Around Town... Down To Earth

Welcome to the wondrous apothecary Down to Earth. If you visit their website you will find their many aromatics, but to really experience what they have to offer you must step inside the store located in The Cotton Exchange (a former cotton mill). The store is a mystical delight of the senses. In addition to a vast array of aromatic items they have beautiful jewelry, statues, jars, kimonos, figurines, pendulums and more.

As you walk through the front door you will be tempted by the Buddha Board and directly to your right perking out from the displays is an enchanting dryad. The owners and staff will greet you with a smile and answer any questions you may have about the multitude of products. Watch out, you will have so much fun chatting with these lovely ladies time will slip right past you. They are also great at helping you pick out and put together gifts.


Let’s take a stroll around the store (and as always if you see anything you like that is not on the website contact them and they will be happy to help you).














Several people have asked on past Around Town Posts if I take the pictures you see and the answer is yes. With my little point and shoot camera I try to capture as much of the stores for you as I can.

    Guess I'll be bringing a ton of cash with me this summer...

    Actually I will be there April 10! We're taking our church singles group for a steamboat cruise.

  4. Diane- make sure you bring your walking shoes too this summer.

    Your cruise sounds fun, that's Azalea Festival Weekend. Be prepared for traffic & craziness. You'll have a blast!
