​lines up their skirts, swords and daggers, and all kinds of things ranging from legit pagan books, to Dungeons & Dragons décor.
Now, just because there’s a solid representation of other-​worldly stuff, that’s not to say they don’t have a really good handle on your typical tourist souvenirs. There’s all kinds of east coast must-​haves like lighthouses, seagulls, seashells, fishing ropes and nets, postcards, books, keychains, shot glasses, and the whole lot.
Strange? Sure. But all in all, an easy place to do your necessary gift shopping for the folks back home. Including that awkward nephew who spends too much time in the basement.
