If every Black Friday shopper equips themselves with a list of “don’t miss” bargains the night before, then here is ours. Stop by Momo and Sandylew and you’ll find that black is back with a fury. Both boutiques are offering 15 percent off anything and everything that is black—“interpretively, partially & totally”—this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Click! Design That Fits of West Seattle is also offering stellar deals on black, so stop by on Friday for 15 percent off clothing of a darker hue. If you are in search of some festive wovens and colorful cardigans (for him or her), then stop by Ian (located downtown). They are offering 20 percent off all inventory through Sunday. For those Chihuly aficionados who did not score tickets to the VIP trunk show at Chihuly Garden and Glass, arrive around 11 a.m. on Friday to filter through the remaining deals. If you’re hoping to miss the crowds at the mall, opt for a less-crowded venue at McCaw Hall where you can browse from over 100 local vendors, craft makers and artists at the etsyRAIN 2012 Handmade Holiday Show (previously held at Intiman Theatre). Doors open at 11 a.m. on Friday, and close on Saturday at 5 p.m. If that’s not incentive enough, free swag bags will be given to the first 100 people that filter through the door.
