Pyrex and Primitives

Before heading out for the day, I took a few photos of the house we are renting.  Nice heated pool & spa.

We went on our way to visit Through The Years Vintage Market, a shop in Tavares that will be sponsoring a Vintage Christmas show on Saturday.  Their photos online also show that they have tons of Pyrex.  But first we stopped at the Union Congregational Thrift Shop.  There prices were great.  Elly bought 4 shirts for $5.  We love church thrift shops.

We then continued down the street to the Vintage store.  It was jam packed with merchandise, no bargains here. The shop was really pretty and well laid out.They place has tons of Purex at retail prices.

The store was well decorated and had theme rooms.  We think it was a group shop but all the merchandise was inter-mingled. We were chatting with one of the owners who said that they have a vacation home in Oqunquit Maine and make buying trips each year and drive a truck load of merchandise down to Florida every year.  So this is all New England stuff!

We told her that we are more into the primitive antiques.  She directed us to a shop in Mount Dora that had lots of primitives!  Let's go there!  But lets get something to eat while the rain passes!

Irish Restaurant for a salad and beer

The train passing though. This is the train that runs in back of the house.

The place was called "Meant to Bee Treasures".

Primitives just like the stores back in MA

Lots of painted furniture

The Chintzy Room

The store owner was real nice and also gave us the name of another store like hers in Apopka, Another road trip is now being planned.
