We've been shopping and chatting at Off the Beaten Path for almost a year now. The owner, Salathiel Palland is a delight...charming and inviting. Her store carries a great mix of Steampunk and fantasy, and I must admit I've gotten quite an education on all that is Steampunk. Off the Beaten Path is now part of my nickel tour when I want to show visiting family & friends Farmington's cool destinations.
