It is well worth making the turn off the main strip because you will find quite a few treasures here. The store is located in a historic building from 1918 that was formerly owned Henry W. who operated the H.W. Rice Garage and Machine Shop. The business was later owned by Lewis Bishop who invented the rotary mower that revolutionized mowing grass. On the side of the building is ample parking. On the first floor of the building you will find room upon room of all kinds of bric-a-brac, furniture, jewelry, home goods, and collectibles. The store had quite a few vintage Christmas items which set it apart from some of the other stores I visited during my stay. You never know what you will find which is what makes the hunt so fun.

They let you meander through this amazing store at your leisure. Take the time to explain any information that they may have about an item and are happy to assist you at all times. This store is chock full of Christmas Decorations, old Trunks, glassware, furniture, jewelry, tin work, countless and nameless (to me) discoveries. Extremely reasonable prices. The owners go to NY, Brimfield, etc., to bring these treasures back to SWFl. I have been here are several occasions and leave with something. Either as a gift, project or new addition to my home. Any friend who has come with me has also purchased and wants to know when we are returning! By far the best shop in Arcadia!

Antiques & More is one of 20 antique stores lining Oak Street in historic downtown Arcadia. Arcadia…read morewas destroyed in a fire in 1905 and the buildings on Oak Street are from the early 1900's when the city was rebuilt. This store is located in the L.L. Morgan building which was the first building to be rebuilt after the fire. The upper facade of the building bears Morgans name and the 1906 date. On the first floor Morgan sold hardware and furniture and the top floor was the mortuary. When you look in the back on the first floor you can still see the pulley system that was used to hoist the bodies up to the top floor! I had a wonderful time visiting with Glenda who is the owner of this store. She told me how she used to have a Sear catalog business and rent to own business before selling antiques. In addition to selling her own items she also rents space to other vendors. Only the first floor of the building is open and she is using the two upper floors for storage. In the store you will find several rooms stuffed with housewares, furniture, bric-a-brac, jewelry, books, and a ton of other stuff. If you are interested in history she sells two great books about Arcadia on her counter. I was interested in the vintage Pyrex dishes in the hard to find turquoise snowflake pattern with glass lid. It is a rare color and even harder to find with a lid. The seller wanted top dollar and after a quick phone call she refused to budge on the price so I passed. I am still looking for a bargain. Although I left empty handed meeting Glenda was a highlight of my trip. There is so much to explore here and Glenda is wonderful about providing information on the items in her store and about Arcadia.

This antique store has been in business since 2003. The owner named the store for her Florence ceramic figurine, Abigail. Inside the store you can find several rooms stuffed to the ceiling with glass ware, collectibles, home goods, jewelry, and furniture. They had a nice selection of Highwaymen paintings hanging on the wall for sale. I had a lovely time talking with the lady running the counter about the history of Arcadia. She told me several interesting stories. I loved my time exploring Abigail's.

The fitting room lady was so friendly with every question I asked her. The only negative was that I had several bras so it did take me a minute to try them on and she started to bang on the door as soon as I finished. I would just recommend not pounding on the door so hard to check on a customer but besides that I would definitely be coming back here if I'm ever in the Arcadia area again.
