One of the great things about our weekly roundup of sales and events is that we try to hit all areas of the country. Sure, most of the sales are concentrated in the big cities, but increasingly we're getting events in other places — like this week's Ligne Roset Warehouse Sale in Dallas and the MCAD Art Sale in Minneapolis. And if we still haven't hit your neighborhood, there's always the online sales, too. Check it all out in the Weekend Guide, pass it on and send us your own sale or event. More
