Miscellaneous is a neighborhood shop located in Ivanhoe Village that started when a sister duo saw the lack of local stores selling curated gifts and products.

From coffee mugs to stationary, sisters Dede and Landrea Cowart said they wanted to start a business that fills a void in the Central Florida retail market. Miscellaneous is located on North Orange Ave. in Orlando (Dede and Landrea Cowart)She said growing up, they watched their mom grow her business, RW Events, which inspired them to start their own. Tamuel Cowart, who owns RW Events, said it has been a joy to watch her daughters create their own business. Dede and Landrea Cowart have always been close and opening up a business together has been a dream of theirs. We’re big on gifting as a family, so in a way, we’re giving Central Florida a bit of us,” Dede Cowart said.
