By the time Karen Alper, the proprietor of Enchanting Embellishments/Mary Ann’s Tearoom, realized that renovations on her storefront at 4732 McPherson were not going to be completed in time for a Fall 2015 opening, she had already placed orders for a full line of merchandise to stock the 2-story building. There was no turning back, shipments arrived, but the season had passed by the time the doors opened.
Starting today that stash of never-worn (never-even-tried-on) treasures is being offered at a liquidation sale at 4742 McPherson (formerly the home of Libby’s). Alper has enlisted the experienced crew from Libby’s to staff the pop-up, CWEnders Jan Kasalko, Peggy Morris and Mary Ann Libbert.
All clothing, including Canadian brands Joseph Ribkoff, Frank Lyman, Cartise and Simon Chang, is 40% off.
Furniture and decor has been reduced 50%.
Pants, leggings, and handbags are also marked down 40%. A selection of comforters (not shown) is half-price.
A large selection of jewelry, shown above, is 40% off.
Baby clothes (sized up to 18 months) and accessories are marked down 50%.
In the lower level you’ll find scads of artificial flowers and Christmas decorations, 75% off. A Xmas centerpiece with candleholders was originally $75 and is now $18. Some items are as low as $1.
As if this isn’t enough reason to stop by, you might also win a vacation to Cancun. Seriously! Ask Jan, Peggy or Mary Ann for details. I was so overwhelmed by the sheer volume of inventory that I didn’t have the capacity to grasp anything more.
Enchanting Attic, 4742 McPherson, is open everyday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
