We are looking to hire a part-time sale associate; here are the details. (03-13-2023) Horsefeathers has been owned by the Vaglienty family for nearly 40 years; we are a diverse retail business in downtown Waukegan. Originally established as a vintage goods and clothing store, we transitioned in the 90’s to become an “international bazaar”, selling products such as body jewelry, sage and smudges, crystals and stones, tapestries, incense, oils, pendants.

Store Policies – Revised 04-2022
Horsefeathers Store Policies Updated 12/19/2022 Updated December 2022: With the virus still with us, but with more people vaccinated, we’re changing our store polices to reflect all of that. All policies have been put in place for a reason; some will be happy about them, others not so happy, some won’t care, and we realize this. We’ve really put a lot of thought into these changes and feel they are for the best, especially when it comes to health and safety. Some may change in the future, but for now, these are our store policies. If you want a reply to your comments or questions it’s best to email us…

Explanations
All those flags! For Pride we have 18 flags representing various aspects of the LGBTQIA+ community. We posted explanations and background on every flag plus an additional 16 pages of details. The attached PDF will give you all of that information. We hope this helps to bring to light a more complete view of what it means to be part of the Queer Community! We still have work to do on the flags, but once done, they are a permanent part of the front of our store! Details on Horsefeathers Pride Flags

Masks required on some days after 3-1-2022
This store policy replaces all previous mask policies. Per current CDC guidance if “community level” is low, masks are optional. If “community level” is medium, masks are recommended for high-risk people. Both the owner and manager of Horsefeathers, as well as many of our customers, are high risk. Each day we will check the CDC website to see what the community level is for Lake County IL. If it is low, masks are optional but preferred. We would love it if you wore a mask, but they are not required. If it is medium or higher, we will require masks in the store. Masks will be provided if you do…

Smudging Ritual
Smudging Ritual Hello! We had requests from some of you on how to use the various smudges that we have in the shop. Here is some information that will help you smudge your space! If you click on the title “Smudging Ritual” you can download a PDF of this information. The happiest spaces can accumulate negative energy over time, so it is helpful to smudge a few times a year; some smudge weekly. Also smudge your workspace periodically (preferably not during busy office hours), and use smudging to clear your own bodily energy or the energy of other people. Smudging is an ageless and sacred ritual; it should be performed…
