Everything in the lower level of the Patina gift shop in Highland Park (2057 Ford Parkway, St. Paul, 651-695-9955) is discounted 50 percent through Sunday. Store reps say that a lot of the merchandise is Christmas decor (ornaments and decorative accessories), but also many one-of-a-kinds, discontinued and overstocked merchandise. including jewelry, purses, wall art, furniture (end tables and coffee tables), stationery (cards and journals), scarves and kitchen items (glasses, textiles and hot pads).
The semi-annual clearance sales replace the outlet's occasional sales that used to be held on 18th Ave. NE. in Minneapolis.
Bibelot reps, why don't you have sales like this? Actually, I guess you do. Your summer sidewalk sale is a big deal too. Never mind. Guess I'm getting greedy about sales. The image below includes current, not sale, items at Patina.
FYI, this is probably my last blog post until Nov. 22. I'm on vacation Nov. 15-21. Until then,
John
