Black Indie Friday
Posted by Leilani Polk on Fri, Nov 28, 2008 at 4:00 AM
Lots of glossy flyers in the paper, an abundance of advertisements on TV, and websites like BlackFriday.Net, BlackFriday.Info, and Black Friday Ads to guide you on the big box retailers, here's a few local indies that are offering their own post-Turkey Day deals.
ARTpool Gallery and Boutique holds a Black Friday Sale, with 50 percent discounts on men and women's vintage clothing and $50 gift certificates for $25. Noon-5 p.m., St. Petersburg.
Mojo Books and Music opens early and offers 20 percent off all used merchandise and 10 percent off new merchandise (books, music, CDs, vinyl, DVDs and pop culture goodies -- posters, figurines, t-shirts and more). Surprise buy-1-get-1-free and buy-2-get-1-free deals are scattered in random sections throughout the store, and all Mojo punch cards used between 9 a.m. and noon get an early shopping bonus -- instead of the usual one stamp for every $10 you spend, you get two. 9 a.m.-8 p.m., Tampa.
Second Image Thrift Store is also getting in on the Black Friday sales bug with half-off sales on all clothing except boutique items, 25 percent off shoes, and 25 percent off jewelry; sales on books and other items TBA. You can also print out a $5-off coupon at the website. 9 a.m.-6 p.m., Tampa.
Perfume World, a family owned and operated designer fragrance retailer in Westshore Plaza, offers 20 percent off select fragrances with a special Black Friday ad that's actually good through Dec. 10. 10 a.m.-9 p.m., Tampa.
A new store in St. Petersburg, Higher Self Gifts and Tea, stages its grand opening celebration today and offers a storewide sale on its merchandise -- oraganic teas, blown glass, local art, jewelry, footwear, oils and incense, clothing and more. Regular Friday hours are 11 a.m.-8 p.m.; tonight's party with a tea tasting, live art demos and music takes place from 5 to 9 p.m.
Today and tomorrow, Twice as Nice -- a quaint upscale ladies boutique located in a bungalow in downtown Dunedin -- offers 40 to 50 percent discounts on apparel and gifts throughout the store. 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Dunedin.
The Designer's Consigner offers various in-store specials, including 20 percent off the current price of all black items. 11 a.m.-7 p.m., St. Petersburg.
Hula Hula hosts a Holiday Sale of tropical gifts -- retro flamingo pattern tablecloths and napkins, lotions, bath gels, Hawaiian perfumes, and plenty elses. Mention you heard about the sale on LocalShop1.com and get a 10 percent discount. (Thanks to LocalShop1 for this one.) Noon-6 p.m., Gulfport.
Who've I forgotten? I'm certain there's places I've left out. If you know about a sale at a local indie store that takes place today or even this weekend, leave your suggestions below.

Got this email from Vinyl Fever! Twenty-five + years in the Vinyl Fever business has allowed me the opportunity to amass a pretty decent record collection. Every so often I have to weed some things out to make room for the new, and I started to do so this past week, so you could have some fresh, one-of-a-kind treasures available to buy without having to get caught up in eBay bidding wars. Tonight I hit a few of my blues and R&B shelves. Once I got it more organized, I found some dupes of albums that I normally would not let go of in a million years- Syl Johnson, Little Walter, Professor Longhair, John Lee Hooker, Otis Redding (Otis Blue, no less!) and Funkadelic are a few examples of what I'm talkin' about. I intend on doing this throughout the holiday season. Not a hype-y "Black Friday" gimmick, but the kind of musical substance we try to make consistent at Vinyl Fever. After all, we are in the sharing-of- music-we-love business. - Lee http://www.vinylfevertampa.com/index.php

2 places that were left off, but they are actually having this sale through the holidays... Hyde Park Hemp is having 50% off everything in the store Silver Edge (in Centro Ybor) is having 50% off everything in the store (plus, they have GOODS certificates on Creative Loafing for an additional savings)
All of those items would look absolutely fabulous in Lucky LooLoo. Fashion Jewelry by Lucky LooLoo
