The Peace of Mind Angel Fountain
This is a special place.
It is the Spiritual Center and Cornerstone of Peace of Mind Emporium.
This Angel Fountain was the first nook to be created during the design of the original retail space of Peace of Mind Emporium. The slate was retrieved from an abandoned slate quarry in Western Vermont and hand carried by Julie White, Barb and Jim Fitzgerald. It was placed as the foundation for the fountain. The Verdi green Angel statue was a substitute for the original white marble angel that Julie had seen in her vision, and that had belonged to Julie's family monument business in Rome New York for over 100 years.
This is the place where children and adults alike pause and say a prayer or intention. The sound of the trickling fountain water resounds throughout the store and upper loft area creating a water medley that meshes with the sound of chimes and music wherever one sits or shops.
