-- Home Textiles Today, 5/8/2009 11:24:00 AM

New York -- Sears/Kmart is the major sponsor of the 5th annual Design on a Dime benefit that kicked off last evening in Manhattan. The charity is Housing Works, which provides services to homeless and low-income New Yorkers with HIV and AIDS.

Following last night’s VIP kick-off party, the event continues today and tomorrow at the Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 W. 18th St., between 6th and 7th Avenues. It is free and open to the public from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Fifty room vignettes feature up with merchandise from Sears/Kmart and more than 100 other home décor companies, most on the high end.

The Sears/Kmart displays in look a sneak preview of the new Country Living making its debut at both nameplates later this year as well as fall 2009 introductions for Jaclyn Smith, Ty Pennington, Cannon and Sears/Kmart housewares.

See kick-off party photos here.

  Apparently Sears only concerns themselves with putting up a front. For going on 5 years Sears has left both my husband and my self(both disabled) with no heat or a/c even though the two systems, that Sears installed in our delaware home, have 10 year warranties and cost us almost $19,000.If you care to find out what Sears is really like Google "Sears Complaints" and read how Sears treats it's long time customers. Like us, many of their customers will no longer do business with them.
