Chapter 2 - Bell Book & Candle Candle Shop fiasco

" Never bet what you're willing to lose " Autumn reminds herself! Considering how much she saved for Her house projects. She's willing to do what can to see that she finds herself everything and anything to commemorate the house in it's full glory. " A holy sanctuary " for herself.

A cozy loft for another place to relax and read a good book or listen to podcasts. Her life is filled with a lot of heartfelt things that remind her to slow down and take in every moment to heal herself from Anxiety and stress.

This is one of the places she's highly anticipated since she moved in town. The day she bought the house she noticed how she looked for everything to look like in every room since she kept watching YouTube video's of decorating and searching on Pinterest on different decor for different rooms.

She's looking for everything that draws her attention towards coziness and warm and inviting. She walks bye so many stores and shops and restaurants before she feels something magical that she feels bubbles in her stomach. Like When you see something out of the ordinary you need to pay attention. Even the smell of Coffee from the Coffee shop basking in the ambience from inside the shop still couldn't get her attention.

She likes not knowing her destination til she gets there. In this case it feels her destination for the hour was a store that caught her eyes. Sequenced Turquoise lace curtains with falling fairy lights and candles and books and different elegant decor on display that she noticed far from where she was standing. " OH MY GOODNESS " Autumn is at aww at how much it invites you to come look inside.

She follows the Smell of Hot Maple Toddy that seems to be coming from the same distance. She stops and smells the fragrance and follows the smell that leads her into the Shop. She appears at the Door which the fragrance intensified even more she walks in and everything around her made her feel so peaceful and cozy and warm on the inside.

" This is very Inviting " I don't know where to start! Autumn is so speechless that there was no other words coming out of her mouth. She finds herself a shopping cart and allows the energy to draw her attention to what her heart feels will make her house feel like the only place in the world where if any person will never want to leave.

2. This is quite the place to find maybe just everything I need. First place she noticed was a 3 tier tray with candles and a bouquet of white flowers with fairy lights hanging on every branch.

" Good thing it's very intriguing I could really use it for my loft, maybe in my nook ? She really couldn't decide, but the more she touched the pieces it felt like it was meant to be. She lays in right in the cart like it's displayed so every piece was still in it's place. Good thing near the window she noticed a small white table that had a glass transparent top with warm white lights inside.

Oh my goodness isn't that gorgeous! Autumn couldn't pass it up. And asked with a humble heart as she feels the lady watching her, in a way she felt the woman was the boss. If by chance if there's another table like this in stock I'd love to buy one ? No, unfortunately that's the only one and no one seems to ever notice it. You can have it! Oh I can't, I can't take it! The boss replied! Trust me. Uhh, what's your name ? I'm Autumn. " Autumn " I just love that name. Autumn noticed a peaceful warm smile on the woman's face. I felt today that table was meant to be for someone who would walk through that door when i was taking candles out of the box and one lit up on it's own and just about burnt the box. " Excuse me ? " what was that ? Autumn was in shock at what she heard! Oh my sorry, carry on and have fun shopping. I've got more to put out on display. Thank you! Autumn appreciated her help.

She turns to see A cozy blanket that's silky on one side and soft light gray and white fur laying in a blanket basket 🧺 with a soft silky orange pillow along with a turquoise pillow in the same style. Oh I just love that! Autumn noticed the draw and picks it up and lays it in her cart carefully. Above it was a clear shelf lit up with Fairy lights with a few warm white candles along with two of them on candle stands and a round turquoise decorative candle and another in an orange color along with a three of ceramic pumpkins one White, One Orange, and one turquoise. She noticed a lit up stand up Moon nightlight on a stand so you could in the color of an orange salt light use it with or without the stand.

She couldn't help herself

" I sure have a lot in my cart " and it keeps getting filled! She turned to her right and saw hanging bulbed light's and grabbed two to hang on the ceiling of her loft. And noticed orange and yellow, red and brown leaves on a garland and couldn't resist!

What's fall without leaves ? She suggested as an answer to her question! Lucky enough the store carts was big. She noticed a brown farmhouse ladder with a green garland wrapped around the corner's that lit up in lights as well and yet again she couldn't resist. She noticed something was daring her for attention and couldn't figure it out. She noticed a couple long white stand up lanterns and one small one with lit up battery powered candles. A white lit up birch tree and grabbed them all.

3. The feeling came back! What in the world ? that's strange! She feels her hands going numb and hears a whisper blow in her right ear

" OVER HERE " She thought she was going crazy. Where ? She asked oddly thinking if she acknowledged it it would go away. She feels her feet moving and let's go of the cart leaving it behind and at arm's length she walked towards a book.

What's going on ? Where are you taking me ?

She seemed to have stopped at a brown book locked and heard another whisper!

"Read out loud " she read it and felt a sudden change in the atmosphere. She recited it and felt a light wind blowing her hair and saw a white shadow walking bye and stopped to watch her. Who are you ? She is scared it's a ghost and a woman appeared instead! One more time! She feels great power in her hands and grabbed the book. Read it one more time! The ghostly woman said in a small peaceful voice autumn fell for it and recited the spell again. By then the book opened up and a puff of wind blowed in her face and the ghostly woman disappeared!

4. Autumn felt the magic go away and the heaviness of the atmosphere left and every candle that was lit by fire blew out! What in the world ? Autumn was concerned! She then came to herself! I never wanna fee that again. She smelt pumpkin! That's odd.. She said weirded out! And closed the book. She wanted out of there quickly and got to the cash register, when the employee rang up the price she knew then She couldn't afford that! I really wanted it all! With the book still in her hand she made a wish! I wish. I wish. I wish I had everything could just be free anymore why does everything have to be so expensive?

She didn't notice til the employee rang it up again and called for the boss to come fix the cash register. Oh don't worry about it it's all free! Wait Boss she has to pay for her thing's! Not today. Because she's a first time valuable customer everything in her cart is free.

Wait what ? The employer was shocked! Yes since we've just opened she was our only customer and I have a great feeling about her. If you say so! I'd rather pay for my thing's this just don't feel right! Autumn said concerned! Oh trust me I'm the boss what I say goes. If you say so, well I better go I do have other places to go to. I'm sure I might be running late for the library. Oh you didn't bring a car ? Not exactly I walked here from my house it's just around the corner of the all the shops. Oh Hold on, wait stop bye the coffee shop everything you order is on me. Oh I couldn't after what you just done for me, I greatly appreciate it all! No stop bye and go inside and order anything on the menu like I said it's on me, just mention Heather said it was on her. Wait boss I didn't introduce myself either then tell her your name and get aquatinted and get back to work! We have a lot more to do before we put up our online shopping list!

Well with that been said my name is Piper and it was nice to meet you! Well Piper, it was nice meeting you too. Anytime you stop bye walk on in and We all can hang out! I sure will. Oh by the way You can take the cart home and later I can pick it up on my way home or you can just bring it back on your way back to the library. Are you sure ? Autumn is concerned at what to do about it. Yes I can do that! I can drop it off here. It was nice talking to you. You too
