I took a stroll downtown this weekend to say goodbye to our best rug store and hello to two new shops on Broadway. Ghamarian Oriental Rug Company is preparing to close by holding live auctions this weekend. The last one is today at 1 pm. Two new shops opened on Broadway: A Little Touch of Magick and Millesime Designs. I also stopped by Nanette's to see what new treasures she has right now. Please enjoy my little virtual shopping tour of downtown Tacoma. I hope you will follow in my footsteps and go see these places yourself. If you do, be a doll and tell them the Duchess of Downtown sent you. :) I'd also like to point out the cute little search field in the upper right hand corner of this screen. What we are building here is a online database of products you can buy downtown. Type in something you want to buy and any blog in which that item is mentioned will come up! I hope you will use this resource to help you shop local and support our local businesses. OK! Let's s...
