“What an incredibly beautiful shop! The owner Larry was very helpful and even fixed our little clock. His knowledge and friendly smile were refreshing. The clocks are breathtaking! This is a must see and experience place to check out when in Sarasota!”
“Always friendly and helpful staff and an amazing array of old treasures. My main issue is losing track of time when wandering through. What they have are items rich in character which seems somehow lacking today. I highly recommend Sarasota Architectural Salvage.”

2115 Siesta Dr, Sarasota“Jamie custom painted a dresser of mine and she did an amazing job, it’s absolutely beautiful! This store is so cute too with great prices! Definitely recommend this place!!”
“This was an amazing store with genuinely unique items. I was very surprised by how big the store was too. The owner (assuming) was incredibly kind and quick to help, all without being an overbearing sales person. The prices are more than reasonable too for how vintage and one of a kind they are. I will be back for sure!”
“It was great to work with Mosby Rugs -- they were accommodating to our needs and the shipping was very quick (at a reasonable cost). Great selection of classic antique rugs!”
“First of all, I want to thank the staff, especially April, Kim and Sherry. They promptly answered all my texts and calls. I purchased a variety of things from BB's booth. My items arrived quickly and packed very carefully. Although my cake plate was broken, the store made attempts to provide me with another one. In the name of charity, I decided I'd be ok. With that being said, Renee Baio took upon herself to surprise me with another one. I was overjoyed with her kindness. I would have never known about this wonderful store without the Baios live feed. I'm now completely obsessed with Scavengers Marketplace. There are so many wonderful vendors with a variety of treasures. I look forward to seeing what's to come. Thank y'all so much.”
“Best place to purchase a firearm. Steph Is super easy to work with and always gives me the best deals. If you are looking to purchase a firearm make this your first stop !”
“Bobby did a fantastic job on what was a complicated ask. He was able to level out a custom wood root table base for us so that there was no wobbling or tilting. The table is fully functional now and there is no sign of any work that was done to the table. He and his team are extremely diligent, communicative, and professional. Would highly recommend them.”

2333 Whitfield Park Loop, Sarasota“I read a few reviews and disagree with some of the customers. I agree with the owners restrictions that children should not be allowed in the warehouse while their adults are shopping. That is a Hugh liability for the owners. What if your child pulls on an item and it falls on your child? Bet you will file a lawsuit if your child gets injured. Parents should be equally concerned and avoid unnecessary injuries to their children and others. The owners make it very comfortable for the children to sit right outside the door with choice of soda, water and goodies.Please don't say the owners should child protect every item in there warehouse (leave your children outside).I have been shopping Decor Direct for 15 years and noticed children sitting in the gazebo drinking soda/water and on their devices looking very happy including my family.”
“I love supporting Family owned and operated businesses. The service is amazing, and the owners' knowledge of watches is a big help. Both him and his daughter have their dogs at work which is awesome ?.”
“Love this place. Great mid century furniture and other items. Very well laid out and curated. Have bought furniture here before. Today wife got some jewelry. Lady working there was super helpful. Highly recommended!”

2081 12th St, Sarasota“I am officially obsessed with this store! Canned Ham Vintage has it all for a great shopping experience. Amazing selection, reasonable prices, organized merchandise and friendly staff. I found so many pieces I will love for years to come. Ashley was particularly helpful to me with the dressing room when the shop was busy and offered great advice on my selections. Love love love the Jimmy Choo heels! Thank you. I will shop here again soon!”

1005 East Ave, Sarasota“Braden River Antiques is amazing and deserves 5 stars. The inside is a feast for the senses, I could spend days wandering through the collection of unique and magical treasures. The owner was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We walked away with a decorative garden sculpture of a stout viking king, still trying to decide on where to put him. Anyone who gives anything less than 5 stars to Braden River Antiques just doesn’t understand or appreciate what they have to offer. We will most definitely be back again and again.”

1470 Fruitville Rd, Sarasota“This is an awesome store run by two super nice guys! The last time I stopped in, I found a lot of great things and spent several hundred dollars. All antique stores should be like this one. It's really clean and well organized, reasonable prices and honest owners. I did have to LOL when I read the review by Tanita75. When did it become a requirement that stores need to supply you with a restroom? Another self-entitled person in the world it seems. Maybe this poor girl needs to go before she... goes! Honestly though, this store is an absolute gem. I can't wait to return!”
“I want to tell you about the auction I attended at Sarasota Trading this morning and afternoon. Beautiful Glass, china, paintings, and most of all wonderful presentation. Thanks Andrew Ford for the classy auctioneer skills. I also have dealt with Sarasota Trading in selling my mom's custom and costume jewelry and pieces of art I inherited but were not going to fit into a baby boomer's life. Mine. We have been friends for 14 years. He is a valuable, trustworthy resource as is his wife Lathrop and their helpful staff.”

1526 Fruitville Rd, Sarasota“Great shop for classic eclectic vintage dresses and accessories. The owner knows fashion and worked in the fashion industry in New City. We found the perfect ensemble for an international fashion show.”
“Absolutely magical shop! The owners have a knack for buying great pieces. A visit here feels like an experience. So fun to wander around the different rooms and peruse the home decor. The clothes are gorgeous, ranging from moderate to pricy. Such a hidden gem! Must go! (Especially if you love the French romantic aesthetic)”

“Petra and the Tiger Lily Team absolutely saved our wedding. After our decoration vendor left us high and dry, Petra and her team stepped in and went above and beyond. They brought my vision to life in the most stunning way, even hanging our fabric arch in the oak tree you see in the photo. Petra didn’t just create breathtaking floral designs—she took personal items and transformed them into beautiful centerpieces, making our day uniquely ours. The team’s creativity and attention to detail were truly unmatched, and their prices were incredibly reasonable. Every penny spent was worth it. I can’t say enough about how magical Petra and her team made our wedding day.”
