Irene Myers is closing Irene’s Consignment and taking a well-deserved retirement after 23 years of serving as the conduit between socialites and the rest of us for beautiful women’s clothing, jewelry, handbags and other accessories. A terrific selection of already-reduced coddled pieces from St. John Knits, Louis Feraud, Ralph Lauren and other designers are reduced by additional 20 percent, and past-season items are half-price or less. Fixtures and displays also are for sale. For the best selection, hurry in to the store at 2342 S. Colorado Blvd., 303-759-3010, between 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and join the stream of heartbroken customers who wish Irene well. Hugs accepted.

Broadway, 303-733-3337, www.petitepatoot.com.
Ready, set, sell that home!

You’re in luck. During the patio sale 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 4, at Modern Bungalow, 2594 S. Colorado Blvd., 303-300-3332, www.modernbungalow.com, orphan fixtures, outdoor lighting and sconces from Arroyo, Mica Lamp Co. and Meyda Tiffany – some valued at more than $500 – will be reduced by as much as 80 percent. First come, first served, cash and carry, so be there early.
