I am in love! I am a huge card-making nerd and I discovered this place while wandering around…read moredowntown Mt. Dora. It's located in a precious antique-looking house and features 2 different floors of stamping heaven! Literally every surface of this shop is covered with supplies and stamps. My favorite part of this store is the plethora of sample cards that the owners have scattered throughout the store. I seriously had creative overload. They make the most beautiful cards and everything you need to make them is right there at your fingertips. I didn't see one stamp there that I've seen at other local shops. Don't expect to see anything you'll find at JoAnn or Michael's. These are unique and good quality stamps! The owners have them organized by "theme" - holidays, names, birthday, etc... so it's easy to find what you are looking for. There are also a ton of embossing powders and embelishments as well. Basically, anything you need you can find here! Classes are offered a few time a week, for a fee of around $15 if you want to learn some new techniques! This is such a great local business. It's owned by a mom and daughter team and they have been around for 3 years. These people truly love what they do and opening this store was a dream of theirs. If you are into arts and crafts, go check them out!

What a cool little shop. It's a collective from different artists which gives you an amazing…read moreassortment of different things to choose from to buy. Myself, I loved the hand painted, hand made ornaments and the soaps that were made near by. They smell amazing and will make great gifts. There's a young man who bought one of the businesses off of someone else, and it's for making jewlery. He even sells jewelery Making kits for you if you want to make your own out of beads that he provides. It's great! I bought from him too, because I'm all for fostering business of kids. You will find so many unique and beautiful things made by diverse crafters in this shop. Truly, stop in and buy!

We visited Yada Yada pottery on a Saturday, and were informed of all the great, handmade items. We…read morereturned the following week to spend a little bit of time custom painting pieces that we selected for Christmas gifts. The gnome I selected was only $12. I bought cookies from the cafe, and my girlfriend enjoyed a coffee and muffin. We spent a relaxing hour at the table, taking our time to relax and talk. Another customer joined us and we had a really nice conversation about the holidays. Our pieces were left with the shop to be fired in the kiln; a few days later, we were called to pick up our pieces. My gnome turned out greater than expected; so good that I will not be placing it on the porch with our other small plants and gnomes. My girlfriend's pieces are going to make wonderful Christmas gifts. I wish I could custom make some gingerbread men and snowmen ornaments for our relatives that lost every in the recent floods. We will be returning soon to take pottery wheel classes, and to make custom dishes. Oh,,, while painting our pieces, I noticed that the brush holder cups, the cookie plate, and several other items in the shop were handmade. This is a great way to show the practicality of making things, and the creative ideas put to use. I felt very welcomed in this place of business, and look forward to returning many times in the future. Thanks Juliette (the owner) for answering all of my questions, and making me and my girlfriend feel comfortable and appreciated.

The Gate house is a gift store located on the property of the historic Lakeside Inn. Built in 1906…read morethe building was the gatehouse for the inn. Now it is used to sell works by regional artists and souvenirs of the Lakeside Inn. Items include jewelry, art, wood, glass work, woven goods, soap, yard decorations, and books by regional authors. I like how they have signs listing details about the artists. I believe the artists also come to the store for exhibitions so you can meet them in person. The items were exquisite and therefor expensive but they did have a sales table. One necklace I admired was $65. There are two rooms filled with unique, one of a kind items. The whole store is darling. I could have easily spent the bank there. Unfortunately it was the first store I looked through in Mt. Dora so I wasn't willing to commit to anything but I would definitely come back next time I visit.
