Strolling back to my real estate office in beautiful historic downtown McKinney, I stopped into Star Specialty Contempo. Their store front had signs that lured me in. What did these signs say? Circle E Candles - 20% off! For any of you who have heard of Circle E Candles, you know that these candles are by far the BEST smelling candles I've ever encountered. I could literally eat some of them with a spoon - they smell THAT good!
So I strolled in and made a bee-line back to the candle display. I smelled just about each one, not knowing which one would be lucky enough to accompany me back to the office. After all, I really need some more deductions on my taxes for 2009, and a candle is JUST the perfect and necessary "office supply" that I need (wink, wink)!
I chose the Honeysuckle candle. The label said it was good for aromatherapy purposes - it builds self esteem. So for crying out loud, what REALTOR doesn't want to build self esteem? I do! It was a no-brainer.
While checking out I visited with one of the owners, Linda Gentry. I looked at several of the other items her shop had to offer and I was impressed. I knew that I had to share this find with my clients and with other McKinney shoppers! Star Specialty Contempo also offers Crabtree & Evelyn products, Redolere fragrant oil lamps, the fun "drunken chicken cooker", and Timmy Woods handcarved purses! The collection was so interesting - offering something for everyone!
So the next time you are down on the square in McKinney, TX - stop by and say Hi to Linda. They are at 116 N. Tennessee on the East side of the square. Oh, and did I mention that they sell Circle E Candles LESS than anyone else on the square? Go shop!
