I never tire of looking around this shop which is chuck full of all manner of items from Wacky Women items (the creator lives close by Mt. Dora) to Key West Key Lime treats and there's also samples of the multiple sauces and crackers for sale in the shop....and if you're 21 (or a little older like me) you can try the tropical favors of their wine smoothies that are also for sale here. The shop is so full I recommend you take you time. The staff is laid back and friendly---check them out they're on face book.

I enjoyed seeing the arts and craft creations of local artists - and found a great gift choice by Aphrodite art design. Artist "on duty" was very knowledgeable and a great help.

This shop has a lot of items made in the good old USA. The inventory is ever changing, so there is always something new in this well organized establishment. It is well worth the stop, in Mount Dora.
