I have been stopping in this quaint boutique for the last few months and being greeted by a lovely…read moreyoung lady named Kaylee who has always been friendly and attentive. Today I finally stopped in with enough time to browse this lovely boutique and lo and behold discovered if you make a Brighton $100 purchase you receive a free darling holiday "Love Dove" cross-body bag. It's very rare to find a small boutique that has similar offers as big box retailers. I was immediately impressed as I had in mind a gorgeous arm cuff (bracelet) I had seen during prior visits. What was even more impressive was that my cuff totaled $98 and while most retailers would make you buy something else to reach the full $100 before tax, they honored that amount and gifted me the free cross-body bag anyway!! So needless to say, I decided to get a second piece from them, after all. (Pic) I'm in love with my new Brighton jewelry pieces and with their great customer service. Also, today I met the owner who's name, I share - Millie. What a sweet lady who immediately drew me into conversation with her warm personality and her apology for having a stack of envelopes on the floor as she was shipping out orders. Turns out, Millie was elated that she sells an item that was featured by Oprah as one of her annual holiday favorite things - a combo key/phone finder keychain fob called "Orbit" (see pic) and was overjoyed with the amount of orders she received as a result of Oprah favs! One of the best thing to find out was that Millie's price for the "Orbit" is $32 while many other retailers is selling it as high as $40. Thus the pile of orders she was shipping out today. (See pic) This seals my love for boutique shopping and for bringing her my business. As I I told the owner this is my favorite boutique in Broward county. Such elegant and unique finds and warm, friendly and fair people.

An interesting candy store nestled in Wilton Manors along the infamous Wilton Drive amongst several…read moreother businesses comically named with sexual innuendos. The front wall and roof of the store screamed Candy Candy Candy by it's vibrantly colorful lollipops, gum drops and taffy decor. This was going to be a quick stop since parking on Wilton Drive is limited and notorious for citations by the aggressive meter maid. Based on my concern, the sole employee advised that a few free parking spaces in the rear are available for a strict maximum of fifteen minutes, which is a kind offering. The inside was much larger than the front view of the building reflects. The giant yellow Haribo bear stood proudly by the front door with bags of sour gummies hanging from it's chest. For chocolate enthusiasts, there was an entire section dedicated to fresh chocolate treats. At a quick glance, it was evident that a large amount of the candies were old school big brands. Aside from candies, there were novelty gifts which include coffee mugs with celebrity, pride rainbow and 80's TV shows like Seinfeld, Peanuts or Laverne and Shirley prints. Hundreds of hanging decorative ornaments fill the ceiling but unsure if those are for sale. Very cool candy store with alot of originality and snug parking.

Than this past Tuesday they had a pop up store as did Pure Barre being held in the "Living Room" at the W Hotel on Ft. Lauderdale beach. One of the owners of this store was on hand with her son. For just a small pop up I was able to find a cute over body bag, a contemporary pull over as well as a nice small umbrella with different cats on it and a holiday kitchen towel that says All I want for Christmas is Veuvre! Than the next day while attending class I arrived early and their store was still open. I got to meet the other owner as well as a nice flamingo ornament. They have their holiday tree already setup in the front window They have a great selection of gifts for the holidays at various price points. Definitely something for everybody on your list.

Umbrellas are left in heaping piles on a table out front for you to rummage through on your way out. The line to enter was wrapped around War Memorial, and rain was continuous. It appeared to be a 45-60 minute WAIT to enter. When asking about entering we were told, due to capacity limits, admission was based upon those exiting. For those who were leaving their review was, it is extremely crowded and challenging to get close to a vendors table. Several others said it was just "ok". We decided to leave the ever growing line and not wait. Recommendation to the organizers, consider holding this at the Convention Center I would happily pay parking for the convenience of actually entering the Bazaar. I wasn't the only one who left as you can imagine people who witnessed the extremely long, winding line left without ever getting close to the front of the line. Good Luck to those going today, I hope the experience is a positive one.

Others might call them whatnots or gifts, but there are plenty of them along with a lot of clocks which they term as being "distinctive treasures for the home," and distinctive they are as I haven't seen any of their inventory elsewhere. So, if you want some sort of house gift that nobody else in the area sells, The Tickin Ribbit might be for you. When I walked in I was given a warm and friendly greet though, because the owner or staff were visiting with friends, I didn't speak with them but just looked around. However, it was clear that this was there Grand Opening and I believe first full day in business.
