The Six Bells annual barn sale starts now, with markdowns up to 60 percent off on everything from ruffled throw pillows to trompe l’oeil soap to a bunch of hand-painted ceramic tableware. It’s a good time to stock up on cheery accents for your home and kitchen. Or, if you’re leaning into the cottagecore aesthetic this summer, for building out the picnic basket of your countryside dreams. You’ll also find savings on staples like our favorite Sabre cutlery set, pajamas for adults and children, all manner of candles, table linens, and even tiny totes. If you’re not shopping for yourself, everything would make a well-considered host gift too. The sale goes through July 31, and Strategist readers get to enjoy free shipping on any size order for the first 24 hours with the code FREESHIPSTRAT (free shipping ends Wednesday at noon ET). Check out some of my favorites below.
