Official LAST last days at MEW!

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

ok so i guess we were kidding when we said last sat/sun were our last days over at Mew Gallery.

well ok, they were supposed to be but we just have so much stuff left over that we are extending our liquidation sale a bit.

Friday Jan 15 & Sat Jan 16 are our final, final, FINAL  days.  That’s TOMORROW and the day after that, folks! Consider this your absolute LAST CHANCE to take home a little piece of Mew with you.

Prices are slashed (all merchandise is $5 and under!!!) and we do still have some good finds to rummage through.  T-shirts! jewelry! cards and stationary! clothing! display lighting! jewelry displays! prints, prints and more prints!!!

we also still have a selection of awesome fixtures that are a little over $5 including:

a vintage metal rolling/collapsable large (36″ diameter) clothing rack, custom built computer/cash register counter unit with built in shelves, drawers and display case- great for home office or commercial use!, hand-built 2-tier suspended tree branch clothing rack, and an industrial stainless steel 3 bin Eagle sink- great for commercial use or for any artist studio!

once again, LAST chance THIS FRI and SAT!!!

Benefit for my dear friend Dave

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Hi everyone,

a year ago my friend Dave found out that he has brain cancer. Two surgeries, and multiple treatments later, he’s still going strong in his battle, but since the war with cancer is not cheap, a few friends are putting together a great big benefit to raise money to help offset some of the costs, and well, just to show him how much we love him.

even if you do not know him personally, your support would be greatly appreciated. Please come out if you can make it, and help spread the word  if you can’t.

thanks,

Carolynne
