We're pretty crazy about The Loom Company and all the different lines this manufacturer's rep handles. We always see them at the Gift Show and always find things that we want to write up in our sundry magazines. And when there's a sample sale at The Loom Company, you can bet that it's the real deal -- a real sample sale. That is to say, they are truly selling samples, and overruns, and extra stock, and seconds, and you-name-it. We always hustle on down to the sale, and this is the perfect time for you to play Santa yourself and stock up on great goodies for your friends at VERY good prices. (CASH ONLY, Kids!)

Expect to find goods from John Derian (ah, that master découpager), Hable Construction (can anyone do MORE with felt than these guys?), and tons of other names you might or might not know but who all make very tasteful goods. So go to the take-out bank (that's the cash machine for those of you who were born yesterday) and get some green stuff and get down there! The early bird catches a lot of worms here.

Thursday and Friday, the 29th and the 30th, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 1140 Broadway, Suite 1602 (between 26th & 27th Sts.).
