Hidden away in a courtyard behind Bagatela, this little shop is a real find. With its folkloric wooden decor, it's the kind of place that you could well imagine Hansel and Gretel turning up in. The exotic range of odds and ends make it a delight for those on a hunt for something a little bit unusual. It must be one of very few places in Cracow where you can track down spices from all around the world, and all dispensed by hand like an old-fashioned Chinese chemists. Amongst many enticing things spotted there was some rather fine pottery, as well as a variety of exotic candles and holders, not to mention soaps, bodycreams and all kinds of household trinkets. A small gallery hosts exhibitions on suitably natural themes. The whole place has such an otherworldly quality it seems to belong more to a dream!
