I had a desperate need for a local gift for a friend and The Far Forest was my last hope. And if…read moreyou've spotted my five stars... spoiler alert... I found exactly what I needed and more. A coffee table book of artworks in Ybor City for my friend who loves the area. In great condition and reasonably priced. Awesome. And then I spotted two science fiction books for me that are going onto my shelves. I also bought a bookplate that was in a display at the counter. Eek, $15. But worth it to customize my gift which the very nice young lady put into a bag with some tissue paper to make "gift". Awesome service. Fabulous stuff and that's just the books. There's also all sorts of other vintage and unique antique items on sale. Definite opportunity for gifts and light decor. [Round number review 15800 overall - 1380 in Florida - 1304 of 2021.]

I've been into the shop a couple times; the first time was in their opening week. The owner (I'm…read morenot sure of her name) is so friendly and really loves her collection. This past Shop Small Saturday, I visited with 4 other people and her shop was (safely) bustling. I found a record for $1 outside and I did not have any cash - instead of having me use my card for a buck, she gave me the record for free. These types of small things make people come back and bring other people with them. This is a gem of a store (located just a couple blocks from where I used to live) in Seminole Heights. Check it out and spend some time finding some cool vintage treasures like books, records and furniture.

5 stars for this two-year-old, locally-owned Seffner business. In all my years of antiquing, this…read moreshoppe has the LOWEST PRICES I've ever encountered. (The vintage store next door shares that honor.) This may not be where you come to find higher end antiques, but there's definitely a great deal of vintage odds & ends here. There's even salvage. Hours are 11 AM to 5 PM-- FRIDAY THRU SUNDAY. Not only is there a small house filled w/ merchandise, but step outside under the carports to browse the large quantity of additional merchandise. What might you discover? Glassware, bakeware, & serving sets; toys & games; miscellaneous wall decor; furniture; lamps & lighting features; tools; clothing & shoes; costume jewelry; small appliances; vases; golf clubs; misc sporting goods; wood pens & cutting boards (both new); candles, homemade soaps, & rag dolls (all new), etc-- SEE ALL THE PICS Seriously LOW PRICES on everything, yet there were still many items discounted up to 50%. The female owner was very sweet & her Mexican hairless puppy was fascinating-- I couldn't resist snapping a picture:) Will we return when in the area again? Of course! My buddy was able to pick up a legitimate mid-century metal, butterfly wall sculpture for almost nothing. Although he's going to keep it for his home, now that it's been cleaned up & he's added three glass vintage votive candleholders, he could easily sell it & make a large profit on it. This vintage shoppe sits beside The Florida Farmhouse Market. DEFINITELY STOP IN should you enjoy anything vintage, along w/ savings! And do converse w/ the lovely owner. She was so gracious & appreciative of having her business added to Yelp.

The music is always good, the staff is always friendly, goes out of their way to take care of you. You can find you Nick items here that you cannot find anywhere else. Best to buy an early ticket. If you're looking for something special on their website to come in early Friday, but make sure you get here by 3:15 or 330. There's always a line waiting. They restock Saturday night, so early Sunday morning is good. If you're looking for anything unique, this is the place. Also a great coffee, shop next-door . It's a must do in St Pete

Beautiful pieces at reasonable prices…read more This is not a Goodwill, so don't expect the pieces to be cheap. What's funny is we were just at Goodwill so I saw a glass jar that was similar to one I found at Goodwill, it was $8 at Goodwill and $34 there. However, that was the only piece I found at Goodwill, whereas here there were so many beautiful pieces. You really can't compare the two, so I'll stop here, but I just wanted to make that clear. I've been into helping the environment recently, so I want to buy secondhand pieces when I can. We were looking for a vase. I ended up finding a gorgeous shell shaped vase. They actually had two, but one had a crack on one side, which is why it was discounted by $50. I decided to go for the non cracked one, which was $140. I think this is reasonable for the quality and it's a statement piece. I saw tons of other items that I loved. There was a standing desk for around $350 and a lot of benches and tables all in the couple of hundred dollar range. Again, not cheap, but definitely less expensive than they probably were when they were new. The guy working there was really nice and helpful. Parking was easy on both sides of the building. They pack this place full of such beautiful finds. I will definitely be back.

OH... HECK YEAH! La…read moreFrance in Ybor City is easily one of my most favorite shops in Tampa, period, and I do not say that lightly... The 2nd you walk in, you feel like you have entered a world where normal rules do not apply ....self expression is not just allowed, it is a demand.. There is absolutely no way you are leaving this store without something you adore because the selection is outrageous. Period gowns, corsets, dramatic top hats, Cuban shirts, feathers, faux diamonds, canes, statement jackets, wild accessories, and all the extra embellishments that make an outfit go from basic to unforgettable are packed into every corner. You almost have to take a full tour before committing to anything because your brain needs a minute to process how much fabulousness is happening all at once. What makes it even better is that you do not need a special occasion to justify being here. Yes, it is perfect for girls nights, boys nights, bachelor and bachelorette parties, themed events, and any moment that requires drama, but there are also pieces you can absolutely wear during the day if you are someone who refuses to blend into the background. You can find shirts and standout clothing that work beyond costume energy if you have the personality to match them. This shop succeeds where so many others have tried and failed because it does not feel cheap, thrown together, or gimmicky. It feels intentional, confident, and fully committed to its aesthetic. La France understands that fashion should be fun and expressive, not safe and forgettable. If you are in Tampa and you have not walked into La France, you are missing one of the most entertaining retail experiences in the city. Go see it for yourself, try things on, let yourself have a moment, and do not be surprised when you walk out smiling with something bold in your hands or wearing the outfit of your dreams!

Located next to the new location for A Modern Line on Florida Ave, this tiny shop has a great selection of vintage clothing and accessories for both men and women. The Owner definitely has an eye for knowing what vintage clothing would still look awesome today. In addition, the owner and her Mom have a whole 'upcycle' section, where they have taken used clothing and altered them in little ways to make them even cooler and more unique. I bought a jean vest that they put a new back panel and matching pocket trim on and I LOVE it! The store is also having events to encourage the community to stop by - this Saturday night they are having a block party with beer, wine, and hot dogs. Previously they had an evening nail art party. Stop by, check 'em out, and spread the word!

Sheliza had an entire rack curated just for me, filled with pieces that matched my style perfectly. It felt personal, thoughtful, and fun. The membership pricing is fair, and the heart behind the business shows. Danielle, the owner, recently offered to direct monthly membership fees toward helping a member and coworker cover medical expenses. Something you don't often see in a business. It's environmentally friendly, creative, and women-owned. What more could you ask for?

I never liked shopping because I was constantly comparing my body to the way I thought clothes were "supposed" to look on me; I was always overwhelmed and discouraged in big-brand stores, consignment shops, and small boutiques. It turns out I don't hate shopping - I just needed help from people who care about inclusivity and understanding. The clothes and jewelry are priced fairly and organized well. Being a member is worthwhile - I often pop in the day of an event I'm attending and walk out with a perfect outfit catered to my style and comfort. Valhalla is completely unique; fighting the good fight in opposition to fast fashion. I feel important and special here - I have saved money and energy by being a member.
