Sad news for fans of Hard Goods: Owner Brandon Gore announced via Instagram that the store, which carries concrete wares, along with local art and other home accessories, will close up shop soon.

"It's been a fun ride, but the Hard Goods pop up shop is coming to an end (for now)," Gore wrote in the post, which features an image with text that reads, "Big Thanks."

It's a big weekend for Frances.

The local boutique celebrates seven years in the Medlock Plaza on Central and Camelback. And while its surroundings have changed quite a bit since the shop opened its doors, the amount of drool-worthy apparel, home goods, gifts, and accessories has always kept us coming back.

To celebrate its anniversary, the boutique is throwing a weekend-long party with trunk shows, limited-edition artwork, and food trucks.

If you missed last weekend's vintage and handmade festival, The Big Heap, you're in luck. Junk in the Trunk is back to present their vintage market of the same name this Saturday at West World.

The market will feature over 100 vendors with "all of the chippy, rusty, vintage goodness we all love," says Lindsey Holt, part of the trio of "junk-loving" women who make up Junk in the Trunk. Some of the items available range from vintage dresses to one-of-a-kind furniture pieces and handmade jewelry, plus much more.

The barely one-year-old Revera has packed up its bottled oils and left the Artisan Village on Roosevelt Row.

Represented by Violet Brand and Susan Kerr, the local beauty and aromatherapy shop that specialized in custom-blended perfumes and bath and body products made no public announcement of its farewell, vacating its downtown storefront in February.

Gem features one standout piece from a local shop. Whether it's a jacket, necklace, or handbag, it's on our have-to-have list.

What: This vintage ivory mini-dress with a lacey floral overlay will be a go-to for summery style. Cut out for garden parties and outdoor weddings, the simply shaped shift can be styled to play up current 1920s trends or a more Mad Men-esque Mid-century look.

Where: Annie Boomer Vintage

Cost: $60

GROWop Boutique and Cellar Door Vintage recently welcomed new-ish neighbor Annie Boomer Vintage to Sixth Street's downtown shopping enclave south of Roosevelt Row.

We say new-ish because Annie Boomer's owner, Andrea Engelsberg, formerly ran the shop out of the back of Nostra Style House's old location on Sixth. That was before Nostra relocated to RoRo, and Cellar Door moved in at 906 North Sixth.

Now, after a few months of shop shuffling, Annie Boomer is open at 908 North Sixth Street, Butter Toast Boutique's former space, and the ladylike clotherie's a great addition to the neighborhood.

Miles to Go

Gem features one standout piece from a local shop. Whether it's a jacket, necklace, or handbag, it's on our have-to-have list.

What: With this year's Big Brains nominees on our minds (and Artopia just around the corner), we got to thinking about 2012's nominees. With his literary shirt company, Miles to Go, Greg Kerr continues transforming bookish tendencies into stylish statements. Our favorite of his offerings is the Moby Dick top, with it's straightforward and instantly recognizable design.

Where: Miles to Go

Cost: $25
