Old Time Pottery

This is one of those stores that you will leave with way more stuff than you intended to buy. I shop here often but this last time I brought my brother who has never been before. He was impressed but remarked at how funny it was they carried so many beach decorations in the middle of Indiana. We are hoping to relocate to Florida soon so I hope that's true of the Florida locations as well since we will be in need of beach themed everything.

Everything is reasonably priced but I do have to have conversations with myself about what I actually need and what I don't while shopping here.

My first apartment out of college was decorated a la Old Time Pottery and I was able to buy global decorations to represent different continents for each room - my living room had an African theme, my bedroom had plenty of French flair, and my bathroom was super zen.

Long story short, you can probably find decorations here to represent any them, beach or otherwise, to decorate your house.

Wish we had one in Greenwood again. Really miss it. Too far to go to either end of the state. Couldn't you get another on here? Ours was always busy. Service, selection and value were great. I never came out empty handed. Miss it!!!
Prices were reasonable too.

Coming into the store, hear the soft Christmas music play, smell all the Christmas goodness of wreaths, and all the colorful ornaments. As I looked over the wreaths, I noticed that the prices were not on all wreaths. An attentive sales rep, came to see if I needed assistance with the wreaths that I couldn't reach. Once the sales rep gathered the three wreaths I was looking at, I noticed they were beautifully overpriced and I thanked the sales rep for assisting me. She also gave a tip of how I D.I.Y. a Christmas wreath.
I was able to buy some ornaments and hooks to use for this year's decor. But if you're in need of holiday decor, stop by Old Time Pottery.

I really like shopping at Old Time Pottery. It is a larger store with a nice variety of items throughout the store. They are a home retailer carrying some furniture, wall decor, cookware, lighting and rugs, bathroom goods, and bedding. Friendly customer service with affordable pricing.

Great location for seasonal decor, florals, candles, picture frames, dishware and unique items. Ornaments, Christmas Trees, Garland, yard decor and oodles of Christmas decor are here. The sale prices are good as well after each holiday.

I shop here when I'm looking for seasonal decor, glassware, bakeware, candles holders and hard to find items. This use to be one of my go-to spots for florals but the past two years the quality of florals has changed. There is a nice selection of wreathes and DIY projects.

I never leave OTP empty handed. They offer a warehouse full of home decor...including furniture, floral, kitchen/dining, holiday themed decor, lighting, wall decor and much more. I love that everything is well organized throughout the store. Lanterns have their own sections, as well as, vases of all shapes and sizes, mirrors are contained to aisles, furniture has its own area. My last visit was the day after Christmas and holiday decor was reduced to 75% off. Even Christmas ornaments were sorted by themes. I passed an aisle that was solely beach themed decor. It makes finding specific items so much easier. They have clearance items with as much as 90% off marked by a red sticker or red line through the barcode. I usually spend at least an hour every visit. Unfortunately, they don't offer any coupons or shopping via their website, but I've found them to be reasonably priced. As previously stated, it is well organized, clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Have looked all over Indy for drapery rods matching in 2 different sizes. Hooray not only did they have them but also in the style I wanted!! James the cashier was pleasant & polite!! They have just about anything you might be looking for.

Love OTP. Always unexpected markdowns and great selections of stuff you never knew you needed!! Great place for home goods.

I almost have a love / hate relationship with this store; much like I do with Walmart. But mind ya, I said *almost*.

While I know a majority of whatever you buy in there is made in China like Walmart, it still has a certain odd charm.

One thing I do like about it is that it us NEVER crowded or busy when I go.
I really like that. Crowds don't sit well with me, especially unruly, impatient and rude crowds.
I can usually mill about in the store like a zombie in a wasteland relishing the absolute and virtual peace. It's as sublime as it gets.
The layout of the store us as simple and elementary as it get too.
I can usually find my way around easily and get what I basically need.
The store is a ghost town when it comes to trying to find someone on the floor who works there to answer a question.
When you do manage to find someone, they seem to be basically helpful just the same.

The help at the registers is very slow and archaic. When I checked out recently, the lady at the register didn't appear to be very sharp physically or mentally.
What should have taken 5 minutes, took easily 10 plus. This is not counting the woman she was checking out before me. She was severely dragging and lagging with her as well.
There were a few other employees congregated around another register nearby, but they never bothered to acknowledge us and open another register and relieve the line that was forming in my section.
I fear that the general apathetic and lackadaisical attitude and flow in the store might be their eventual undoing.
They could go down (bankrupt/close) just like Hancock fabrics did next door.
That would be a huge shame.

Update 3/23: more evaluation on prices!
Candles and holders ranging from 98¢ to as high as $20
Pictures and frames of pop culture, kitchen designs, and floral as low as $6
Vases from 6 inches to 4 feet in every color.
A row of lanterns as low as $1.50
Patio furniture pieces as low as $10-$100
I could go on forever.
End update.
I wanted to find a new place to go to conclude my birthday. I hopped on Yelp and found Old Time Pottery. I've always wanted to go because I had the hopes that it'd be cheaper than Pottery Barn.

And boy was I right! You can't beat the prices. The quality of their quantity is amazing and made this bargain shopper very happy.

I could go on and on about how amazing they are but here's just a quick list of the variety they have: furniture, rugs and accents for every indoor or outdoor room imaginable; crystal, ceramic and plastic dinnerware, kitchen gadgets galore, kids toys, tools and outdoor supplies, and last but not least GNOMES!

The picture I'm attaching of the Gnomes was my favorite section. This picture represents how MUCH they have just for one type of item. And that's only a fifth of the gnomes. Just imagine how many different plates there are!

A different item for a different occasion. The decor options are simply endless and can make an entire collection for a room.

Also, if I was hypothetically speaking that my boyfriend and I might have been a burden, they have an aisle (as long as a grocery store aisle) JUST of wind chimes. Have fun in THAT aisle my friends!

This is a cool place to pick up fun kitchen things or floral decor items.

I'm hosting a family reunion and trying to decorate on the cheap. I was able to get some tall twig things, Spanish moss and other things to make my tables interesting without a big investment.

They also have fairly priced silk trees, which serve their purpose without spending an entire paycheck. I bought one and was very happy with it, but one of my cats didn't understand that it was fake and kept trying to eat it.

I also like to get felt hangers here, which are a great price.
