If you missed the opening of Sugar Rush<\/a> at FloridaRama earlier this month, you still have time to get your fix of felt candies.<\/p>\n

After debuting the candy shop at Art Miami Fair in December, Lucy Sparrow brought her sweets across the state for their second showcase at FloridaRama last month. Organizers told CL Tampa Bay that the sweet exhibit will run through May.<\/p>\n

The British artist first partnered with FloridaRama last year for a \u201cQuick Shop<\/a>,\u201d and has returned this year with the grocery-store style exhibit once again. Now, the installation includes her newest addition, a life-size candy shop with 18,000\u00a0 handmade fabric sweets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spanning 700 square feet, the Quick Shop installation brings whimsy to the grocery store experience with fully-stocked shelves filled with fruits, vegetables, canned goods, boxed foods, and more\u2014all handmade with felt. <\/p>\n

The Quick Shop includes more than 30,000 items available for purchase, including several items exclusive to FloridaRama.<\/p>\n
