Harrington Manor

I’d passed by Harrington Manor numerous times before and based solely on name and the fancy walk-​up steps into ‘the manor’, I’d decided not to even bother heading in to shop, assuming it was far too fancy of home décor for my pauper pocketbook.
This weekend I was in the area hitting up it’s neighbor stores, the thrift shop, the liquor store and the Argentinean grill, and felt like I was being a real jerk singling out one of the four businesses on this strip to not patronize, so I decided to take a peak in… well, I guess that’s only half of it. What really drew me in was that they had a bit of a weekend sidewalk sale going on and you know how hard it is to pass up a bargain.
The items on their sidewalk sale table were classic, yet whimsical and awfully unique. We followed the steps of the manor upward and onward to find a really fine collection of surprisingly reasonable-​priced items for home décor. The selection wasn’t all that varied — it definitely appealed to a certain kind of taste, but not in a bad way. I was drawn to their ample selection of decorative animal items — a particularly fine selection of owl and bunny merch… but not the super girly type stuff that a guy might be embarrassed of, just a lot of nice, neutral animal gems.
While mostly full of decorative items, they also carry a small selection of moderate-​level jewelry and candles. It’s a small shop but they have enough nooks that it actually holds quite a bit.
Beyond the very affordable items inside (or at least the ones I’d flipped over seemed below what I was expecting as far as retail price), they really knew how to put on a sale. They had these really cool pineapple garden stand pillars that were originally $ 49 each, marked down on clearance to $ 4 and beyond some very minor scratches that you’d expect, they were in perfect condition. Based on savings alone I was tempted to buy.
Moral: Don’t judge this Manor by it’s cover. While still slightly regal, it’s remains humble in it’s listings.
