			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, this is it folks!   After 4+ years, your friends at Grand are calling it a day and sailing off into the sunset of Somerville Ave. It&#8217;s been real, but we&#8217;re ready to move on to new ventures. <br />
 <br />
But, before we close up for good we wanted to have one FINAL SALE. Everything in the store will be at least 50% off. Yes, you heard us, 50% off! So if you had your eyeballs on any of those higher (or lower) ticket items, get here stat! We&#8217;ll also be selling some of our display items so here&#8217;s your chance to snag that vintage table or blue mannequin that&#8217;s been missing in your life. It&#8217;s all happening this Saturday and Sunday, Feb 25-26, from 12-5pm. (Also please note that we will not be open for the rest of this week so we can get ready for the weekend.) <br />
 <br />
Before we let you go and without getting all mushy, we just want to sincerely thank all of you who have supported us over the past 4 years. It was great meeting so many awesome customers, makers, and artists, and we are very grateful for the experience!<br />
 <br />
In the immortal words of Sir Paul McCartney &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH9P_vwpLXk&#038;feature=youtu.be">And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.</a>&#8221;<br />
 <br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH7qq7OjJO8&#038;feature=youtu.be">That&#8217;s all folks</a>,<br />
Jon and Wendy<br />
 <br />
P.S. We&#8217;re also excited to announce that something cool will be coming into our space. For reals!<br />
P.P.S. Do yourself and the community you live in a favor and support local businesses. It will make everything better. Check out <a href="http://www.somervillelocalfirst.org/">SLF</a> to learn more!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In case you were wondering if there&#8217;s still time to order from us and get things in time for Christmas, the answer is yes! We&#8217;re shipping everything via USPS Priority Mail which costs $7 and up and generally takes 1-3 days, so we&#8217;d recommend placing your orders by this Monday night (December 20) so we can ship on Tuesday. (We&#8217;ll still be shipping orders after that but we can&#8217;t promise that we&#8217;ll get it to you in time.) We&#8217;re also happy to ship gifts directly to the recipient, just leave any special instructions in the Notes section when checking out. And in the spirit of the season, we&#8217;re offering free shipping for all orders over $50, just type FREESHIP in the Notes section (shipping cost will be deducted when we process your order). Just pop in to our webstore to the right or give us a call during business hours to place your order (Sunday 12-5, Tuesday through Thursday 12-7). Happy holiday shopping!</p>
