SATURDAY UPDATE: The strawberry pot and face pots are sold, as well as some of the smaller planters … but there’re still plenty left. Ignore the posted prices; my goal is clearing out, so come by and help me open up space.
SUNDAY UPDATE: All pots are spoken for. Thanks everyone, I know they’ve gone to good homes!
Oh-kay … my recent attempt at auctioning off my collection of large terra-cotta pots was a bust. I received a single bid and it was bogus *le sigh* … So, in the interest of moving on and achieving my goal of full garden decor divestment, I’ll be selling the terra-cotta singly, on-site, this Saturday only, 9am to whenever they’re all gone …
Also: I’m adding in some other large-ish earthenware pots (white, glazed) and — wait for it — the face pots that have flanked the Rancho’s back gate forever! I’d noticed an inordinate amount of attention being paid to them by passers-by, so they’ve been chained in place from the beginning; but now I’m ready to let them go … Here’re some tips …
There’s been lots of interest expressed in the huge terra-cotta strawberry pot, same with the face pots, so in the interest of fairness I will take all full-price bids, put them in a hat and pull a winner for each at exactly 9:30am … Get here early; all other pots are for sale on a strictly first come, first served basis! Plus: Keep in mind that most of these are really heavy … super-heavy, in some cases, so bring muscle, a big sturdy dolly, and a truck. Additional pot measurements and prices follow:
