Hi everyone,
my birthday is coming up mid-January and my sister and I are wanting to take a little road trip around Nor-Cal and find some fantastic and/or terrific :) bellydance stores. I know about Empress in Placerville and while it is a wonderful store, the only thing i can purchase there is a hip scarf since nothing else fits me (or my sister). As I have a multitude of hip scarves I would like to find some stores that carry bellydance supplies that are above a size small. I have really gotten into sword dancing lately and would LOVE to find a store with dancing swords since I am a bit reluctant to purchase that kind of an item online. My sister and I are more tribal than cabaret but love a little of everything.
So I am looking to all of you to throw me out some names or towns that have supplies at the ready. PLEASE!!!! Also, if anyone can tell me if they have ordered from Audrena (online store) or visited Cost Less Beads in Berkeley and if they are reputable places to go through I would truly appreciate it.
I live just outside of Stockton and don't mind driving, we're planning on making it a day trip or maybe stay overnight in an inexpensive hotel if need be so throw out as many suggestions as come to mind...
Thank you ladies soooooo much in advance I know it is going to be a truly magical birthday trip!
Happy dancing, Tracy
P.S. Feel free to include mystical/wiccan/pagan shops as well, we love those too!!!!!!
