We're all about Sanford Florida!
Another great mall in Seminole county is the Altamonte Mall. It is about 15 minutes from Sanford and features more stores than the Seminole Town Center in Sanford (soon Sanford will have one of the most awesome stores though, H&M!), including an Apple Store.The Altamonte Mall, just as the Seminole Town Center Mall is also [...]
Sanford FL is a great place to enjoy a relaxed Saturday morning, away from all the hustle and bustle. Since I also wanted to check out the new covered shade I had written about during the week, I decided to visit the weekly Sanford Farmers Market on Magnolia Square and then walk a bit through [...]
If you are ever looking for a place in the area that not only alters clothing but also custom tailors dresses or tuxedos, you should stop by Imperial Design, a store off 17-92 in Casselberry. Their services go beyond the occasional sewing jobs you might leave at your dry cleaners (I have 2 left hands [...]
As requested by most of our guests from anywhere in the US or the world (in this case Jose’s primas de Colombia) we typically visit Orlando’s most popular outdoor outlet mall, the new Prime Outlet on International Drive. I personally don’t mind the request by the way. So this Memorial Day I drove down to [...]
247 Days and other than in a quick post about Santa at the mall I hadn’t yet mentioned one of my favorite places in Sanford: the Seminole Towne Center Mall (yes, it is spelled with an “e”!). Well, I’m saying favorite places because I just like shopping in general. I have to admit, there are [...]
Well, my digital camera (Casio Exilim) had been acting up for a while and many of my pictures actually never turned out right (had a funny pink neon glow around all brighter spots, especially during day time photography) so I finally decided to get a new digital camera. Since Circuit City (where I had my [...]
After Circuit City I am sad to see yet another business of the Target Plaza at W P Ball Boulevard go: Ritz Camera in Sanford is closing and having a closing sale. Hopefully this is the last one to go and the vacant building will be filled promptly. Since we have seen so many local [...]
Mosaic Station is located on Palmetto Avenue in downtonw Sanford FL. The store doesn’t only offer mosaic supplies and custom mosaic art work, it also offers private mosaic classes which I think is a great idea! If you’d like more info about those classes, give them a call at 407.323.3555. Studio Hours are by appointment [...]
Yes, the Hollerbach Willow Tree Cafe, Sanford’s famous German restaurant has a new look! They also have expanded and there are rumors that they are soon moving a European food store into the store next door (formerly Maya’s Used Books store – but don’t worry, Maya’s Book store is still there, she just moved further [...]
Since I was looking for a vacuum cleaner today I had to visit 2 local home improvement warehouse stores: Home Depot and Lowes. To make a long story short: no, I didn’t find what I was looking for. Nevertheless I took my daily pics at the two locations. I couldn’t help but wonder: are you [...]
Shear Bliss Salon and Day Spa is located at Lake Mary’s Colonial Town Park. I have not been to this salon yet but they sure offer some great services (as you can see on their site). This 7,200 square feet salon offers * 23 Hair Stylists * 4 pedicure stations * 5 Nail Technicians * [...]
After work we stopped by the local Sanford Dollar Tree store (located at the Gateway Plaza right by the Seminole Towne Center Mall, you know, the one where you can also find Toys’R’Us and Bed Bath & Beyond) to buy some promo items for a fun gift that we were putting together. I have to [...]
Sanford is known for its beautiful antique stores where you can find unique pieces and collectibles that make a great addition to your home and also a great gift. I took my daily picture of the sign of one of the antique stores in downtown Sanford. “Something Special” is located right on First Street. If [...]
Gallery on First is Sanford’s unique art gallery, a gallery that can almost be referred to as interactive. Why? Because Gallery on First strives to educate the public and open up the conversation between people interested in art and emerging artists. Part of the interaction are classes offered by the gallery and their artists in [...]
The Corona Cigar Company at Colonial Towne Park in Lake Mary is always a fun place to hang out, even if you’re not a cigar lover. The inside features handmade furniture from Nicaragua and Latin American accent pieces and decor. In fact, you might almost feel like sitting in an authentic cigar factory. Of course, [...]
One of the stores in Sanford I will definitely check out soon is St. John’s Cycles. The store is located on Palmetto Avenue in Downtown Sanford.St. John’s Cycles will mainly sell Blue, Look, Scott, and Electra cruisers. I think it would be a wonderful idea to also offer an hourly rent a bicycle service. The [...]
Not long ago the old Alberston’s supermarket at the Colonial Towne Center turned into a brand new Publix. Publix opened this new location in November of 2008. It’s a very spacious store and if I didn’t live a bit closer to the Publix on Highway 46 I would definitely shop more here, but you know [...]
The Riverhouse Pottery and Art Gallery in downtown Sanford is not only a good place to find gifts for family and friends but also to learn a bit more about art. I just walked by their business on Palmetto Avenue and saw their banner advertising art classes (see photo below). Call them at 407-323-9272 to [...]
This year I was finally able to attend a real Midnight Madness. Even though I didn’t buy anything (too confusing and crowded) I am glad I went. It was a cool experience and kind of exciting to go to a mall at midnight. Here’s a short video: Pin It
Even though I already had a post dedicated to Aldi and its newest store in Sanford, FL (see Day 44), I wanted to just quickly put together a list of things you should know before shopping at Aldi. Today was my official first visit at the Aldi store in Sanford and I was excited to [...]
