Fun Frugal Finds: Coastal Pottery and Collectibles
I love going out and shopping for deals and bargains. Finding them isn’t too hard, you just need to know where and when to look. On top of that, you need to be patient with hunting down what you want and at a bargain price!
A few weeks ago we went to Saturday’s Market which is Pennsylvania’s largest indoor & outdoor flea market & farmer’s market. It’s located in Harrisburg and is open every Saturday (inside & outside) and on Sunday (outside) year-round.
As you all know, I decorate both of my homes in a beach & coastal style. I find that type of decor to be soothing, relaxing and inviting. I don’t do too much nautical (which is different than coastal) and I prefer the neutral colors with just some colorful accents.
On this recent trip to Saturday’s Market (The Flea) I found this gorgeous imported from Italy pottery planter. I’ve been hunting for larger items to sit on the top of the my kitchen cabinets to act as decor pieces. This planter is large and the perfect size to fill that space above one of my kitchen cabinets.
The coastal planter is like-new…no chips, dings, cracks or crazing at all. Seriously, it looks like it was NEVER used! I asked the vendor how much he wanted for it and he said $2.00 and it was mine within seconds! I love the fish, seashell & coral design that runs around the outside of the planter.
In a different section of the flea market I found a Precious Moments figurine for $1.00. I’ve been collecting Precious Moments figurines for about 22 years now and probably own about 75 of them. My grand daughter who is 7 years old has already told me that she wants my doll collection, my Precious Moments figurine collection and my seashell collection when she gets older. Ha!
So, for a total of $3.00 I got BOTH of the beautiful items you see featured in my Fun Frugal Finds blog post for this week. What a deal!
Have you found any big bargains or great deals lately? If so, tell me about them! Let’s all get frugal & thrifty together!
