Hallmark still knows how to make those thoughtful, often gooey, knickknacks that tug at the heartstrings and end up collecting space on our dressers, desks and refrigerators. Whether it's a fuzzy poem, angel statue, Beanie Baby or stuffed puff ball with arms, we seem to find room for this often sentimental bric-a-brac. MacFrugal's Bargains Close-Out was the next choice.
Our Pick: DIAMOND'S TREASURES
9012 W. Sahara Ave.
This collectibles store, operated by former dancer Diamond Foss (her stage name was Diana Deane), offers a slew of goods including dolls, plates, stuffed animals, frames, movie star cardboard cutouts and Betty Boop figurines. Many of the items are related to the bygone, but not forgotten, days of entertainment such as Sinatra dolls and plates featuring the likeness of Lucille Ball. The true treasure, however, is the proprietor. Diamond, who appeared as one of the showgirls in the signature Las Vegas film, "Ocean's Eleven," is both patient and charming.
