Their final sale is from July 8th to 12th and they're advertising savings of from 75% to 95%. I have gotten some incredible deals there, including crystal ornaments, originally priced at $12.99 for 49¢. I bought some pewter vases for $2.00 that were originally about $25 each. Here's a post about some of my great deals. Most of their furniture is too big for my house, but their smaller things were great deals!
Here are the details of the sale, with times and directions.
It’s the 4th of July and I am at home with Connor, who is deathly afraid of fireworks and is drugged to the gills. He’s joined by his puppy-pal, Halas, who is a bit better with fireworks.
I am pirating a signal from a neighbour’s unsecured wireless service, and it’s nice to have some access – even if it is limited.
This morning, I went to a local parade right in one of the downtown neighbourhoods. 
Even though it’s in the middle of the city, it had that small –town feeling. 
Everyone in the neighbourhood, along with their friends, parades around the block, 
up on to Federal Hill 
and then back to the starting point.
After the parade, there were games for the kids, including egg races, limboing and water balloon tossing and hula-hooping contests. 
Everyone dresses for the day in red, white and blue 
and decorates their houses accordingly. 
I hope you had a safe and happy holiday!
As the United States celebrates its 233rd birthday, I'd like to wish everyone a safe and happy day, regardless of where you live!
When I got home yesterday, my internet wasn't working, so I did all the things that usually re-start it, and it still didn't work. So I took a stiff drink and called Verizon. After about 10 minutes of voicemail hell, I finally got "Joe" who is probably really Sidhar in India. He was perfectly pleasant, according to his script, but couldn't solve my problem.
After several mojitos, I finally called back, only to be disconnected again. The third time, after more than an hour and a half on the phone, I got the service person to agree to come tomorrow, and to even narrow down the time to a four hour block, instead of the original 13 hour time-frame they offered. 
The other day, I wrote about the upcoming film of Alice in Wonderland with Tim Burton directing. Yesterday, as I was scouring the books Coterie had brought to Baltimore to donate to the Book Thing, I found a book which just called out to me. It's called A Book of Books, by Abelardo Morell. It is mainly the photographs of Mr. Morell with various quotations about books as a counterpoint to the images. 
Morell has taken these illustrations and combined them with some books and other props to make a three-dimensional image. 
Guess who I ran into at Book Thing this morning? David Hicks! He was sitting on one of the top shelves mingling with hoi polloi in the Hobbies section. I am sure he would have been mortified to have been there, rather than in the Gardening & Horticulture section which is just adjacent to the Design & Decorating section. 
He was partially hidden inside a copy of his Book of Flower Arranging, so it was a good thing I spotted him. He will join several of his siblings, now sitting on my shelves.
You see, she used to work for a NY publisher and had brought bags and bags of books down to Baltimore to donate to Book Thing. She was exceedingly kind and let us grab what we wanted before she made her donation. 
Some will eventually make their way to BT, but some others are keepers.
JB does major flower installations at some of Baltimore's museums and top events, so the scale of his things is HUGE. 
JB also has a green thumb, as evidenced by the window boxes on his classic townhouse. He has a huge urn in front of his house where I noticed some white eggplants growing.
These acid green ceramic vases would be perfect for summer flower arrangements. 
These cranberry glass vases could also be used to hold a pillar candle. 
A huge assortment of candlesticks of all heights and styles. I have several of these which were gifts from friends. 
Another candle holder... he bears the weight of a single candle on his shoulders. Are you sensing a theme here? 
A chandelier for candles. If I had a big tree in my back garden, you can bet I would have purchased this. 
Tag sales, yard sales, antique and thrift shops are all good ways of being green.Read about other great thrifty treasures on Southern Hospitality!
It was held a few days before I left to go to the UK, and so I wasn't in the mood to spend lots of dosh. But I got word this morning that JB is having another sale featuring garden accessories, urns, votives, lanterns, crystal props and "a lot of other great stuff".
