Dan's Papers - March 7, 2008 -

This is the time of year that we are in between wardrobes, thinking about the garden, hoping it will warm up sooner than later and get our beach chairs out and picking up late winter sales and early spring fashions. Let's do some shopping!

With spring around the corner, at Little Lucy's Canine Couture Boutique at 91 Jobs Lane in Southampton there are many new spring items on the agenda. To make your pet's Easter special, Patricia is carrying vintage inspired squeaky toys in a variety of characters, along with a collection of deliciously "iced" spring inspired biscuits. The biscuit flavors are made in wheat free peanut butter, cheddar cheese, banana and blueberry, in tulip, daisy and bunny shapes; they will be available by March 10. How about Fido loving the new chicken and parmesan training treats that are also available just in time to fill his or her Easter basket. Custom-made doggie baskets are also available. For information call 631-287-2352.

Sunrise to Sunset The Beach Lifestyle Store at 36 Hill Street in Southampton is having their half price "Winter Clearance Sale" on fall and winter clothing.

As usual, there is always a little bit of everything in this store, it's hard not to shop here.

Entre Nous nicely located at 37 Newtown Lane in East Hampton has started the spring season with sensational striped shirts from Italy. There are still plenty of super sale markdowns from 50-80% that make much of the classic European clothing affordable to the chic on a budget. This great sale continues through March.

At Sylvester & Co., on Main Street in Sag Harbor, where I usually stop for a great cup of coffee while I browse the shop, you will enjoy everything that is on the shelves.

Until next week. Ciao and happy end of winter shopping!
