That time again

September
26

I got a postcard on Monday, letting me know that the fall sale at one of the region’s most stylish stores — Fairground Attraction in Mount Kisco — was about to begin.

I’ve worked with the shop’s owners, sisters Joan-Marie and Nancy Gonzalez, a few times over the years, featuring their merchandise and tapping into their expertise in home-design topics.

Well, yesterday — this latest sale’s first day — kind of got away from me, so I had to settle for checking in with them mid-afternoon and making a plan to stop by this morning.

And I’m glad I did.

After all, the fall sale is featuring discounts of 20 to 70 percent off select merchandise.

And arriving on the second day didn’t seem to matter, based on what I saw (and bought) today.

Take a look around the shop, for a general feel of what’s always on offer:

As you can see, the shop features an eclectic mix of items for the home, as well as great gifts. There are pillows and jewelry, frames and topiaries, bowls and books.

The sale items are dotted throughout the store, but this charming vintage gate (just $20) caught my eye soon as I stepped inside:

Sure that won’t last for long.

This sale also features a number of items that are included for the first time.

Among them are holiday items (shop early!):

Selections from the existing stock of Barbara Eigen pottery, which the store has long featured:

And Jamie Young lamps:

Here’s just a glimpse of what else is on sale:

Quilts are a specialty here, too, with lots marked down:

As you can see, there’s plenty to go around.

Among my finds? I did pick up a gift or two — but this was a treat for myself, a funky Murval (!!) bag with faux trim.

As you know, I am of the “you-can-never-have-too-many-bags school” … and at $5, can you blame me?

Hope you find some treasures, too, as the sale continues through Oct. 6.

Fairground Attraction is open from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays.

It’s at 145 E. Main St.

Call 914-241-4433.
