Pickers Paradise is definitely my kind of Eden. I stopped in during a recent trip through Central…read moreFlorida, and from the moment I saw the metal exterior covered in vintage road signs, I knew I was in for both a walk down memory lane and a serious treasure hunt. This massive antique mall spans over 18,000 square feet and features around 140 vendor booths filled with gently used items, antiques, and vintage finds. The space is spread across multiple rooms, with vendors offering everything from toys and furniture to home goods, collectibles, tools, and art. No matter what you're into, there's something here to catch your eye. I especially loved the mix of old and new--everything from the contemporary Temptations cookware I love to the vintage Pyrex I adore. One booth even had an incredible wall of Loungefly bags. Being in Central Florida, there's also a great selection of Disney-themed items sprinkled throughout. Be sure to follow the arrows on the floor so you don't miss the hidden upstairs area--it's easy to overlook and totally worth checking out. You could easily spend hours browsing here. If you need a break, there's a Touch of Philly cheesesteak food truck on-site, plus a snack counter inside offering chips and popcorn. The friendly staff really enhances the experience with their helpful service and welcoming vibe. Prices vary by vendor--some items were higher than I expected, while others were absolute steals. Keep an eye out for sales, as they're scattered throughout the booths. All in all, Pickers Paradise is a fun and rewarding stop for anyone looking to rediscover a little nostalgia or score a unique find.

I could spend hours in here and and still find something I didn't see earlier. They have a great selection from vintage toys, home decor, Pokemon cards to homemade jams. The prices were fair unlike other antique stores I've been to before. Staff was not only hilarious but most helpful. If you like hunting for vintage items then this is your place. If you're near the Orlando area...I highly recommend making a drive here!

There are two owners (husband & wife), & a total of 25 dealers represented here. The owners were away today (7/21/19); the older gentleman (dealer) who replaced them was a sweetheart-- friendly & helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. (Truly a great guy:) There was vintage furniture here, including antique furniture (100 years or older). There were even some really nice primitive pieces, such as a butler's sideboard (see pic). The glass items sold here are beyond reproach-- so many quality glass pieces (such as Fenton) in mint condition. Lots of Roseville & Hull pottery as well. Impressive collection of glassware & pottery at fair prices! Lots of vintage silver jewelry here, along with some 10k, 12k, & 14k pieces. I saw an extensive coin collection, & many vintage dolls & toys, Disney collectibles, as well as camping cookware, vintage tools, vinyl & CD's, mid century glassware, clocks, & lighting. (I could go on & on:) As someone who has spent considerable time antiquing over the years, this is a shoppe I would visit quite often if I lived closer. Definitely the best vintage glass collection (& prices) I've come across anywhere. Gorgeous vases! (What's odd is that I realize now that I took NO pics of all the gorgeous pieces. Lol.) Cash, Discover, MasterCard, & American Express accepted.

If you need help or want to see something closer you just have to let them know. There were several rooms of art, home goods, dishes, collectibles, tools, records, toys, holiday decorations, jewelry, furniture, light fixtures, and wonderful smelling candles. There was quite a bit to look at but the aisles are narrow so you have to watch your step. Out back they sell plants. I found a small trinket box in my grandmother's China pattern. While paying I received 20 percent off and the offer of coffee and a slice of carrot cake from the sweet ladies ringing me up. I was delighted them up on their generosity. The great selection, fair pricing, and wonderful customer service makes this lovely shop a must stop in Winter Haven.

According to their Facebook Page they specialize in "antiques, vintage, painted furniture and curiosities." Everything was attractively displayed and there was so much to look at in one large room and another side room. Everything was clearly marked and prices were very reasonable ranging from only a few dollars to much more expensive items. They even had a half off table. Some of my favorite items were an antique school desk, a set of 1950's Libbey wine glasses, an antique muffin tin, and a small ceramic bird for only a few dollars. The sweetly patterned aprons would make a great gift for any cook. The store holds antique fairs on the second Saturday of every month. Check the store website for updates.

As soon as I walked in I was met by the greeter, security, manager, and all around good boy Nash. Nash accompanied me around the store a bit before he got bored and went to take a nap. Good help is hard to find. G's is an antique mall made up of booths with individual vendors. If you find something you like you can just bring it up front and pay. They had a wide variety of inventory including furniture, home goods, clothing, books, and holiday decorations. There was even a saddle which is how you know you are in farm country. My favorite booth was the vintage kitchen with the vintage Pyrex I love. I found the prices on the Pyrex to be comparable to other stores I have shopped in Central Florida. G's does a great job decorating their windows for the holidays and right now it is Christmas themed. Follow them on Facebook for their latest and greatest inventory as well as updates to Lake Wales Main Street. Kisses for you Nash!
