A recommended store for crystals lovers or Ganesha believer
Do you like to buy crystals or are you looking for Ganesha? And where to buy it? Today, I am going to introduce a very special shop in Taiwan, called “Rainbow mind & 許願象” , which is just located in Taipei. I know you certainly have no idea what 許願象 means. Well, “許願” means “make a wish”, and “象” means “blessed elephant.” Besides selling high-quality, purified crystals, this store also provides handmade service, including customizing accessories such as bracelets, necklace, and other decorations. What makes this store more special is that it creates one-of-a-kind “blessed elephant” and also imports “Ganesha” which is an eastern, well-known worshiped god with elephant head.
Many countries worship “Ganesha,” including India, Japan, China, Thailand, but it is much more widespread in India. “Ganesha” is believed to help us gain success and wisdom and remove the obstacles. And the customized “blessed elephant” is a lovely, exquisite craft, embellished with crystals, stones, vintage-gold metal, exotic fabric- which is believed to bring you prosperity and safety- and needless to say, it would be perfect for home decoration.
I have merely purchased two times from this store, but each of which gave me amazing experience. My first time is on Mother’s Day in May this year (Yes, Taiwanese also celebrate Mother’s Day, but in May. More specifically, it is on the second Sunday in May ), and I still liked to give my mom a surprise though I am not by her side. So customized a key chain made of jewelries from this store. And beyond my expectation, Freya- who is the owner of this store- created a delicate craft in time, and carefully wrapped it. My mom and I were both satisfied.
And the second time was in June this year. I’d like to customize a “blessed elephant” for myself as a birthday gift, and also like to use it to decorate my doorway to make it more vibrant and positive. Though this lucky elephant is exactly not cheap as chips, and event not to speak of the delivery time it took sent from Taiwan, it is still worthwhile for me because it really lighten my mood and my house’s atmosphere.
If you like to customize? Things you should know
The way of customization in this store might be not as how you think. If you want me to describe their style, I would say that it is more suitable for ones who like to receive gift and surprise. Of course Freya – who is not only the owner but also the designer- takes your opinion into consideration but she is more likely to follow her instinct. So if you tend to control the schedule, or design, I think you might not be a good match for this customized style.
What information Freya will collect from you? Just like the points listed below, by which she could understand your needs and picture your style:
- Your most recent photo
- Your intention for the blessing elephant (is it about prosperity? well-being? or others?)
- You preferable color?
- If you have no idea , you could follow their Facebook Fan page to see more collection of their work.
Though you can contact to Freya directly by the Facebook fan page, you still can leave message for me if you have any questions. I hope I can do something to make you both communicate smoothly.
