It's been a while since I have been to Old Time Pottery, but this is a place you should check out every so often. There is so much stuff in there and it changes often. This trip I found a lot of "Beachy" things, school of fish $11.99, coral $5.99 and up, beach towel holders $7.99, signs "Life's a Beach'' $1.99, beach totes $4.99. Also, a large selection of nautical anchors from $3.99, oars with pegs draped in netting and shells for $13.99, boat mirrors and much more. There was a cool tiki bar of bamboo with 3 bar stools for only $249.00. Flamingos dressed in hula skirts ($25) were adorable!

Rows of candles of every color and size and candle holders of every description all at very reasonable prices. I found a triple candle holder on a dark wood base that can be used for candles or vases and can sit on a table or can be wall mounted at $14.99.

Color brings the Italian countryside to your table! In a huge selection of colorful striped plates, pasta bowls, platters, you name it. The 5-piece pasta set was $9.99 and the 9-piece spice set consisted of salt/pepper, oil/vinegar, trivet, cream/sugar, and napkin holder also $9.99. Oops! I missed a piece there, can't remember what it was! A good deal though! All hand-painted stoneware. Speaking of stoneware ...you can find every color in dishes that can be individually bought for as low as $1.99! I liked the white plates with embossed shells all around the edge $2.99, mugs $1.99. Or a 16-piece dinner set at $9.92! There was a 12-piece kitchen set for $19.99 and a latte set with mugs, pitcher and utensil holder in green and white stripes for $9.94!

All kinds of colorful canisters. I love the coffee canisters with the magnet spoon attached only $7.99. Also cake dishes of every size, silicon bake wear, casserole dishes, darling tea pots and an unusual pyramid shape dessert stand that holds 38 cupcakes!

Aisles of gift wrap, pet toys, closet organizers, baskets galore, lamps and shades. Pictures in all sizes, rugs in every size. Area rugs started at $47.88 for a 5x8 size!

Don't forget the silk plants, rows and rows of them and floor plants and trees!

Did I mention wicker furniture and flower pots?

This is a long blog but there was so much to see! Old Time Pottery is located at the corner of Colonial Boulevard and Fowler Street in Fort Myers.

Have fun bargain hunting!!
