            <title>Antique Shopping in Palm Beach County</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
As most people know, Boca Raton is located in Palm Beach County.  And as many people also know, Palm Beach County is home to some of the wealthiest people in the United States.  Because of this, the antique business in Palm Beach County is booming. Antiques are typically considered a luxury item. Perhaps it’s because of this fact that antiques represent wealth and status among the upper echelons of our society.  So antique stores, hoping to turn a profit, make sure that there is always a steady supply of antiques to appeal to the sensibilities of their wealthier clients. It also should be remembered that when clients wish to dispose of antique pieces, they often end up in antique stores in the Palm Beach area. This means that many beautiful “treasures” can often be found in these stores. 


So, where should the resolute antique shopper begin?  Dixie Highway’s famous “Antiques Row” is as good a place as any.   Over forty shops are located on this easily accessible stretch of highway.  There are elite shops like the Elephant’s Foot where antiques may be pricy, and thrift stores like The Animal Rescue League Thrift Shop and Gulfstream Goodwill.  There truly are stores that service the full spectrum of shoppers (and their wallets!).


There are also specialty antique shops located in Palm Beach County.  For instance, Harris Kratz specializes in neoclassical furnishings from 1790 to 1990; Galere specializes in twentieth century decorative art and furnishings. Boca Raton also boasts several antique specialty shops.  At “Antiques and Country Pine, “ it’s possible to find superb pieces of porcelain, jewelry, glass, bronze and art. In addition, the shop offers free appraisals and holds frequent auctions.  This past March 31, 2012, the store held an auction featuring “fine decorative arts and Chinese works.” This auction, like all their auctions, was open to the public.  A catalogue is always available to preview what will be sold at a particular auction.


Billed as the “South Florida's largest antiques mall,” Hillsboro Antique Mall and Café is located in Pompano Beach, just south of Boca Raton.  The mall is housed in a 35,000 square foot facility, and over 250 antique dealers can be found there on a daily basis.  The mall is open seven days a week, and is a prime destination for antique shoppers from all over south Florida. If a shopper wishes to receive advance warning about specials, she can sign up to receive a newsletter from the mall via email.


Once a month, there’s also a huge antiques show at the South Florida Fairgrounds. There are often more than 400 dealers in attendance.  And in February of each year, the International Fine Art and Antique Fair is held at the Palm Beach County Convention Center.  There are a number of other antique shows that are too numerous to mention.  The antique shopper will always find something to arouse his interest in the Palm Beach County antique market!

            <title>Mizner Park is a Boca Raton "Gem"</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Mizner Park is a beautifully renovated mall in Boca Raton.  It’s an outdoor mall that takes full advantage of the temperate Florida climate.  The architecture is a striking Mediterranean Revival. There’s a lush, tropical atmosphere with fountains and decorative walkways.  Many people come to the mall to just enjoy a stroll or sit and relax on one of the outdoor benches.  Of course, many others (especially the women) come to shop! 


Mizner Park is home to many shops and boutiques.  There are stores that cater to those interested in women’s apparel, accessories, jewelry, men’s apparel, shoes, housewares, pets, and children’s apparel.  Chain stores are represented as well as boutiques that carry many one-of-a-kind items.   Some of the stores even offer goodies to munch on while you shop.  Speaking of munching, Mizner Park also offers thirteen eateries.  Family friendly Ruby Tuesday’s is there as well as upscale Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse.  There are thirteen eating-places in all, offering such diverse fare as Mexican, Italian and Irish foods.


The Boca Raton Museum of Art is also housed at Mizner Park.  As its name implies, it features prominent works of art by local, regional and even international artists.  Antiques are also spotlighted at the museum.  And if a traveling art show is coming to town, it’s likely to be found at the museum in Mizner Park.  Outdoor concerts are also held in a large amphitheater in Mizner Park.  In April alone there will be a free concert by the Lynn University philharmonic, an annual Easter in the Park worship service, and the Boca Bacchanal Grand tasting event.  This fun affair includes wine tasting and sampling foods from several local restaurants. Be sure to arrive early, as it can get crowded!


And as if that’s not enough, Mizner Park also boasts rental apartments.  There truly is something for everyone at Mizner Park. So for all your shopping, epicurean and entertainment needs, check out Mizner Park.  You won’t be disappointed!

Boca Raton Wholesale Scuba and Snorkel Gear

&nbsp; 











I recently discovered a great website and resource for purchasing wholesale scuba 
and snorkel gear and equipment.&nbsp; The name of the company is Scuba Buy and you can visit their website at www.scubabuy.com. The animation and narration by the scuba sales girl is entertaining and informative and the price points are way below retail for superior quality gear. For more information contact the owner Lenny, a local Boca Raton resident, diver and fisherman at (561) 213-9993. Tell him Caesar sent you.

            <title>Under The Canopy, Based in Boca Raton, FL.</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ There are people who swear by the feel and long lasting benefits of organic clothing! 
Theres a company here in Boca Raton that designs organic items for your home and for you to wear. Managing Director of Under The Canopy (which has been in Boca Raton for over 10 years) Barbara Cavanagh, told the Miami Herald that &ldquo;Organic is the new luxury&rdquo;. 

Everything produced by her company is eco-friendly.  &quot;The main fabric we're using is organic cotton and that means the cotton is grown without the use of any kind of pesticides,&quot; said Cavanagh.  The article explained that 25 % of the world's pesticide use goes to growing conventional cotton. &quot;A normal t-shirt, for example, uses a third of a pound of chemicals,&quot; said Cavanagh.   

They sell t-shirts that have absolutely no chemicals of any kind in them. Ditto for their Organic cotton towels, bed linens or bathrobes. Under The Canopy supports the growing trend towards organic fibers. Nationwide sales of organic cotton have nearly tripled since 2003.
