Ours too...Aurora , IL. I was at the outlet mall for Nike for my DS, and was walking pst VB to get there...I saw the huge crowd in the there and thought whaaaa? Is Vera herself in there? I squeezed myself in and then I saw....not only 50% off but reduced prices to boot, like 20% or more. THEN I saw current patterns in some items and man , was I wishing I had $$$$! I had bought a bunch of gifts during the last 50% sale (which wasn't that long ago) so I asked a girl working there and she said this is their "Summer Sale". Looks like a lot of Provencal, Lime's Up, Summer Cottage and Portabello Road..and like I said some things in the new patterns of TuttiFruiti, Sun Valley,Marina Paisley, Plum Crazy and Go Wild. Some items like the Grand Tote were ringing up under $25 and 3 pack make up bags were $17.I like the soft double eyeglass cases and those are $5 and regular wristlets are $10.. they make great gifts. Some of the Get Carried Away were $37.50, Miller Bag is $32.50, the wristlets that have a cell phone pocket were $15 and the blankets were $22.50! I caved and did get a blanket, I have been coveting one for a while, even before I know what/who VB was, lol...saw one in the store window and thought it was so pretty but no way was I paying $50. The fact that my pooch put a hole in the one I keep on the couch a few months ago "justified" my purchase.
There were tons of younger girls in there getting book bags, Grad gift's, wristlets~ everyone taking pictures to send to people they were shopping for, the line was nuts for the register. Ah well, I am happy with my blanket and we have a cold front so I can even use it right away!
