You may not have heard of Celestial Blue in Oshkosh. It is a small store on Waugoo just a block off of Main Street, near Atomic Katz. You can call it a New Age store, they call it that on their web site. I finally stopped in this store for the first time on Christmas Eve, looking for last minute presents for my family. I found a four inch tall glass-like cat with sort of a Miyazaki style design that was a Geomancy charm. The cat is holding a stone, and you are supposed to face it in a certain direction in your home for good luck. I don't know about the Geomancy, but the figurine was cute and I thought the missus would think it was amusing (and under $10).I went back there with the missus to look for birthday presents for our daughter's sixth birthday. We got her a purple wooden mobile that had a sun on one side, moon on the other, with stars hanging down from the center piece. It was all hand painted, and only $15. We thought it would look great in her room, it matched her decor. She liked it.
Celestial Blue looks pretty simple when you first enter, like it would be easy to just get what you came for and leave, but both times I've been there I've found myself just wandering around, looking at all of the interesting stuff. It has all sorts of things, from figurines to incense, CDs and original art, tapestries and mobiles. And it really isn't expensive at all.
I should add that the owner is a Reiki Master, and they offer Reiki Services among others. Reiki is a Japanese form of stress reduction and relaxation. I've never tried it but I thought I would mention it.Did I like what I got there? Yes.
Would I go back? Yes.
Would I shop there every week? Not likely.
Would I recommend it to friends and family? Yes!
Did they pay for this promotion of their store? No!
There you go - Celestial Blue, a cute little shop downtown on 25 Waugoo.
