Massive vintage market is the next big thing in Ybor City

Ybor City is one of our favorite spots to spend a weekend — and it’s only gotten better courtesy of a new recurring weekend-long shopping event. The Vintage Roost is a 5,000 square foot market featuring about 18 vendors offering items imbued with their own distinctive vintage flair. This DIY-inspired concept is sets up shop in the heart of the city.

We’re always here for more ways to shop local and support Tampa makers and entrepreneurs. So, we’re kind of blown away by the opportunity the Vintage Roost presents to residents, especially as the holidays approach.

Boho vibin’ in the heart of Ybor City

Her love for architectural salvage brings a unique flair to her booth at Vintage Roost, a new vintage market that recently opened in Ybor.

A boho vibin’, mid century modern farmhouse is the best way to describe this vendor’s style. Dovetails Decor’s treasures have an organic, simple feel, but sprinkle in Hollywood regency with brass and gold. They also hand craft oversized clocks that are between 3 and 5 feet wide. The clocks are made of reclaimed materials and can be custom ordered for your styling taste. Follow Van Vaerenbergh on Instagram: @DovetailsDecor
