I was thrilled to see them feature Mr. Eyes, offering a free meet & greet as well as showcasing his event-exclusive originals. It was put together & handled very well from the minute I showed up. Although it's on the smaller side, they made sure the artwork was displayed in a great place to ensure you could see it well. Their space offers enough room to accommodate a solid crowd. The line didn't interfere with the display so people could walk through to view it whenever they pleased. To top it off, they even offered free water/drinks & snacks as we waited in line. B&B is a nifty little hidden gem in Lauderhill. There's always some cool art to look at when you visit. Their prices aren't expensive by any means but of course they still carry some pricey work, especially if you're talking about an original. If you're into artwork this place will surely make you happy!

The place is quite big and the shelves are well stocked with old and new books at good prices. It may take a little bit to learn the genres and if you're looking for specific books, you may need to ask the staff for help. The staff here are nice and when I called to ask if they accepted donations, they politely said yes they will accept small amounts. I assume they may limit the amount they accept as there are many boxes of books there that are not even opened or on the shelves yet so they may be back logged. Used bookstores are a rare find and I think it's so awesome to have a place like Bookwise in the local community!

Such is the case with Steamy Lit, part of a collective of romance-centric bookstores founded in 2021 by Navy veteran Melissa Saavedra. During the pandemic, she launched The Steam Box, a quarterly romance book subscription service. Steamy Lit has since expanded to locations in Tampa and Miami Springs, along with a store relocated from Deerfield Beach to the Thrive District in Fort Lauderdale. Steamy Lit is known for promoting sexual empowerment while highlighting underrepresented voices. On the shelves, you'll find books by romance authors of color as well as nonbinary and genderqueer writers. Categories include Morally Gray Dark Romance, Libros en Español, If You Got Dragged Here, Black Authors, Debí Leer Más Libros Book Club Picks, Otherworldly, Special Editions, Autographed Books, and more. I personally enjoy a historical romance novel every now and then. They even have a fun section where you can go on a mystery date with a book. Although the title is hidden, they provide the price and a few hints about the plot. They also sell stickers, clothing, accessories, and novelties. The store features inviting seating where you can curl up with a book, and they frequently host book clubs, craft nights, author meet-and-greets, signing events, meetups, and other social gatherings. If you're a romance reader, book lover, or simply someone looking for a unique experience, Steamy Lit is worth a visit. They do more than just sell books. By putting the spotlight on romance novels, they are building community while fostering inclusion.

The spot is so welcoming and the lady who was running the store that day was incredibly nice. It is a well-organized, clean bookstore with a surprising amount of variety. There is plenty of seating too and the large windows and natural light made the place feel all the more inviting. Definitely a cool place to check out if you're looking for romance books (and some other books), or if you're just in the area.

It's a cool little, well not too little place which sells artwork with your favorite cartoon characters from Batman to Fred Flintstone and even Betty Boop. They also sell random toys, candies and tumblers/mugs with (again) your favorite characters. The only bad side to my experience here was the the employees sat on the couch the entire time using their cellphone. Maybe they knew I was just looking? Either way it wasn't the best customer service I've ever had. Overall though I would still come back should I need something specific to this place.

But i couldn't have been more wrong. Not that i know much about art, but certain things just grab my attention, and there were several of those in this small gallery. But by far, my most favorite was this painting named "Porcelain Dreams". I attached a photo of it. It is the only piece that I actually contemplated buying. Unfortunately in my house I am going with more classic art look, but when i am done with the main rooms, maybe I can find a place for this one as well

This is the place to go for all your invitations needs- weddings, bar-mitzvahs, holidays, birth announcements. You name it and Connie has it! She carries over a hundred different books of invitations (both traditional and modern looks). I ordered my bat-mitzvah invitations from her about 14 years ago and just visited her again to discuss wedding invitations. I've also gone to Connie many times in the past few years as my friends have gotten married. Connie has turned their wedding invitations into gorgeous mosaic boxes, which brides and grooms will treasure for years to come!
