Upcoming Events

Join us Thursday, January 29th from 7-8pm for our book club where we will discuss Pachinko by Min Jin Lee. Pachinko is a historical fiction novel by Min Jin Lee that follows four generations of a Korean family who immigrate to Japan in the early 1900s. The book explores themes of love, sacrifice, family, and identity, while depicting the discrimination, prejudice, and hardship the family endures as outsiders in Japan, from the Japanese colonial period to the late 1980s. 

Be our Valentine ❤︎ Join us on Saturday, February 14th from 2 to 6 pm for a one of a kind Valentine’s Day pop up! Our stunning parlor space above the shop will be transformed with romantic decor inspired by dark, gothic vintage boudoir vibes.

Browse sexy lingerie and vintage fashion from Dusty Doll Vintage, enjoy intoxicating scents from Hex + Wax Candle Company, anoint yourself with handcrafted intentional oils and sprays by Botanica Lilith, treat yourself or your sweetheart to lush fresh florals by Gypsy Alley, and receive a love tarot reading from Osythia Oracle.

This will be an unforgettable afternoon of romance, magic, and indulgence. You won’t want to miss it! ❤︎
