Stopped by this past weekend for our antique shopping. This is the first time we have visited…read moreThrough the Years Vintage Market. You can park along the street, as there are no signs prohibiting it, but the vehicles do block the majority of the right lane. We were greeted upon entry and checked on during our perusing, but before entering we were also greeted by a Calico cat on the ramp leading to the entry door. They demanded a tax in the form of pets, which of course my wife had to oblige. The place is an older two-story home, which was obvious by the creeks of the floorboards. They have a lot of items to look at, which we love in a store; however, it would seem they are more geared to children with all the holiday items from Easter, to Halloween and Christmas. In the beginning, we were not impressed because the holiday items seemed to overwhelm the senses and draw attention from the actual antiques we were there to find, but the place eventually grew on us. Unfortunately, we did not find that had to have item and even though we enjoyed the time, we will not be adding this place to our favorites list to return yearly.

We did find the treasure pictured for a fantastic price. This gal was $45! Shocked because these are typically much higher in price. Daughter got it for me for my birthday. It is in great condition. Doesn't even look like it's been used. Variety of selections throughout this place and the best part is that it's air conditioned. People were friendly for the booths that were opened. This place is definitely on my list to come back and spend the day. I want to browse the whole market and the flea market across the way too.

Although I don't purchase if they don't haggle a bit. I understand they are trying to make money but the haggling is part of the experience. Also, just take their 10% off make them call the sellers and see I purchased two lamps that they wanted $495 for two I got for 200 when they said that they would never accept anything less than the 10% / 20% discount. Again I do enjoy the walkabout that antique smell is definitely there and most of the people are very friendly and interesting to talk to.

It was a WIN! One of the many places we visited was the Hospice Hope Chest. Let's start with the two ladies behind the counter who are simply lovely. My daughter and I both left with some treasures, she departed with more than I did. ;) I purchased a collectors item for a friend's birthday and a fantastic gold vintage clutch for myself. Let the record reflect I didn't need another gold nor vintage clutch, but also let the record reflect it gives me JOY! So for $8 and to support a great cause, I bought it. If you're a fellow thriftaholic and find yourself in Mount Dora, stop by the Hospice Hope Chest. It's an accessory haven and they also have a few amazing furniture pieces and lots of items for the home. The store is arranged well and the customer service is superb.

We were not on the market for anything in particular, we were just walking and talking while shopping. My friend found a super cute quilted blanket for $25. I found one of those stadium things for your pantry spices for $5. They had an Anchor brand casserole dish with lid and carrying case for $15; I should have bought that. They have a vintage bar cart that I want but again- what will I do with it? That's what I had to ask myself while perusing the store- what will you do with this? They have so much stuff! Not everything has a lot of detail. How much silver if any at all- are those old silverware sets? Ladies at the register were nice. We will come back again- I'm sure they have many donations throughout the week.

It's near the restaurant that was converted from an old gas station. There was a good amount of parking for the mall when I went in the late afternoon. This is another location where vendors rent space in the mall and sell their goods under one roof. Any purchases are taken to the front to be rung up and paid for. This one was a bit more organized in the respective stalls and had a good balance of collectibles, home decor, clothing, accessories, and miscellaneous items. I personally saw more retro or modern items in the booths this time versus true antiques or vintage items I feel. Staff were friendly and welcoming to everyone in there.

The shop has a solid selection with plenty to explore, all at affordable prices, and it is the kind of place where you can take your time and still keep discovering something new with each pass through the crates. I left with a few great finds and would definitely return again.
