When I say it's over the top Christmas decorations, I mean OVER THE TOP. I've never seen anything like it, and I mean that in a great way. If you're looking for wonderful Christmas decorations, accessories, ornaments, etc. This is definitely worth a trip before Christmas. I went 3 times this year LOL. I bought some fun new ornaments for our tree and my friend bought home accents. They also sell other items - candles, jewelry, a wide range of dips/mixes. They walk around with samples of drinks and dips so you can check out their mixes. They also sell jams and relishes. This last trip, we bought the bacon/horseradish dip and the chipotle ranch dip. I made the bacon one into a dip and the ranch one into a cheese ball. Both were delicious. My friend bought and made the apple cider drink, which has you add caramel vodka. The drink was delicious! The Christmas Jam was also a hit (it's strawberry/cranberry). Highly recommend if you're near Eustis - and there's a Foxtail next door if you want to grab a quick coffee and sit out and enjoy the beautiful weather.

The Village Antique Mall is conveniently open seven days a week with plenty of free parking in front. Bring your sense of adventure and prepare to spend some time here because there are at least 60 vendors over 12,000 square feet of building. The mall's layout is a maze of aisles and nooks begging to be explored. Each of the booths were set up attractively by theme with so many items to investigate. Inventory included antique furniture, clothes, jewelry, accessories, books, textiles, ceramics, glass, lighting, home goods, vintage toys, holiday decorations, steampunk, antiques, and vintage items. Some of the things that caught my eye were a wall of vintage Tupperware, my beloved vintage Pyrex, uranium glass, an Elvis bust, and beautiful stained glass lamps. If you collect something, they probably have it. Visiting this store is like time traveling through the history of the American home. So many memories are sure to be sparked. Whether you're an avid collector or simply enjoy the thrill of discovering hidden gems, there is no telling what you will find at the Village Antique Mall. If there is a drawback to shopping here, it would be the prices are on the high side. The friendly staff and huge selection however were an added bonus.

It's near the restaurant that was converted from an old gas station. There was a good amount of parking for the mall when I went in the late afternoon. This is another location where vendors rent space in the mall and sell their goods under one roof. Any purchases are taken to the front to be rung up and paid for. This one was a bit more organized in the respective stalls and had a good balance of collectibles, home decor, clothing, accessories, and miscellaneous items. I personally saw more retro or modern items in the booths this time versus true antiques or vintage items I feel. Staff were friendly and welcoming to everyone in there.

We wanted to check out some antique or vintage shops/malls in Mount Dora area a little after the…read moreholidays. This was one of the locations that came up - the antique center does have stalls open during the week aside from the outdoor market they have outside the facility on Sundays. Similar to some of the other antique malls or multi-stall stores I've been to, there are different stalls that are rented out by different vendors that sell different items. Depending on when you visit, some may not be open for business and will be roped off or have signs saying when they will be open next. We did go when some folks were still off for the holidays, which resulted in a handful of closed stalls, but a good number of the locations were open to wander and shop. Some of the stalls sell vintage and retro items and others like the large toy/doll stall on one of the ends sell deadstock collectible items. I think there's something there for everyone - I saw booths for books, dolls, collectibles, old wartime items, jewelry, and home decor. Pricing does vary for each of the booths and items. Some may run some deals and they will have signs to call out what is on sale in their booth. I did not purchase anything, but I believe if the owner of the booth is not present, you can go to one of the desks throughout the center and ask the folks working there to assist with purchases or for unlocking locked cabinets to see something. There was a decent amount of parking when I went, but if you do go during the outside market on Sundays, I suspect you'd want to go early to get a spot.

Although I don't purchase if they don't haggle a bit. I understand they are trying to make money but the haggling is part of the experience. Also, just take their 10% off make them call the sellers and see I purchased two lamps that they wanted $495 for two I got for 200 when they said that they would never accept anything less than the 10% / 20% discount. Again I do enjoy the walkabout that antique smell is definitely there and most of the people are very friendly and interesting to talk to.
