Introducing Sterling Pear…Holiday Elegance Made Simple

I recently had the pleasure to meet the owner of Sterling Pear, and view some of the beautiful Sterling Pear products. I am absolutely in love with their stuff! My favorite item is the Ornament Storage Box pictured above.

The Signature Ornament Storage Box is constructed of substantial high quality fiberboard covered in a pretty pear green exterior. Metal hardware further reinforces the strength of the outer box with metal corners on the lid and rivets along the side seams to add strength and durability.

• Three-tier ornament storage box holds up to 52 total ornaments making organizing, protecting and identifying your cherished ornaments in a breeze.
• Box interior and three stackable ornament trays have luxurious silver satin lining and padded tray bottoms providing delicate ornaments a soft & gentle storage place.
• Top tray has its own lid and space above it for storing garland or tree skirt.
• All tray dividers are removable allowing room for large and unusually shaped ornaments; bottom 4.5″ tray has adjustable dividers with extra notches so you can rearrange according to your needs.
• Sturdy side metal handles make light work of moving the storage box.
• Outer Box Dimensions 20″L x 15″W x 13.5″H Two 3.5″ H trays (each holds up to 20 ornaments)One 4.5″ H tray (holds up to 12 oversize ornaments) ( Ornaments are not included)

Frugal Finds Friday: LOCAL DEALS!

Some of the best frugal finds are the ones right under your nose. If you want to be in the “know,” watch your local newspaper for family events and keep an eye out for sale ads for small stores around your town or close to it. Look for sale tables set out on warm nights. Take the time to walk in and compare prices and quality. You may find the quality you get in a small store is worth the extra price for a special gift. When you support local stores and restaurants, you support your town and the resources it can offer.

Recently, my family attended First Friday in Phoenixville. The night was warm and the music was lively and entertaining to all ages. For the cost of an ice cream cone, I saw friends, entertained my children, viewed an interesting new art exhibit and enjoyed the evening outside. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend my Friday night.

As we walked past one outdoor vendor, a friendly young man began telling me the benefits of the Phoenixville Area Business Association (PABA) “Local List.” For a mere $2, I received a small booklet with coupons for 43 local businesses in my town. I loved the idea because all too often I open my Entertainment book and the coupons for stores and restaurants are not nearly as convenient as right in my own backyard.

To read how the Local List works, head over to HERE at DIYFrugal for the rest of the article and to learn about more money saving resources!

HOT DEAL!!!! save $264 on a new Storybook Cottage (playhouse) for your kiddos..

My kiddos are now the happy owners of a brand new Step 2 Storybook Cottage. The retail price is $420, but hold onto your socks gals, cuz I’m about to knock em’ off…

I paid only $156 at Sam’s Club!

That is a savings of $264! Woo-hoo!

The Exton Sam’s Club is currently out of stock, but I called around to all of the Sam’s Club’s that were close to to where one of my friends lived (friends that would be willing to run to Sam’s and pick it up for me) and Deptford, NJ was the winner. If you are looking for a cute playhouse and willing to make a few phone calls to find one in stock this is a HOT, HOT DEAL! This deal isn’t currently listed on the Sam’s Club website. My friend was shopping at Sam’s in Exton and bought the last one in stock. She knew I had been looking for a play house too and called me right away. I immediately began the search. Sam’s gets new deliveries all of the time so make sure to call Exton. They might have one in stock by the time you are reading this.

This is a pretty tall play house so you will want to make sure you have a big enough vehicle to pick it up.
