Group Road Trip to Arcadia, Florida

Today, seven members of our group took a road trip to visit the antique shops and have lunch in the central historical area of Arcadia, Florida. Arcadia is located about midway between Sarasota County on our West Coast and Palm Beach County on our East Coast. The weather couldn't have been better.



On visiting our first antique/consignment shop, the owner liked the necklace Debbie was wearing so much that she asked her to leave it with her on consignment as the owner has a customer who loves larger jewelry. She also asked Debbie to bring in additional pieces and possibly leave them on consignment as well.


We had lunch at Mary Margaret's Tea Room on Polk Street (the lunch bunch). While the menu is limited, everyone thought the food was delicious, and the desserts were well worth the extra calories (Lake with Tea Room Server in top hat and tails). Then we spent several more hours scouring the antique/consignment stores on Oak Street. Finally, it was time to head home with our treasures after a long and exciting day.
