20 years ago Tawny's Curio would have been written off as a an interesting 'cultural' shop specializing in hand made crafts, objects d'art, and other knick knacks. Of course, now more people in the know can identify the objects of power, talismans and fetishes inherent in the magical community. Tawny Arlington is the daughter of the famed Mage Melanie de'Louis of Newport. She inherited her mothers gifts and struck out on her own with her friend Rebecca, and eventually her husband Kyle in Seattle. It is also said that the Curio is the public face for a Lodge housed by the Interurban building upstairs, but obviously. only members could confirm this.
While there are many other shops in the greater Metro Seattle area, the Curio has a reputation for quality.
