• You can pick up home décor items, mirrors, art, kitchen items, toys, books, CDs, DVDS and more  at a tag sale from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at 1 Gracie Ln., Darien. Why do we mention this tag sale and no others in Darien? Because the sellers posted an announcement on Darien Patch. You can too! Go here and post your tag sale -- it's a lot easier than posting signs on telephone poles and trees around town (no splinters, no sticky sap online!). You can also post a comment at the bottom of this article about where and when your sale takes place.
