move over, Target

(But not too far.) I don't know how long this Old Time Pottery store has been in town, but oh my my. It's like, this giant warehouse-y type place with rows and rows and rows of fun things. It's like Home Goods on steroids, with a little bit of craft store thrown in. And some tiki torches, and a whole lot of pots. And, it's CHEAP.

Yesterday, on my first trip to OTP, I exercised an amazing show of Self-Restraint, and only purchased 3 candle holders for $1.99 each.

Also, fellow Pisces-fish Erin so sweetly fulfilled my lifelong dream of owning a garden gnome named Seymour. Seymour now resides in Herb Corner, along with munchkin friends Sid and Styles. Sid reads a book, while Styles, perhaps unfortunately, remains an integral part of a pinwheel.











And, while I'm at it, I suppose it's a good time to reveal the rest of the garden, which, so far, is growing. As a good garden should.



















Yay for gardens!

Next up at OTP: possible belated housewarming gift for brother, in form of metal pink flamingo planter. Mwahahahaha.
