The Mystery Gallery

Especially with the Holiday Season in full force, I must mention my favorite place to buy stuff for myself and others: The Mystery Gallery in Milwaukie, OR! I have been shopping there for nearly 7 years, & continue to enjoy talking with the owners as I pick up gifts for others or a little something for me (the rock tray is my collection!). Their focus is rocks & gems, though they hardly stop there. From alter items to clothing to vitamins and singing bowls, I could take up way too much time listing the types of items you could find at The Mystery Gallery. What I will say, is set aside some money and some time before entering!

Located on the corner of SE McLoughlin Blvd & Holly St in the Oak Grove area of Milwaukie, they feature a sweet mural on the side of their building and a really tall sign that says rocks – hard to miss!

Most of the items on my altar I have collected over the years from my visits here (I would show you a picture, but it has asked to not be shared on the Internet). I have a number of rocks and crystals as well as knickknacks, and lots of jewelry. One of the items I get the most complements on are my spiral earrings (I have them in five colors)!
