On October 1, at 1pm, Cairns & Creations on Main will officially host its grand opening in the shop’s second, larger location: 1022 Main Street, in Watertown. The metaphysical shop will offer their signature Healing Crystal Stone Cairns and gemstone products, as well as other local handmade artists’ creations and a second floor Holistic Wellness Center, where all holistic practices will be offered: Reiki, massage, tarot and oracle readings, astrology, numerology, Seimei and some recovery-based practices, along with workshops and craft classes.

Erin Enquist happened upon her signature art in 2019 when she decided to make a creative gift for her father to show her appreciation for his dedication to caring for her through a difficult recovery from alcohol addiction. She used her rock collection from Rhode Island, beads, shells and some ingenuity. Her father loved the heartfelt gift, and soon friends and family were asking for their own “waterfall rock sculpture”. Each one she built was different and special to that particular person.

With support from her now wife, Dani, Enquist started working on a business and attended her first vendors’ event, where she learned that her rock sculptures had a name—a cairn. She also learned that hers were unique because they included gemstones, which are tied to distinct “powers”. She started branching out and trying new gemstones, realizing she could incorporate their powers and make each cairn an invaluable piece to someone. Eventually, Enquist’s wife fell into the crystal hole too, and has built her own unique take on a Zen Cairn, while also taking over the crystal side of the business.

This past May, they opened their first store, Cairns & Creations, at Captain’s Cove Seaport Marina, in Bridgeport. This shop is a small “she shed” on the boardwalk with 15 other small businesses, but it is packed full of all their work. Cairns & Creations is classified as a metaphysical shop, stemming from what are now called Healing Crystal Stone Cairns and branching out to gemstone energy bracelets, wire wrapped gemstone trees, gemstone rings, pendants, charms, keychains and the infamous “Juju Jar”. They make crystal infused essential oils and aura sprays, decorative selenite wands, chakra sets and, of course, crystals.
