Plaide Palette: Little Shop of Curiosities
CHERRY VALLEY—Welcome to the world of Plaide Palette, a little shop of Celtic wonders, unusual finds and metaphysical delights.
“We have a wonderful selection of Irish and Scottish wool sweaters, capes and scarves, as well as a vast assortment of tea from around the world,” said owner Susan Murray-Miller. “Plus items for health, wellness, and spirituality, spirit balls, friendship hearts, lots of incense and jewelry, crystal and smudge kits, peace flags, and many more unusual finds.”
Plaide Palette stocks local honey and maple syrup as well, along with hand-thrown pottery.
“Pendulums—we’ve got them and we’ll show you how to use them. Also dowsing rods and supplies,” Murray-Miller added.
Questions about rocks, crystals or minerals? Ask Sue, who is also known as the “rock maven.”
“If I don’t know the answer, my quirky rock maven friends do. One way or another, we’ll find the answer for you,” Murray-Miller said.
Susan Murray-Miller, historian for the Town of Cherry Valley, is a local author, historian, dowser, spirit communicator and photographer. She has owned Plaide Palette for more than 40 years and has been in the spirit and dowsing business for over five decades.
