Spree: Some retail proprietors don't care much for the lingering, "I'm just looking," sort of patron. Not so with Erin Mara and Henriette Fourcade, owners of Homebody, "outfitters for contemporary living." Rather, they'd like you to think of their shop -- offering a dizzying range of items, from greeting cards to Gus* furniture -- as something much more inviting. "It's like an interestingresting gallery/living room," says Mara. "I've never liked high-end stores full of pretension. We're trying to create a relaxing environment." They're also trying to help the community with events such as an upcoming fundraiser for One In Ten, this Saturday, June 27, featuring musician Laura Tsaggaris. Stop by for some tunes, exotic teas, a table or nearly anything else you can think of to feather your nest, at 715 Eighth St. SE. Hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m. Call the shop at 202-544-8445, send e-mail to contactus@homebodydc.com, or visit online at www.homebodydc.com.
