On Oct. 19, I attended the Shipley School's Shipley Shops Preview Party, which kicked off a weekend-long shopping extravaganza. As expected, the event was phenomenal, and I ended up buying plenty of goodies for myself. Below are five of my favorite vendors.
The public is invited to shop Oct. 20-22. A special Family Fun Day is scheduled for Oct. 22, featuring PNC's Arts Alive Mobile and a meet-and-greet with two players from the Philadelphia Union. Plus, there’s no admission charge on Saturday.
Chances are still available to win a pair of 2011 Vespas, which I checked out and fell in love with. I certainly can imagine cruising down Lancaster Avenue on one! All proceeds from the event benefit the Shipley School in Bryn Mawr.
$10 adults; $5 seniors; free under age 18. Visit shipleyschool.org/shipleyshops or call (610) 525-4544.

When I'm not in front of the computer, chances are you’ll find me engaged in some serious retail therapy along the Main Line. With ShopTalk, my goal is to provide the latest on store openings, products, sales, trunk shows and more. I'll also delve into the local spa and beauty scene. Have a favorite boutique, salon or spa?
