After we spent the day at Cross Creek,
we stopped in Micanopy to walk around and shop!
Photos taken on the drive...
Some of the movie, Cross Creek was set in Micanopy. Another movie shot here was Doc Hollywood featuring Michael J. Fox. We want to watch that again soon, too! (And yes I take photos out my side window going 60 mph! lol)
Let me crop myself out now....heehee! Ahhh...much better!
Kim at the Daisy Cottage has done some wonderful posts on Micanopy and there's even a link to her blog on the Welcome to Micanopy website!
We walked the small downtown.....going into antique stores and book shops...
And the very best store of all was The Shop !
Oh, the things you will see!
So many amazing things made with shells!
I couldn't see everything...
the shop is so full of treasures!
I bought this precious little metal bird...
and hope to go back when I am in the shopping mood!
This is all I bought...I must have been VERY tired! lol
He's been hopping all over the house....
Thanks for your comments on the fun we've had here in Florida!
Enjoy your day!

Great photos! Thanx for sharing!
Oh the shops look so fun! I told my daughter to bring me back some seashells when she returns from her trip to Myrtle Beach.I cant wait I have so many ideas for them.
Happy Thursday Diane!
I love that little town! If I knew you were going there I would have told you to look for a really COLORFUL house near the edge of town....she has a mosaic sign I made hanging on her fence....
Here is a link to it:

There's nothing like those wonderfully beach little shops in Florida, is there?! Can't get enough of them to be sure. Those shell encrusted treasures are just breathtaking. I would'ave bought them all to take home! :)
Enjoying your blog and will be joyfully following!

Thank you for the tour, what a gorgeous drive to a fabulous place. Thanks for the links too, I just clicked on there and saw the lovely things. I love shells, and what better place to find treasures made with them than Florida.

I've seen pictures here and there of that little town. Maybe even in Southern Living. Looks like so much fun!
Those are great pics, Diane. I am definitely going to have to add Micanopy to the places I want to visit on my next Florida trip! Thanks for sharing!
XOXO,
Cyndi
Oh my...that looks like seashell heaven! I would have gone bonkers in there!
Thank you for visiting my blog today.

I have never been to Florida . I just never thought about it. I have now. You have opened my eyes to what a treasure it is. Speaking of treasure the seashells in the shop are gorgeous. I would have wanted everything. I loved the seashell wreath. I think I will make one !!!

It's always fun to see objects made from shells.
What a find - your metal bird. It is so cute!
Nothing like it around where I live! Love the framed sea fan, so stunning!
What a fabulous store! I've never seen so many things made with shells before! What a beautiful place!

I've been through Micanopy, but have never spent the day there. Mt. Dora is another one of those lovely little Florida towns with shops! And as much as I know about my home state... I never knew that's where Doc Holiday was filmed! Go figure!
What a fun little town and the shop is wonderful! I like the shells and mermaids!
The little bird is so much fun to have hopping around your house!
Lovely photos! I really love the big dark thunder clouds in the sky! I rarely get to see that. Looks like a great time. ;-)
What great photos! Love the one of the old barn!! Micanopy looks like a very charming town...and the shop looks wonderful. Love the little bird that you got...too cute!!

Micanopy looks brilliant, I wish I could go there, a bit far away for me! Ha ha! But it looks wonderful, especially that shop! I love the little bird, so cute! Have a happy weekend! Suzie xxx
Good Morning!!!!
AWESOME photos!!! I loved seeing them and I'm so happy that you had a lovely visit..... it is the quaintest little town, isn't it? I really need to get back there. One day, for sure!!! I could stay in the book store alone for hours.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend sweet one.
Love,
Kim
That looks like a wonderful visit to a quaint town. I didn't know such existed in Florida. I take pictures at 60mph, too, but not like those. Wow!
I love the old weathered barn and the shop full of shell gifts! Such a scenic and interesting place to visit.
I love your little bird and I have one simular that I found in an antique shop in AZ. I later discovered that its head twists off and you can hide a little something inside.
