Why
do we have hand thrown incense bowls and burning dishes? Because we
sell SHOYEIDO brand Japanese incense! SHOYEIDO is a three hundred year
old company that has been manufacturing first-quality incense for emperors
and nobility alike. They use the finest and purest forms of traditional
ingredients to create a product that is transcendant. There is no comparison
to the kiosk or head shop incense. The Japanese take their incense seriuosly:
they “listen” to it and reflect as the classic fragrances indulge their
senses and foment the emotional associations that wickedly delicious
smells are wont to do.

Seen to the left are a hodge podge of our stock: a bees wax candle, hand blown, iron ribbed glass candle holders, a miniature metal chair and a humanoid bending metal candle holder, both made of recycled steel. Some represent remnants of lines once carried, and some are truly collectible items from once thriving, now defunct manufacturers! (EMPORIUM: a retail store selling a great variety of articles) Why, we have some “estate sale” items of local interest on our shelves right now........................

We bought
the glass etagere seen here from a local gift shop that went out of
business in the eighties. There is a 20 year old Xmas cactus on the
top ( not shown and not for sale), but shown here are some hand blown
glass vases , steel, hand fashioned “twig” candle holders and a piece
of statuary. We recently sold our last in stock 22inch tall OBELISK.
An employee at our new, downtown branch of Barnes and Noble made the
purchase.( He also bought a frieze of Selket and a Naxian sphinx bookend.)

NOSTALGIC, perhaps, but Circles on the Square has a secret passion for manually reproduced images, and subsequently you may still shop among the hundred or so, personally selected RUBBER STAMPERS that we offer. While they last! |
