Clermont, Florida

You will love historic downtown Clermont located  just a short distance from Orlando and the major attractions.  I just love the small town feel of this place.  If you are visiting the Central Florida areas be sure to put Clermont on your map.  It is packed with charm, great people and wonderful stores.  They are some of my favorites.

Not So Shabby
The owners Trish and Laura put together a beautiful store.  It is full of new items and gently used furniture and home decor.  They are always coming up with some new way to repurpose and recycle.  I've seen purses made from wool sweaters to her newest creation "Sock Fans"....
Picture
They sold out at Christmas...but a new group of Sock Fans
 are back in time for Valentine's Day. 
Picture
I hope you enjoy Not So Shabby.


...Next stop The Vintage View...

Picture
The Vintage View located on Montrose Street is the ideal place to find something unusual.  If you need a gift or are looking for something from the past you will want to stop here.  You never know what you might find.
Picture
I just love this vanity I saw on my last visit.
Picture
What a beautiful group of home decor. 
The hutch in the back was gorgeous!

For more pictures from my visit,
 view The Vintage View page on Thrift Happy.

Off to Finders Keepers.....

Just opening is Finders Keepers, located on Eighth Street. The store has a great little Nautical room.

Wow this was a long post...  I really am only touching the surface with shopping in the downtown historic Clermont area.  There are several more shops I stopped at today.  I'll be sure to photograph them on my next visit.  So be sure not to miss Flowers Finds on West Street.   There is a little diner on Montrose also a wine shop just in case you need a quick break...Have fun and tell them Kathy from Thrift Happy sent you!

I stopped by some of my favorite stores in Clermont.  I just love going to the Clermont stores.  With five stores on the same street I always find something special.  I have updated their pages with new pictures from my visit.  I hope you enjoy!

Visiting the Vintage View

Hello everyone...with Spring just around the corner I am getting so excited.  I know the paper will be filled with all kinds of exciting Spring events.  I can't wait. 

Yesterday I went to The Vintage View  in Clermont...They have so many wonderful collectibles.  Every Sunday they have a Farmer's market in front of the store.  I plan to attend this weekend. I think I'll try to capture some  pictures for the Magazine.  Remember to carry your camera when out thrifting.   Take some pictures and write me a short note telling me about your day....It just might be in the magazine.

The Vintage View has a great selection of decanters.  You can even find a gorgeous tray to place them upon.

If you collect tea cups, you are sure to find one you love.  As you enter the store there are two huge shelves full of tea cups.  You will even find more as you wonder the store.

Remember Farmer's Market, at The Vintage View this Sunday.
Hope to see you there!
Note:  A new store opened  in the Ocoee area.  It's called Thrift Stop.  It's a resale clothing store.  They also sale shoes, purses and accessories.  Their prices were affordable.  Sorry no pictures yet.  Maybe soon, need to speak with owner first.

Today I went back to The Vintage View, located on Montrose Street,  in historic downtown Clermont.  What a wonderful visit.  I walked the store several times.  It's funny each time around I would discover something new.
Picture
Wow! What a great set.  This would make a wonderful gift for someone.
Picture
If you love to collect angels there are plenty to chose from.
Picture
I love colored glassware, especially green. 
I've noticed I'm always drawn to it in each store I visit.

Wouldn't this  look wonderful in your Shabby Chic bedroom?

The Vintage View has something for everyone from jewelry to books.

You can even find some vintage toys for the kids.
