Art opening tonight
Victoria Landis, (my friend), is the owner of Harem.
She sells tribal rugs, ornate ethnic clothing, jewerly, East India bedspreads, lamps and
pillows and more. Before Christmas gets here..... You should stop by
and pick up some special beautiful gifts. She's delightful. And she can teach belly dancing too!!!
Everything is hand made, you know, all those rugs are hand knotted (80 to 130 knots per Sq inch, imagine) in mysterious foreign lands, you have to go see for yourself,.Take a bundle of money along (or cards) and buy lots of presents at Harem. Lets make sure Victoria stays in business, small retailers are having a hard time!
Tagine on the table in green .. a cooking utensil from Morocco.. I really need a tagine!
( I know you're wondering why I don't make one? Cause I have to get a real tagine from Morocco!
Of course!
Below is the wait person at Dilettante,, she is precious.. always waits on me..
Harem, and The Dilettante...
Cool place. Victoria at Harem at Capitol Hill in Seattle across from
Deluxe Bar and Grill next to the Harvard Exit Theatre, and near Quest

Now if I can locate Dar Salaam who also lost space, in the market, tho.. Moroccan bazaar. I really wanted a domed tagging that he had.
