Dan's Papers - September 26, 2008

Although things are pretty quiet out east and the traffic has died down quite a bit, people are shopping as usual. The stores are trying to sell off their summer merchandise to make room for fall and winter, so the sales are good. Let's do some fall shopping!

I found a very unique and exclusive to the East End Clock Shop at 48A West Montauk Highway in Hampton Bays, called Daughter Time, that I would like to share with my readers. I have a beautiful wall clock that I call a "Grandmother Clock" that was in dire need of maintenance and repair, so I took it to see the clock doctor, Alex Joseph. He quickly gave me the entire lowdown on what we have to do to keep our clocks ticking and chiming, so I left my precious possession with him. The store also offers sales and repairs on all clocks, installs watch batteries and crystals while you wait, and sells watchbands and wristwatches. Right now, there is a 20% off sale on Eco-Drive Citizen watches with solar power. For information, call 631-728-7075.

If you are getting ready for fall parties and get-togethers, stop in at Fandango, on Main Street in Hampton Bays, for a look at the new fall lineup in women's clothing and accessories. Love, love this shop.

The stores are making room for the arrival of the new Annie Selke Home line from Vanguard furniture, a collection of new upholstery and case goods designed by Annie Selke, the founder and creative force behind home design trio Pine Cone Hill, Dash & Albert, and Potluck Studios. Broken Colour Works has the exclusive on this exciting new line for Sag Harbor and Southampton, so don't pass this one by.

The amazing and fantastic 50% off sale at Victoria's Mother, on the walkway at 64 Jobs Lane, Southampton, is continuing along nicely and there is still plenty of stock left, with many treasures to be had. Victoria's Mother is closing and is saying to all her friends and customers with a heavy heart, "Goodbye, it's been good to know you sale."
