I love incense. It reminds me of the hippie head shops of my youth.
A blog about food, and a little about reading, and some sewing, and I might even knit something.

Were you a Hippie? I just can't picture it....but just in case Groovy.
Me too! Love the photo.
LOL! What an opposite memory it conjures up for me: the smell-spewing, priest-swung "burner" during Mass in Catholic school days (daze?) gone by! PEACE! (<-- click)
My husband, John is a martial artist, and we have quite an asian flavor in the household, so incense is a nearly everyday occurance.. but we use Japanese incense from a company that has been making i for hundreds of years... it is amazing stuff.. try going to www dot shoyeido dot com. You cannot believe the difference..
I wish incense didn't make me sneeze my brains out because I think it would make me feel zen to burn it.
That is one cool n spooky picture.
I'm growing the ponytail I never was allowed back then!
Groovy, Peace, and Flower Power! The only incense I've ever smelled is at Mass. As kids, my friends and I always liked it. I have no idea what type of incense it is though. Must have been absent that day in class! :-)
its so ca~
Great picture Pam!
Great photo! Thanks for the reminder that I have a drawer somewhere in the house with a stash of incense. It reminds me of fall. Thanks for sharing. Stacy
Mmm hmm. We can't smell what's really in there....
You know I said I was never a hippie and never wore bell bottom jeans. Then I found a picture my father-in-law took of my husband and myself and there I was in bell bottoms. Guess I shouldn't say "never say never."

I miss those hippie head shops.
I love incense too.....some :)Not all..
And I am catholic..and remember that incense very well..since I have smelled it even recently:)
I think I am too old for the shops you mention:)
But I wore and wear bell bottoms:) Cute post!
Thankfully, I don't remember the 60s - because I wasn't there.
Husband just said to me this week that it is time to start burning incense again. I'm a frankincense and Myrrh fan.
Very cool picture!
those were the days...
I light them in my house almost daily - I love them!
Incense? It's still used? Times are not changing. Love your soup from the previous post.
I love it too! That is a great shot!
gurgle gurgle gurgle
"What, Mom?"
[cough cough]
"No, that's just incense."
(I might have fractured a law or two as a younger person.)
A lot of people don't remember the '60's, and they WERE there.
Loved those head shops. One of my favorites from my youth is still there, in Ashland, Oregon.
Rare Earth.
More of a boutique shop, now, but with a hint of the history.

Far out! I love incense.
Head shops, soapstone carvings, Freak Brothers magazines. The 70s were heady times. :)
Alas I have no hippie head shops in my youth. But I love the image of you as a hippie!
frankincense and myrrh....reminded me of one of your funny stories from long ago.
Sounds like you would fit right in with my family. My parents used to live in a school bus on a commune!! You should see those pictures.
if you ever decide not to teach - you should shot. You are a great photographer!
