came off as cluttered with a dose of hodgepodge. It was difficult to showcase particular items. That’s changed, especially with important accessories such as rugs. “We now have one room devoted to rugs,” Hawkins explained. “We have one rack of 8’ x 10’ rugs and another of 5’ x 7’. I’ve made a concentrated effort to offer a variety of quality, style, and design. The goal is to keep my established clientele of 50-year-olds-and-up satisfied, while also drawing in newer and younger customers. To do that, I’ve stocked rugs from machine-made to hand-knotted. We have a number of styles, including a lot of distinctive southwestern motifs.”
