PHAG Liquidation Sale

A tough retail climate compelled seven-year-old PHAG (Philadelphia Home and Garden) to close its shop in favor of moving all retail operations online beginning in April. Through March, everything in the brick-and-mortar store is dramatically marked down, including gift items, home décor, furnishings and their always-clever selection of wry greeting cards. Fans of the shop will find a much-expanded online selection of goods, and phaginteriors.com will continue to offer fixed-rate decorating and design services and custom-ordered furnishings for clients. 1225 Walnut St., 215-627-0461, thephagshop.com.

Lisa M. Reisman at Liberty Place

Located on the first floor of the Rotunda, the store will keep mall hours of Mon.-Sat., 9:30 a.m.-7 p.m., and Sun., noon-6 p.m. Shops at Liberty Place, 1625 Chestnut St., 215-569-8500, lisart.com.
