• Stocking Stuffers a la Georgetown

     

    I am fortunate enough to live in Georgetown – an urban village in DC with cobblestone streets, historic

     architecture, charming restaurants and fabulous shopping – the perfect setting for Christmas.  So

    as things quiet down, I'm going to grab a latté, enjoy my city, and pick up stocking stuffers from my

    favorite vendors.  Below are nine items you may want to pick up for yourself.  But buyers beware,

    some of these items are one of a kind and I may have already beaten you to the punch.  ; )
