My favorite upscale garden center always has a July tent sale in which they mainly sell unusual Christmas items at great prices. I talked to a couple of the sales ladies in the store and they said they never put all the items out at once so everyone has a chance to get something nice no matter when you come.
Every year, I always find something surprising and lovely.
Today I found a faux red blooming amaryllis flower with moss growing on the top of the pot for $10. The amaryllis flower usually retails at $39.99. I also found a vintage looking light bulb string in amber with a lot of gold sprinkled throughout the bulbs. The lights look very much like vintage mercury glass. The lights work with three AA batteries so no outlet is needed. The lights were priced at $5 but usually retail at $21.99.
I can hardly wait until Christmas.
