Even though we are on vacation, we have had a pretty busy go of it this past week. There has been a fair bit of travel, we've hit a few of our favorite spots, we have negotiated the sale of a house, the purchase of another, announced and made some plans for the moving of the shop.... but now we relax. We have reached our final vacation destination and will be spending the next few days relaxing in the Hamptons with good friends. After an early morning walk on the beach, we are ready to call that pool home from now until we head back to Canada. Yesterday we told you to expect some special things over the next month, and there is no time like the present. We haven't even told Marilyn yet, but we have decided to take some pretty significant markdowns on some pretty sensational pieces in the shop. We don't think these items will hang around too long, and that is our intent, so if you are interested, you might want to give Marilyn a call this morning.
