Honolulu artist and designer Cora Yee is presenting her latest colorful prints, eclectic jewelry and unusual clothing in a Valentine's trunk show from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Mission Houses Museum store. While there, enjoy a special tea menu and music by local jazz guitarist Shoji Ledward. Admission is free. Call Betsy Robertson, 447-3923, for more information.

WHOLE FOODS FASHION

Whole Foods Market in Kahala Mall is "going local" for Valentine's Day. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow, shoppers will be treated to a show of local fashions by Mu'umu'u Heaven and Kealopiko, as well as product samplings from more than 10 local vendors, including Pacific Place Tea, Honey Girl, and Hawaiian Bath & Body.

ACADEMY SHOP CLEARANCE SALE

Just once a year, The Academy Shop holds a giant clearance sale of ethnic clothing, jewelry, folk art pieces, vintage prints, books, stationery and music. It's a great opportunity to find treasures, with prices slashed 30 percent to 80 percent.

It takes place from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. tomorrow, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday and 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Academy Art Center at Linekona.
