Wait until fall, then go to all the art shows. You'll find some great original art.

I have to tell you about my experience with Kirklands. I never even heard of this store until last week.

I went online and saw two large pictures that I liked for my dining room. I was thrilled when I saw they had both of them at Lady Lake. I went to the store and purchased the two pictures and asked if I could come back later in the day to get them -- not a problem. (Mom's walker was in the van and I didn't have room for the pictures.). The manager had a sheepish look on her face when I went back a couple of hours later. She fell in their stockroom and broke one of my pictures and several other items! So, they credited my account and I had to go home and order a new picture online! I hope it comes in soon as my time is limited! She said she got a cut from the broken glass but, thankfully nothing serious.

I also got two small pictures in beautiful frames at the Markets of Marion. I got them for 1/2 price as they are having a sale right now!

I'm still looking for more pictures! Any and all ideas are appreciated!

A friend found the piece she wanted - went to the Lady Lake store and ordered it shipped to the store - it arrived in less than a week and could be inspected right there to make sure it was okay to purchase - paid for it and took it home!

I may have some photos from around The Villages you could enlarge if you don't mind framing them. Good luck.

What a fantastic idea. I used a similar store and did my Man Cave in Godfather and other movie themes. Allposters is an unbelievable resource to freshen up the look when we arrive and less for me to carefully pack here. Thank You Villager Joyce. This is the simple part. Beautiful homemade frames really do the trick.

I have seen such a room. In a home of a frequent poster here. It has Frank Sinatra too. That poster has great taste.

I saw a couple at Kirlands but they didn't fit my decor. I actually need several pictures/wall hangings but I'd really be happy if I found something for the dining room on this trip!

Does anyone have any idea where I might look for larger pictures?

If you can wait--and I'd stongly recommend that you do--you will find some terrific art produced by members of several Villages clubs available at various art fairs held throughut the year. The Villages Photography Club, TV Art League and TV Art Association have extremely talented artists who sell their work, almost certainly more reasonably than at local retailers.

Try Bargains and Treasures on 466 and 301 behind AutoZone, next to railroad tracks. The pictures already come framed. I've found some great artwork there.
