There is nothing better than after Christmas discounts especially
on Christmas décor and ornaments. Earlier in the season I had been at our local
Marshall’s with my mom and she bought me a pack of 12 small vintage inspired
ornaments by Christopher Radko. They are called Shiny Brite, just like the
vintage ornaments from the 1950s. They were extra small and perfect for my
metal Crate and Barrel Christmas tree.
I kept meaning to make it over to Marshalls again to see if
there were anymore left. With my mom and sister in tow we headed out to seek
some discounted Christmas bargains and I scored big! I found 3 boxes of Shiny
Brite ornaments left over from the holiday season. One box had 6 larger balls
and the other two boxes had 9 average sized balls each, in Christmas green with
rings of glittery pink.
The boxes of ornaments were already on sale, however each
box had at least 2 broken balls. I don’t normally haggle outside of estate
sales, but I really wanted all 3 boxes and wasn’t willing to pay for broken merchandise.
After speaking with the manager, the store
gave me a discount for the damage and the holiday sale which made my night!
After removing the broken pieces of glass and wrapping the
remaining ornaments safely, I can’t wait until next year to admire them on our
tree.
