     VIP participating home decor store, Inquisidor, is having an off-site special warehouse clearance and liquidation sale with too many items to mention in this space, so it's a must see up and the clearance continues until Saturday, March 28 at Casa Santario, Cri Cri #26 in Colonial Guadalupe, at the corner of Tata Nacho. Clearance  hours  10 - 6  p.m.
