Portsmouth NH Spotlight: Paradiza Boutique

Paradiza is not just any boutique.  It prides itself on being a "unique boutique" and they do just that.

Upon walking into the shop, you're immediately welcomed by a plethora of amazing items (most of which you'd never see anywhere else).  You can easily spend hours wandering around the nooks and crannies of Paradiza without even realizing it! There's so much to see, and all of it is beautiful. 

Just to name a few of the items they've got is difficult since almost every single thing is as unique as the last!  That said, the shop carries gorgeous handbags from Turkey, Trollbeads, amazing soaps and lotions from around the world and Iron Fairies.  Oh, and oodles of cards from many different artists.  The thing that makes Paradiza special is that most of the products they sell are either locally made, or from somewhere magical.

The Iron Fairies the store sells are quite popular.  They're these adorable little fairies that just about fit in the palm of your hand and are very special.  Each one comes with a bottle of fairy dust, a poem from the fairy, a special miners pouch and a lovely tin.  They make great gifts, or are a perfect treat for yourself!

I was beyond excited when I found out that there is actually a fairy named Alana.  An Alana fairy?! I never see my name anywhere, so I knew this was one special fairy. She's got the most adorable poem in a scroll that comes with her:

Alana, I am called
in the garden I roam though
the sour grass, my home
the colors make all my senses soar
soft yellows and tranquil greens
swaying stems rolling like a wave
all around me
my ocean cave
blue skies and yellow towers
I look up to my bedroom flowers

 How cute is that?
