THE owner of a new Prudhoe shop says that she has been 'blown away' by the 'support' she has received since opening six weeks ago.

Spirit Rocks, which opened on Prudhoe Front Street on August 1, has been making other-worldly leaps forward since opening its doors.

Store owner Chloe Cavanagh has reflected on the 'amazing success' of the store's opening night and the subsequent 'joy' she has felt going into work.

"I’ve been so blown away by how the opening of my little shop has gone! The opening night was an amazing success. Seeing the queue wrapping around onto Prudhoe bank blew my mind as I was never expecting it to be so busy, but I’m so thankful that it was," Chloe said.

"These last 6 weeks since opening have been so amazing, and I’ve met so many local people who have been so excited about the shop and so many who have become regulars already."

Alongside thanking the public, Chloe expressed gratitude to friends and family who helped get Spirit Rocks ready for its opening. She also thanked her 'amazing' stockists for helping to make the shop 'extra special.'

The spiritual aficionado has 'stunning' stock, like plants, furniture, accessories, and beauty products from vendors like: Rigore Morti, Gem Jarz, Button Mushroom, Of Vine and Thorn, Plantopia, Supernatural Skincare, Handmade creations, and Prudhoe-based business owner Yvonne.

"You can find all of their amazing products in stock in Spirit Rocks as well as a huge supply of crystals, crystal jewellery, incense, tarot cards, and so much more!" Added Chloe.

The former coffee shop worker and makeup artist says that she has lots of 'exciting plans going forward,' including the transformation of the store's reading room into a 'mystical space' where customers can get readings from local tarot readers and mediums.

"I’ve had a few tarot readers in so far, and they’ve been such a huge hit. Next month, I have an amazing medium coming to give readings, and he’s nearly fully booked already.

"I love using my space not only for my business to grow but also to support local businesses and people I’ve met over the years at markets who deserve to be showcased too!"
