Patricia Raven is the owner of YaaYaa - Das Kultigbunte Kaufhaus, a gifting store in Saarbrücken, Germany. Inspired by nature, she believes in the power of blooming - both in life and in business. Through her work, she helps customers find joy and balance with meaningful and empowering gifts.
“I love being in nature, feeling its energy, smelling its scents, and finding strength and inspiration in it. For me, blooming means opening up and shining. One moment everything is grey and empty, and then suddenly, a crocus blooms. Every season and place has its own wonders.
“Blooming means opening up and shining.”
This natural diversity teaches me to keep growing and blooming in the present moment. Just like in nature, when I work with customers, I’m often surprised by what colors or shapes they find beautiful and empowering. It’s a joy to see them change over the years, and to see them embracing diversity and abundance.
It’s amazing how gemstones are brought from the darkness of the earth to shine in the light. Their colors make us feel good, giving us power and strength. Since discovering A Beautiful Story in 2019, I’ve loved this brand. Moonstone is my favorite, because it’s always reminding me to trust my intuition. But I also love Aventurine and Lapis Lazuli. Their colors connect me with the sky, clouds, and fields, helping me to stay balanced and joyful.”
