A few stories ago, our main mermaid began collecting wondrous and fascinating treasures in her adventures throughout the earth. As with all tantalizing tales, our mermaid fell in love...although this time it wasn't with a prince, but with an incredible community in the heart of Tacoma, WA. From this love that God put upon her heart for this area, a (not boring) art gallery in the historical Lincoln District emerged. This allowed our mermaid to not only be in the midst of her new family, but also be able to share and help and contribute to those around her. Now our mermaid resides by the sea down at Point Ruston continuing the work that was started on 38th st. Entwined in this shop is our mermaid's desire to share beauty & surprise & oddness with those seeking.
What an exciting day with Pirate Captain Malandro and his geode breaking contraption! 🏴☠️
Nils and his strapping son Wesley arrived to battle the machine to find treasure and treasure they did find! Wesley, now forever known as Wesley “Wild Tide” Waverly opened a Las Choyos Coconut Geode filled with stunning blades of etched calcite. While his father, now forever known as Captain Awesome!, opened a Trancas Geode filled with squiggly quartz, calcite and chalcedony. Plus it UV’d green! 💚
The beautiful Jade arrived to celebrate her birthday accompanied by her Mom. Jade, now known as Captain Jade. “Emerald Flame” Jewelstorm, chose a Crystal Canyon Geode to find her treasure. This one was spectacular…filled with sparkly druzy quartz, smoky quartz and some rarely seen amethyst! 💜
Choose your favorite geode and Captain Malandro will help you find what the treasure is inside

Dear Tacoma…
We had SO much fun with you today and truly appreciate all the support, kind words, laughter and generous encouragement. Seeing so many people out exploring South Tacoma Way and supporting our little corner of Tacoma made for a pretty fantastic Friday.
And a huge thank you to all of the businesses who participated, stayed open, contributed prizes, welcomed new faces and did their part to make First Friday happen. It takes a whole neighborhood showing up to make something like this work, and today you SHOWED UP.
Thank you, South Tacoma. 💜
