So many events

There are a few events on the “shopping front” in coming days that I wanted to pass along.
I’ll keep it short and sweet, so you can read quickly — and then go shop!
Pam Older of Larchmont, a jewelry designer, has let me know she’s doing a trunk show from 4 to 8 p.m. tomorrow at Wondrous Things in Croton-on-Hudson. She’ll be showcasing her fall collection — there are some lovely designs in colors perfect for the season — while also working to promote breast-cancer awareness. The store is at 4 Old Post Road South. For more details, call 914-271-3044.
The Pearl River Chamber of Commerce will hold the inaugural Pearl River Day festival from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday. It’s designed like a big “block party,� with Central Avenue (from John to Main streets) and North Main Street (to Franklin Avenue) closed to traffic. There will be a farmers’ market, music, demonstrations, children’s activities, a fashion show and even appraisals of antiques. Pearl River’s filled with great shops, so make sure to stop by a few of those, as well.
JoEllen Finnie of New Rochelle, one of my favorite antiques dealers — she specializes in vintage clothing, accessories and jewelry — is set to participate in the Manhattan Vintage Clothing & Antique Textile Show & Sale, to be held Friday and Saturday at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan. It’s from 1 to 8 p.m. Friday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday. Stop by, at 125 W. 18th St., and say hello to this New Rochelle lady.
The All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Briarcliff Manor is holding its “Fabulous Fall Sale� from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday on the church grounds, at 201 Scarborough Road (at Old Briarcliff Road). Expect antiques and collectibles, jewelry and gifts, as well as appliances, linens and other housewares. There will also be small furniture, sports equipment, tools and toys. Admission is free. Call 914-941-6955.
Finally, for those of you wondering about the huge tag sale usually held this month at Lyndhurst, you haven’t just missed the signs for it. I checked in with the organization that ran and benefitted from the sale — Planned Parenthood-Hudson Peconic — and found out that the organization has ended the 35-year-old tradition. Wow. I will never forget the first time I went to the show and at opening, literally saw people hopping over shrubs to get to the merchandise. Oh well, I’m told an auction and jewelry boutique will be held in place of its longtime fund-raiser; it’s expected to happen in April, so I’ll let you know when I get details.
