kindergarten

While most schools in the community offer a full day kindergarten program, others do not. Please join me in helping to make a much needed donation towards the efforts of full day kindergarten within our community.

We’ll be donating 10% of our sales on Saturday, June 25th.

Need another reason to stop by this Saturday?

How about the fact that we just loaded up a sale table full of 30% off goodies. All Orla Kiely is on sale. As are Liz Kinder Ceramics, Luckyfish Tshirts, Graf & Lantz totes. Oh and, got a LivingSocial?  This will be the last weekend to use it before it expires.

And one of the best reasons to shop right now is to enter yourself in our June raffle. For just $10, you could walk away with an amazing Laura Zindel piece. All raffle proceeds will go to 826CHI.

So, come on along and join the fun and help support our neighborhood kids.

They’ll thank you for it in the long run.

Lemonade will be involved.

As always, thank you for shopping independently local.

Howdy, folks! It’s been a while. Quite a bit has happened since last we spoke. I’ve got so much to share with you in the coming weeks, but for now, I’ll leave you with this tiny tidbit.

Ten years ago I opened Virtu with a very different idea in mind. Today, so many seasons later, I hope that I have surprised you, thrilled you and enticed you in ways that even I had not dreamed of.

Well, surprise again! For this one day only, Wednesday January 19th, please enjoy 10% off throughout the entire store.

I’m feeling frisky. Feel free to take 10% off custom and special orders too.

So sorry, this offer does not apply to holiday sale merchandise, nor may it be combined with our LivingSocial offer.

New friends and old, let’s have a little fun today.

Out of town and shopping online? No problem. Just enter dieci in the comments section of your order. I’ll manually take care of the discount at checkout.

That was a shout out to you, Elizabeth!

As always, thank you for shopping locally. I can’t wait to see what the next decade will bring.

In fact, yes. All previous seasons of Orla Kiely are 40% off.

We’re expecting quite a shipment of the Fall collection later in the week. So….

Garden Tortoise Tote. Originally $440, now $264.

All remaining seasons of Orla Kiely are 40% off.

That said, we have a very limited stock on hand. Really limited, like only one of each design shown on our website. Curious if something is in stock? No problem. Just give us a call. We are always happy to help.

Three Color Stem in Fern Green

It seems as though many of you read the blog and an equal number of you missed our last weekend sale.

Soooo…..during this weekend’s Sidewalk Sale, I thought I’d put Orla back on sale for 20% off. Just in case you missed it the first time around. There’s one or two pieces left of each of the previous seasons. If you are looking for something specific, just give us a holler.

Don’t dilly dally! I don’t expect things to stick around for long.

lemonade

So we’re making lemonade.

The news has been pretty forthcoming about the state of Chicago Public Schools these days. The truth is, it affects all of us, even my own kid.

Many of you may know that our family was distraught over the limited arts education available publicly in school. In response, my dear husband opened the Color Wheel Studio down the street. Forgive me while I digress. I am supremely proud of him.

Back to the lemons at hand…In order to teach our school’s kids about how they can help make a difference, we’ve organized lemonade stands throughout the neighborhood with proceeds benefiting the classrooms. We will be hosting our own lemonade stands in the coming weeks during each Sidewalk Sale.

Join us for a cup of something cool and refreshing, won’t you? We’ll look forward to seeing you soon.

….the 2010 Sidewalk Sale Season. Woo hoo!

Saturday & Sunday, July 24th & 25th from 10 to 6.
Saturday & Sunday, August 28th & 29th from 10 to 6.

This year, I have a truly honest friend in the form of the lovely Marice telling me to let it go. Lots of things. Must get them out of the store. But I still love that, I say pointing to {….}. And so will you.

For those of you who happen to be a fan on Facebook, goody for you! There will be weekly Facebook only specials just for you between the two Sidewalk Sales. Not yet a fan? No problem. Just click the handy Facebook link from our homepage.

Saying Grace Paddywax Candles now $4. to $14.40 each.

After more than seven strong years with the Paddywax collection, I’ve decided to go exclusively local with our candles.

Come next month, Virtu will begin stocking three series of candles from our dear friends at Crash. They’re the folks that make Snow & Graham’s candles, ZUZ candles, and something that I have been dying to tell you about for two months now. The wait is almost over my patient friends. We’ll debut a brand new series in just a few weeks. Hold tight and stay tuned….

For now, please help me make some room for what’s to come by enjoying 20% off the entire Paddywax line. Favorite fragrances like Bamboo and Green Tea, Cinnamon Wood & Honey, and the full series of travel tins are here for just a little while longer. Come on over and grab some while you can.


Orla Kiely Orla Kiely Pear Notebook now $12.

Surprisingly, this season, Orla Kiely’s paper unit decided to call it quits. Do not fret! The bags are perfectly safe and sound. Come Spring, we’ll have a whole new collection of handbags, wallets, computer sleeves, and…wait for it…diaper bags! Stay tuned.

For now, please enjoy some very hip notebooks and cards at 20% off.
