The Vintage Fair is an ongoing outdoor event at the Festival Flea Market. Admission and parking is…read morefree. It is located in the parking lot at the end near the Hillsboro Antique Mall. Items include handmade, vintage, antique, re-purposed and salvage. DJ Mike Locke provides the entertainment. On the day I visited I got there close to closing. I am not sure if some of the vendors already packed up but it looked like it. There was one huge tent and then one line of vendors outside. I mainly saw jewelry but here were also hummel figurines, depression glass and other assorted odds and ends. The vendors that were there were ready to wheel and deal. A lot of them were asking people to just make an offer and one women was offering and entire box of baubles for a dollar each. I was looking for some vintage pyrex but I didn't see any. If you want the best selection come when they open at 9 AM. I overheard some of the vendors say that they sold a lot of things earlier in the day. If you are just looking to perhaps snag a deal come close to 4 when the vendors are looking to sell rather than pack it up, The next fair is February 16th. Check the Festival Flea market's website under events for further dates.

Despite having lived next door to the Bergeron Rodeo for several years back in the 90's this was my…read morefirst visit. I won't go to a rodeo because I don't find abusing animals entertaining but a craft show on the other hand is right up my alley. This is an annual event sponsored by the town of Davie. The event was advertised as having 100 vendors. I don't think there were quite that many but they had a lot. Admission and parking were free. The tents filled the rodeo arena and outside it as well. People were selling plants, floral arrangements, zombie soup mix, jewelry, lights in alcohol bottles, soap, dream catchers, a tiny fairy garden, woodwork, stained glass, baked goods, clothes, bags, and a myriad of other hand made goods. They also had food and drink vendors and bounce houses and kids corner activities for children . The grounds were perfect for the craft show. There were plenty of clean bathrooms. The weather was gorgeous, the vendors were varied, and with the upcoming holidays it was the perfect time to shop. It is good to support the local arts community. This is a nice hometown event perfect for kids and adults.

The New River Marketplace is a pop up market hosted by History Ft. Lauderdale. It's held on the…read morelast Saturday of every month in front of the historic New River Inn along the New River. There is limited street parking which can be a bit of a challenge but the setting is so lovely that it is worth it. Admission to the market place is free. It was advertised as having 52 vendors and I would guess there wasn't even half of that. The vendors that were there sold sunglasses, clothing, second hand items, home services like gutters, and jewelry. My favorite vendor was Carolyn who sold second hand jewelry on the porch of the New River Inn. I loved poking through her treasures. She got all my money and I left with an opal ring, silver chain, and two pendants. Bring cash with you because some vendors like Carolyn do not accept cards.The event was advertised as having food and the only vendor I saw was Taco Baja selling tacos. There are a ton of restaurants in the area if the on site food is not to your liking. The museum is open during the market and adults can tour for $15. The New River Inn was built in 1905 and was one of Ft. Lauderdale's earliest hotels. History Ft. Lauderdale operates several historic buildings in this one area. The New River is very picturesque and it is a great place to take a stroll even if there is nothing going on. I enjoyed my market visit. These types of outdoor markets are very popular now and I think the great location has the potential to make this market a major event, especially if they add some more food and merchandise vendors.

I love Britto's artwork. It's fun and colorful with a modern twist. It makes me happy whenever I…read moresee his art. My husband gifted me a Britto mug set and I love it. We stumbled into this store by accident. It's new to the mall and located next to Toku restaurant and across from Bella Luna restaurant on the Macy's side of the mall. Before you walk into the store, you'll see a Britto "LOVE" sign in front of the store. Totally Instagrammable. The store itself is beautiful and colorful, of course because BRITTO! Loved browsing and just admiring all the cool stuff. What really caught my attention was the Limited Edition Monopoly set. More so the $4k price tag!!!! OH. EM. GEEEEEE!!! It's #488 out of #2000 total sets. So crazy but mad cool too. But for $4k, I don't think I would let anyone touch this game if it were sitting in my house. Lol. The chess set was so beautiful too. Ahhhhh. The two gentlemen working at Britto were very professional, attentive and answered any questions I had. They were great!

We made appointments the day before which allows a 30 minute time frame for 2 people. My fiancé and I got a gold filled and a gold bracelet with 2 charms each. It ended up being about $350 for both its a bit pricey but we hope they will last a while. Sarah was the person who helped us with our bracelets, she was very friendly and professional! They provide instructions at the end on how to care for your jewelry and if it ever breaks off (within one year), you can bring it back and they will reconnect it at no charge, as long as it doesn't get lost of course. I loved how many different chain options they provided, from silver, gold filled, 14k gold, a lot of different charms were available as well that were also silver, gold filled and even some 14k gold charms. They also have so different accessories like earrings, and hair clips for purchase. A lot of parking available in the plaza and they have some restrooms in the building as well if needed with vending machines. I highly recommend scheduling an appointment before going because it's a small area and that way you have plenty of time to make a decision. I will definitely be back and bring some friends and family!

I love my Summie jewelry and I love the way Avyss made me feel while choosing it…read more I take quite a bit of time when picking jewelry because I am rather particular about how it feels against my skin, the color of it against my skin tone, and I am conscious about how I spend my money. When I decided I wanted a necklace, I told Avyss my thoughts on color and length. I worry that gold doesn't always look nice against my pale skin. She went over the different chains they have, let me feel the differences, and helped me decide on the length. I couldn't quite decide how fitted I wanted the necklace to be, so she put on two different clasps so I could change the length as I desired. (Honestly I would not have even considered this! I didn't realize this was an option, to customize my piece like that!) I love the necklace she created just for me. I wear it all the time and rarely notice the feeling of it against my skin. I love how beautiful it makes me feel when I see it in the mirror. Thanks for this piece! I can't wait to bring my friends along and add a new one to my collection.

Love this Art Show !
