Located in a corner historic building in downtown Ft. Pierce that used to be the Butterfield Drug…read morestore, Madison Estate Gallery and Boutique is an amazing find. The sidewalk is beautifully decorated with all of their great outdoor decor. You can tell you are in for a treat before you even walk in the door. I was able to chat a bit with one of the owners, Diana. Madison purchases items from estate sales and then they fix up some of the items for resale. For instance they will recover chair cushions and repaint furniture. They can also restore your furniture. There are so many one of a kind items here. Jewelry, clothing, furniture, and decorative items. The boutique is crammed with so many things but all are artfully arranged. I wanted everything! The emphasis is on coastal decor in keeping with Ft. Pierce's location on the water but they also have an Oriental and African section as well. If you see something you fall in love with, its affordable. If you love flamingos like I do they have got you covered with many decorating pieces. One of of my favorite items was a parrot floor lamp. They also have a wonderful selection of Highwaymen paintings which are very popular but not in my budget. The Highwaymen were a group of artists around the Fort Pierce area who quickly created Florida folk art featuring landscapes from oil paints on Uppson board used as roof sheeting. From 1950-1980 they would anonymously sell the art out of the trunks of their cars on A1A and US 1 from Daytona to Miami. They are a great investment as many of the Highwaymen are getting up there in years. I ended up buying several items. They worked with me on the prices up to 20 percent off. I ended up going home with a Grecian Goddess bust who is now surveying my living room from the top of the dining room china cabinet, a photograph of a Roseate Spoonbill that was signed and number by a photographer from Siesta Key, a framed tapestry of Henry Flagler's estate Whitehall in Palm Beach, and a two tiered glass serving dish. I love all of my treasures. Inventory changes on a daily basis. One important thing to note is that items marked with a D belong to Diana and she only takes cash or a check for her things All other items in the store can be purchased with a credit card. There was so much to see here that you can easily spend an afternoon dreaming and planning. With an emphasis on tropical and beach decor the wide selection is sure to delight anyone who loves vintage and Florida.

He came up with the idea for a charity in response to a fellow classmates question, what is your church doing for the poor? The group chose St. V\incent de Paul, patron saint of the poor for their name and under the guidance of Sister Rosalie Rendu, they increased the number of people they were able to help. Volunteers of the organization are called Vincentians. The charity spread from France to Europe. In 1845 they established in St. Louis, Missouri. The organization is now world wide in 150 countries with 750,000 members. Every year across the country the St. Vincent De Paul Society provides 1.4 billion in aid to more than 4 million people every year. Since 1958, the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Indian River County has served more than one million families and individuals living in Vero Beach. Proceeds from this thrift store have gone to help people in need of clothing and food, electricity and water, disaster recovery, and counseling, They visit nursing homes and hospitals and offer services and referrals as needed. The St. Vincent de Paul thrift stores are always a favorite of mine when I can find them. They have large inventories of inexpensively priced, like new items that include furniture, home goods, holiday decorations, clothing, accessories, books, medical equipment, small appliances, and sporting goods. This store has several rooms to explore with a boutique sections offering name brand clothing at a steep discount. There are a number of thrift stores in this area and with its good works, great customer service, large inventory, and inexpensive prices, St. Vincent de Paul is at the top of my list.

There are a number of thrift and antique stores in this area so you can have a fun afternoon exploring all of them. This antique store's creation was rooted in Ito's (the owner) love of preserving American history. A passion for collecting artifacts and old Americana was turned into a business. Through several rooms you can explore antiques, collectibles, memorabilia and mid-century vintage treasures. Some of it is owned by Ito but he also has consignment and leases dealer space. There is so much to see so I really wanted to take my time. I loved exploring the furniture, home goods, collectibles, clothing, accessories, art, and more. The vintage mystery bags for only a few dollars were a fun find. I especially enjoyed Ito's personal collection of vintage model cars. This store is so cool and definitely worth a stop if you find yourself in the area.
