The New River Marketplace is a pop up market hosted by History Ft. Lauderdale. It's held on the…read morelast Saturday of every month in front of the historic New River Inn along the New River. There is limited street parking which can be a bit of a challenge but the setting is so lovely that it is worth it. Admission to the market place is free. It was advertised as having 52 vendors and I would guess there wasn't even half of that. The vendors that were there sold sunglasses, clothing, second hand items, home services like gutters, and jewelry. My favorite vendor was Carolyn who sold second hand jewelry on the porch of the New River Inn. I loved poking through her treasures. She got all my money and I left with an opal ring, silver chain, and two pendants. Bring cash with you because some vendors like Carolyn do not accept cards.The event was advertised as having food and the only vendor I saw was Taco Baja selling tacos. There are a ton of restaurants in the area if the on site food is not to your liking. The museum is open during the market and adults can tour for $15. The New River Inn was built in 1905 and was one of Ft. Lauderdale's earliest hotels. History Ft. Lauderdale operates several historic buildings in this one area. The New River is very picturesque and it is a great place to take a stroll even if there is nothing going on. I enjoyed my market visit. These types of outdoor markets are very popular now and I think the great location has the potential to make this market a major event, especially if they add some more food and merchandise vendors.

There's a lot of whacky stuff to wander around and browse here, though most of it is exactly as…read moretacky as Canal Street wares; there are a couple of antiques vendors there that have some actually interesting and/or beautiful items, and of course there's New York Pickles. A smell comes down off the neighbouring trash mountain sometimes, but the building is decently climate controlled.

The Vintage Fair is an ongoing outdoor event at the Festival Flea Market. Admission and parking is…read morefree. It is located in the parking lot at the end near the Hillsboro Antique Mall. Items include handmade, vintage, antique, re-purposed and salvage. DJ Mike Locke provides the entertainment. On the day I visited I got there close to closing. I am not sure if some of the vendors already packed up but it looked like it. There was one huge tent and then one line of vendors outside. I mainly saw jewelry but here were also hummel figurines, depression glass and other assorted odds and ends. The vendors that were there were ready to wheel and deal. A lot of them were asking people to just make an offer and one women was offering and entire box of baubles for a dollar each. I was looking for some vintage pyrex but I didn't see any. If you want the best selection come when they open at 9 AM. I overheard some of the vendors say that they sold a lot of things earlier in the day. If you are just looking to perhaps snag a deal come close to 4 when the vendors are looking to sell rather than pack it up, The next fair is February 16th. Check the Festival Flea market's website under events for further dates.

Despite having lived next door to the Bergeron Rodeo for several years back in the 90's this was my…read morefirst visit. I won't go to a rodeo because I don't find abusing animals entertaining but a craft show on the other hand is right up my alley. This is an annual event sponsored by the town of Davie. The event was advertised as having 100 vendors. I don't think there were quite that many but they had a lot. Admission and parking were free. The tents filled the rodeo arena and outside it as well. People were selling plants, floral arrangements, zombie soup mix, jewelry, lights in alcohol bottles, soap, dream catchers, a tiny fairy garden, woodwork, stained glass, baked goods, clothes, bags, and a myriad of other hand made goods. They also had food and drink vendors and bounce houses and kids corner activities for children . The grounds were perfect for the craft show. There were plenty of clean bathrooms. The weather was gorgeous, the vendors were varied, and with the upcoming holidays it was the perfect time to shop. It is good to support the local arts community. This is a nice hometown event perfect for kids and adults.

I tend to enjoy these local events which I expect to find a variety of vendors. This is the second…read moreI have attended is the last several months but it didn't seem to have the number of vendors I expected based on the online posts. I did meet one woman who made jewelry which I loved. As we spoke, we realized we had so much in common. I did buy a few pieces from her and I'm sure we will be in touch. I do wish they had more vendors. Happy shopping!

When I moved to Florida, this was my very first incense shop I visited in 2002. It was and still is…read moreone of the best places to get your incense & other metaphysical items. I'm a huge fan of supporting small business and even more a business that supports the community. Especially after having my conversation with the owner Robby who is an extremely humble man. I've explored numerous metaphysical stores in South Florida, and it just so happened that I realized I haven't visited Make Incense in years. Tried doing a search on Google Maps and realized there was no listing - so I took a trip today and confirmed Make Incense is still operational. This shop is located inside Swap Shop Flea Market and the Booth number is V-29! Make incense carries a wide selection of incense, resins, bundled sage, incense holders/burners, camphor cube, water fountains, diffusers, fragrance oils, tapestry, statues, evil eye accessories and more. I've made sure to include photos below to show the variety of items Robby & Virginie of Make Incense carries. Make Incense carries a wide selection of one of my favorite incense brand Satya at a great price of 3/$5 and that's a steal. It's been that pricing since the business was opened in 1999 (which I learnt during today's visit). If you are in the area or visiting and looking for a great place to grab a variety of incense visit "Make Incense". You will not be disappointed.

