STOP ’N’ SHOP

Pick up some finds at this fancy rummage sale

Pauper or queen, everybody craves a bargain. Satisfy your jones for deals at the April 12 and 13 Interiors Bazaar at the Resource Center (7026 Katy Rd.). Presented annually by the Gulf Coast chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), the event allows the public to shop showrooms usually open to the trade only for antiques, accessories, and more items (like the objects, pictured, from BLI Collections). Many are available at discount prices. Tip to seamstresses: Arrive early to paw through the high-end remnants on the fabric table.

In fact, serious shoppers will want to prowl the Resource Center on Saturday, 9 a.m.–noon, for the early-bird special ($15, good for both days). Admission fees otherwise are $10 after 12 on Saturday, $7 on Sunday afternoon. These proceeds benefit ASID, which will donate unsold Interior Bazaar items to the Furniture Bank (www.furniturebank.org). More info: 713/626-ASID.
