Waynesville Missouri’s Reading and Crafting Lounge

The Secret Sanctuary

A place that you can come to read, craft, and find new friends.

We welcome you to our home. Come join us to relax, read, curl up in a cozy chair, and enjoy your day.

We are like a mashup between a self-paced art shop and an airbnb without the sleepovers.

We ask all who would like to share the space to either bring proof of a background check through MACHS (Missouri Highway Patrol) or have us pull it for you.

Check our page on information about who is exempt from needing a background check and why we ask you have one.

Welcome to the Reading and Craft Lounge

You deserve a break from today, take an hour and enjoy some down time.

Hot Tea

Floral Loose Leaf & Packet Teas to choose from.

You can upgrade your tea to a soda or bottled water as well.

Soothing Skin Care Face Mask

Everyone is offered a 10 minute soothing skin care facemask upon arrival. Why not start with a bit of self-care?

Craft or Read

Choose from any of our books in shop (just under 500 currently) and read while you are here or grab the coloring supplies and enjoy a little mindful moment for yourself after your facemask.

If you want to make a candle, wax melts, paint on a canvas, make a diamond art bookmark or more you can add on additional crafts during your visit!

Self Care that is Self Paced

Would you like to see the space before deciding if you want to get the background check to shop, craft, and read in the space?
