Shop ‘til You Drop...
With Maria Tennariello
Spring is almost here and the shops are starting to buzz with sales, allowing room for brand new inventory. Stores are re-locating from one town to another and new shops are starting to appear. I took my grandson, Anthony, on a shopping trip with me this week, just because he loves to do what his mom and I love to do…shop! Let’s do some late winter, early spring shopping!
Mata Hari of Bali, located in the Shopping Cove on Main Street in Sag Harbor, has been there for twenty-five years. Bibi, the owner, is phasing out her inventory and everything must go with a Super Sale that is in progress until the end of March. There is a huge selection of unique jewelry that is being sold at 30 to 40% off. All gifts and artifacts, textiles and more are 50% off. With so much to choose from, a little excursion to the shopping cove will be worth the trip for sure.
At Hildreth’s on Main and West Main Streets in Southampton and on Pantigo Road in East Hampton, there is a “lowest price of the year” sale with up to 37% off on Lloyd Flanders wicker and plantation grown teak. And just in time for spring, Hildreth’s new Children’s Department just received their inventory on Clay-Mates (the tiny, real porcelain creatures) for the collector in the family. There are farm and zoo animals, dinosaurs, woods, sky, water and misfit pieces available, made to include your thoughts, love and warmth. These make a great Easter gift for adults and children of all ages. Anthony bought one for his mom!
Renaissance on Main Street in Southampton, has it all going on for spring. This shopper-friendly store is a great source for unusual and unique items that include a special line of jewelry for everyone on your gift list, including yourself. The shop is having a sale with 50% off select merchandise, including scarves, skirts, dresses, tops, hats and so much more. Get shopping!
At Casual Home on County Road 39 in Southampton, look for a “floor sample” sale that is happening right now on cozy, comfy furniture and accessories. Each day this store gets new merchandise to replace what went out the door the day before. Rhonda is constantly moving and replacing her inventory just so you can get the best deals. And for your convenience, you can enter Windows & Walls Unlimited right next door through Casual Home for a one-stop-and-shop experience.
In the Bridgehampton Commons, there is a great sale in progress at the Athletes Foot on selected clothing that is selling for as low as $10. There is also a “new year” shoe sale with a price tag of $20. Other sales reflect 40% off winter gloves and 50% off winter boots. Of course I got one of each for Anthony. I can’t resist his smile.
Nearby at the Body Shop, which is also in the Commons, there are some specials popping up that include “buy one, get one free” on mix and match facial and skin care products. Now is the time to stock up for summer……
Do not pass by Ann Taylor Loft, which is also in the Commons, without taking advantage of the spring sale on a great selection of $10 pants……Guess how many I purchased?
Bombay is doing it again……The “spring home sale” is offering up to 40% off on furnishings, lighting, wall décor, bedding, table tops, and accessories. Check out the “what’s new” inventory that has just arrived.
On Main Street in Bridgehampton and Main Street in Southampton at Compliments, there is a huge sale on selected merchandise for the charming and discreet woman. Look for all types of lingerie, nighties, pajamas, sexy undies and lots of accessories for all ages.
The day of shopping turned out great, the weather was delicious and Anthony and I did a bit of shopping……We ended the day with a burger at Ocean Grille on Main Street in Bridgehampton where you can get a great burger with all the trimmings for $10……what a deal to end the day with.
ON THE NORTH FORK: “March Massage Madness” is in progress at the Atlantis Health Network’s Massage Therapy Center newest location in Riverhead. They want to give you the opportunity to relax and enjoy a thirty-minute massage that is regularly $45 for $29. Hey, at this price you can get one twice a week! Get massaging……
For a one-location shopping experience check out Cellar Door Stain Glass for individual designs completed in your home using fine reproductions of Tiffany glass and Frank Lloyd Wright reproductions of windows and Tiffany lamps. Call 631-727-2682. The Picture Barn makes custom frames and its gallery has art for all enthusiasts. Custom framing is completed on premises. Call 631-727-0348.
