The Savvy Shopper

This store holds a little of everything!

This little store has been open about five months. I just stumbled across it last week ... didn't know it was there.

Mariella who works there showed me through. She said the items they sell the most of are the metal wall decor. The walls are covered with large clocks and decorative metal sculptures. Also found a large selection of wine holders, whimsical bottle openers, and wine cork holders. There were ceramic figures holding a corkscrew at $14.99: a pirate, a gun slinger and tropical Joe.

The boats with shelves in them came in three sizes and wood trunks were in two sizes. There is a selection of ceramics dishes in bright colors with fruit or flowers on them. There is a little of this and a little of that! No telling what you may find! A black board for the kitchen held by a chef that says Gourmet Selection. Cutesy salt and pepper shakers for all you collectors out there. How about a jewelry holder that is a dress form with a little foot stool and a pair of tiny shoes? $12.99.

Betty Boop hair brushes, little jeweled boxes, or a hand painted flip flop necklace? I liked the fairy picture frames. There was a big floor globe that opened to reveal a bar. Or a variety of candle holders. A six-piece set that gives you the flexibility to easily change the decorative theme under the glass votive holders at $29.98. Some long stemmed candle holders in sets of two or three. And a wall of candles allows you to select any color.

The tweens would love Secret Art ... body jewels, tattoos and stickers. There is a small selection of pictures. Key fobs with emblems for different makes of cars, but the one I liked best was a gemstone key ring that had different colored globes on them at $5.99.

They were getting a new shipment with lots of boxes arriving so I think the scenery changes quickly in here!