They were happy to take my request and were incredibly kind throughout the entire process. The texture and flavor of the bread was impeccably fresh, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with blueberries perfectly balanced so that it wasn't overly sweet but still had that delicious fruity taste in each bite. I would absolutely recommend this farm to anyone looking for locally made sourdough. It's safe to say I LOVE blueberry sourdough bread and I'll definitely be coming back for more! ^^ (I forgot to take a picture and tore down on it after I got home since I hadn't eaten breakfast yet so the 1st picture is from the owner before I got my hands on it lol)

On a previous visit, we picked up a bottle of honey. They also have cookies but not during this visit. I believe they're on IG. Check them out and give them some support!

I believe it was free too. It wasn't too crowded when we went so we had time to enjoy every section. Pretty cool just like the set, take your photos and relive the show. There's a souvenir shop in the back in case you want some items. I'm a child of the 80s so I could relate to the items. We didn't buy anything but glad we checked it out. Didn't really need to interact with the staff as we were pretty much in & out in like 20 mins. I went to get a smoothie afterwards.

It will be here at least until November 6th but beyond that not much is known. It is free to experience. Park by the Macy's in the garage. It is next to Santa's Workshop which is under construction. You can put in for a ticket so you do t have to wait or you can just come down. There was only a 10 minute wait to get in. The main hold up was people who wanted their picture in front of the Stranger Things logo before entering. The wait was quick and I was entertained by the 80's music playing. The store has all of your Stranger Things merchandise and they have photo ops. You walk into the Byers living room. Complete with strung Christmas lights. It was so much fun to sit on Joyce's 80's couch. Other things you will recognize are the Starcourt Mall with Scoops Ahoy merch, the skating rink, the Hawkins School, Surfer Boy Pizza, and the Arcade where I had a blast reliving my youth with Ms. Pac-Man. You can even ride the kids bicycles into the upside down world. It was amazing how much of the show they got in. In the last room you are face to face with a demogorgon. This experience had a line because people stop and take pictures. Fans of the show will love seeing the TV show come to life. Merch is expensive but what price can you put on becoming a member of the Hell Fire club! The augmented reality pins looked really interesting. You can even personalize your shirts like a staff name on a Scoops Ahoy shirt or your name on a Hawkins team jersey. The only thing I didn't like was there was four registers set up and only one person checking out, The line to check out was longer than to see the demogorgon. They need more staff ringing up purchases. At the end a second person jumped on and after that it was better.

We stumbled into this store by accident. It's new to the mall and located next to Toku restaurant and across from Bella Luna restaurant on the Macy's side of the mall. Before you walk into the store, you'll see a Britto "LOVE" sign in front of the store. Totally Instagrammable. The store itself is beautiful and colorful, of course because BRITTO! Loved browsing and just admiring all the cool stuff. What really caught my attention was the Limited Edition Monopoly set. More so the $4k price tag!!!! OH. EM. GEEEEEE!!! It's #488 out of #2000 total sets. So crazy but mad cool too. But for $4k, I don't think I would let anyone touch this game if it were sitting in my house. Lol. The chess set was so beautiful too. Ahhhhh. The two gentlemen working at Britto were very professional, attentive and answered any questions I had. They were great!

JAPANESE DONUTS?…read more Still not sure about the connection between donuts and Japan but the inside did portray a strong Japanese influence with giant paper umbrellas and pink flowers pasted to the walls. Beautiful gourmet donuts were stacked in the glass display case begging for attention. DONUT: Maple Bacon Cake. The oreo cookie donut also looked amazing but I'm sure mass calories. TASTE: Amazing sweet bacon crumbled onto a moist cake, although could have been softer textured. PRICE: $3.15 - great value KITCHEN: Open concept to the customers to view. BATHROOM: Very clean gender neutral and continued the pink colors with rough gray stone lower walls accented by the dark brown wooden flooring. (See Pic) My opinion of the immediate area was highly sketchy and my head was on a swivel.
