Thanks for the post! The prices were great, but I think it's best to go when it first opens. We got there around noon and were told that a lot of the "better" items had already been sold.
Still, we got lots of gifts and lots of things for our place.

Thanks for this post. I couldn't stop shopping. The stuff was great and the prices were really good too. Its a really interesting building as well.

This is a pretty cool thing. I went to it two years ago and walked out with two giant shopping bags full of gifts for the holidays and didn't spend more then $100. The cool part about it is she designs and produces for Pottery Barn, Dean and Deluca, Crate and Barrel. If I remember correctly, you have to get their early. When I was there, there were over 50 people waiting when the doors opened. Thanks for posting this. I am glad to know this is happeneing again.
