I was out this week visiting my favorite stores in Clermont.  There is a new store that you just have to see.  It is called Encore at Bella Sorrella. It's located in historic downtown Clermont at 763 W. Montrose Street.  The new owner, Arlene Guess is an interior designer by trade.  Her store offers beautiful home decor.  

Love the walls....

This gorgeous king size bed is fantastic.  It is four poster, with leather inset on the headboard.  It even has an iron canopy(not shown). 

If you are looking for that special piece to complete a room there are many accessories to choose from.

The owner of Encore at Bella Sorella, has created a line of designer candles.  They would make a wonderful gift.  Each candle is embellished with jewels....

There is also a room that is dedicated to vendors. 
Here you can find an assortment of items.
Jewelry....Purses....Home Items....

Stop by and see Arlene at Encore at Bella Sorella, located at 763 W. Montrose Street, Clermont.  You will love her designer expertise and enjoy her exceptional resale.  She welcomes consignment and has vendor spaces available. 
Encore at Bella Sorella is open daily. 
Monday thru Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 9-2

Remember,
To tell her you saw her store on Thrift Happy.

 You are also welcome to shop Friday with the dealers that are setting up for the fair outdoors and under the open air buildings.   Admission and parking are free, so meet up with friends and have a fun day of shopping.  
 

Expect a beautiful Spring Day in Historic Winter Garden on Saturday, April 10th.  They will be having their annual Spring Fever.  Don't  miss it.  Stop by and see Carmen at Preloved Affordables on Boyd Street.  You will love her store.  Her wonderful spirit is a blessing....this store will soon become your favorite.

Not So Shabby's Grand Re-opening was a sight to see. I just love the new store.  From the moment you arrive you feel the charm of this place.  On the sidewalk the benches have been cushioned for that weary shopper. (or perhaps a great place for the men to wait while we shop).  The vintage double doors open to a room with exposed brick walls. The store is full with beautiful items for every decorating style.  Trish and Laura are so talented at choosing just the right items for their store. 
This store is a must see!  Did I mention the prices are great!

This couch was my favorite!

Remember to sign the guest book at Not So Shabby!
  Tell Trish and Laura that you saw their store on Thrift Happy.

Not So Shabby re-opens in Clermont today!  Make sure you stop by at 639 Eighth Street.  It should be wonderful, Trish has a great eye for beautiful things.

Remember the Vintage View is just around the corner on Montrose Street...tell Mary Jo that Kathy from Thrift Happy sent you.

I should be uploading some great pictures this week.  Some from Ocala to St Augustine...Wow It has been a busy week.
