Correction: I am sorry if I sent anyone on a wild goose chase looking for Christopher Fischer's sale last week (which ended on March 31). Christopher Fischer is located on Jobs Lane, not on Main Street and the website is christopherfischer.com. Also, the East Hampton store's sale room will be closing for the season.

Until next week. Ciao and happy early spring shopping!
