My sister called me this week to tell me she had just grabbed a meal at Preston Royal Shopping Center’s Neuhaus Cafe, then walked next door into Merge to find a table of baby clothes marked down 50 percent.
She grabbed a few darling items for her 5-month-old, and couldn’t help buying baby threads all the way up to the 18- to 24-month range because the deals were so good.

According to the website, baby clothes aren’t the only garments on sale at Alana Israelson’s boutique; select spring and summer merchandise throughout the store is 30-50 percent off.
