I miss Natural Wonders. When I was a kid, the local mall had a Natural Wonders store just around the same time that I was going through a rock-collecting phase -- I'm sure I tormented my relatives by dragging them into Natural Wonders every time they took me to the mall. If I recall correctly, they started getting more sciencey and less...New Agey...right around the time they closed down. The Boyfriend will probably disown me for admitting that the sciencey stuff held no appeal for me -- I wanted the rose quartz and tigers eye and copper jewelry, not some telescope! I began to lose interest, we didn't go to the mall as much, and the next thing I knew, Natural Wonders was gone. I think they put a Sweet Factory in its old place.
