The Prickly Pear At Home

* * * Going Out Of Business Sale * * *

75% off sale is through Wednesday. I will be packing up what is left and closing my shop on Thursday.

I have pulled out all my back stock and have Christmas, Fall, Easter, Spring, 4th of July and everyday items. Hurry on over because it's going quick!

Everything is now 50% off! Still lots of stuff left, but you better hurry. I'm going to start closing up next week on the 27th.

I am closing my shop inside The Shops at BrickCity the end of this month. After the loss of our son October 31st I just haven't been able to deal with it. I appreciate so much everyone who has helped with my shop during this time and everyone who has shopped with me and supported my shop since I opened.

Currently everything including all Dixie Belle Products is 25% off.
