The Thrill of the Hunt!

The District Sample Sale isn’t the only boutique-sale show in town when it comes to bargains on boutique items. This weekend, a roster of top Alexandria designers and boutiques will offer steep discounts (up to 90% off) at the 4th annual Old Town Boutique Warehouse Sale. It’s Saturday from 9 AM til 3 at the Masonic Temple (100 Callahan Drive, Alexandria, Virginia 22301), and best of all, it’s FREE to attend. You have to wake up early on a Saturday though (uhmmm, I didn’t not wake up at 1 p.m. last Saturday…..). Wear layers with a form-fitting base garment because I’m pretty sure you just have to try things on right there as you walk around.

Vendors include Hysteria, Treat, Tickled Pink, The Shoe Hive, Gossypia, The Little Monogram Shop, Queen Bee Designs, Remix Vintage, Mystique Fine Jewelry, Bella of Old Town, Periwinkle, and Appleseed Maternity.

Worth waking up for? Has anyone ever been to this? I’m curious….

    I have been every year. Great stores and the deals really are that good. Especially for Lilly Pulitzer and Shoe Hive. Can’t wait for this year. I will be waiting in line starting at 8:30 – Lord help me!

    I have been to this event every year when it was the Campagna Center – when it was only
    Shoe Hive, Hysteria, and ultimately Periwinkle. I think it is wonderful they have expanded and moved to a bigger space. This was my little secret and now I’m bummed because everyone seems to know about it. Get there early. Amazing deals and free!

    Absolutely wonderful sale! Got the best things from Lilly Pulitzer – $300 jacket for $25! Queen Bee had beautiful things at wholesale prices – I scored 2 necklaces for the price of one! Can’t wait for DSS tonight…
