Dans Papers - May 18, 2007 - Shop 'til You Drop

This was a very busy week - all the stores are filled with new merchandise and are getting ready for the spring and summer season. There are new shops opening and relocating, all with new fashions, accessories and home furnishings for indoor and outdoor activities. After all, Memorial Day is right around the corner. Let's do some shopping!

As you know, this store has the space to provide a giant selection of furnishings, accessories and complete decorating and design services, in an on-site custom workroom. There is so much to choose from at all their locations, so get an early start with this sale.

Hot off the press...after 30 years, Nancy & Co. has just relocated from Jobs Lane to 83 Main Street in Southampton. Of course, Nancy & Co., still has the same fine quality ladies fashions and accessories that they always had, and much more.

There's a little Bohemian in all of us! Bombay located in the Bridgehampton Commons, has stylish and trendy Bohemian, the chic bedding collection that is the perfect bedroom look for the girl of today who has an eye on the past! This vintage-looking collection features rich tonal pinks and purples (my favorite colors) with golden accents. And making it better than better, there is 40% off bedding and select merchandise.

Every time they visit, we go to Glorioso's for their newest wardrobe...fourteen-year-olds know just where to shop for sure!
