Christmas display at Peddler's Wagon - Eustis, Florida

I have to admit I have never seen such a Christmas display...it was brilliant and elegant and incredibly
colorful!

Peddler's Wagon - Eustis, Florida

This is an incredibly beautiful store. It seems that the town of Eustis carries on its Christmas celebration well into the New Year. Peddler's Wagon is an extraordinary gift shop and had some of the most gorgeous Christmas decorations we have ever seen, as you shall see in tomorrow's post.

The day we were there, an attractive young lady went through the store offering customers a cool, refreshing drink from a tray she carried in her hands! Hard to beat that kind of welcome!

KneeHi - the smallest donkey in the world!

This mini-donkey is named KneeHi. KneeHi is the smallest donkey in the world and he lives at the Best Friends Farm just north of Gainesville, Florida. The very fine folks at Best Friends Farm raise mini-donkeys which, it turns out, are very gentle and loving creatures.

Please read more about KneeHi and check out Best Friends Farm here.

Olivia's Coffeehouse & Bistro - Eustis, Florida

A couple of years ago, while visiting the small town of Eustis which is located northwest of Orlando, we stumbled onto a wonderful small cafe in the downtown area.  It was Olivia's Coffeehouse & Bistro.  Olivia wasn't on duty at the time, but we were made to feel welcome and enjoyed some excellent food and drink.  We also posted a few photos of the cafe.

Last week, we visited Eustis again and this time headed directly to Olivia's.  The place was jammed.  Best of all, Olivia was present and greeted us warmly and consented to having her photo taken. 

If you are ever in Eustis, please stop by Olivia's.  We can guarantee you will not be disappointed.  Perhaps you'll also enjoy the "music & more" that Olivia's advertises.
