Mary Liz Curtin of Leon & Lulu in Clawson Shares Tales from the Road

Leon & Lulu in Clawson is truly the store for everybody and nobody at the same time.

Some people come from around southeastern Michigan to simply have a cup of coffee with a close friend, explained co-owner Mary Liz Curtin, while others buy from the store's massive collection of stuff collected from around the globe.

Curtin shared some of her favorite places to buy from, at a Blair Memorial Library program which filled the room on Monday night.

There, not only did Curtin share her experiences from around the world, she also gave a well-received history of her store in Clawson and a look at the future of Leon & Lulu.

So, where do all of the fun things that fill the former Ambassador Roller Rink site come from in the first place? Here are a few of Curtin's haunts:

• High Point Market (High Point, NC, USA)
• Las Vegas Market (Las Vegas, NV, USA)
• New York International Gift Fair (New York, NY, USA)
• Macef – International Home Show (Milan, Italy)
• Peru Gift Show (Lima, Peru)
• Maison et Objet (Paris, France)
