When you wander through Aurora’s charming streets, be sure to make your way to the south side, where a world of wonder awaits. Among the many delightful businesses there, you’ll discover a new hidden gem: Wood & Rose Vintage Market. This enchanting shop is curated by owner Lynette Jones, who has transformed her passion for vintage treasures into a captivating market experience you’ll never forget.

Wood & Rose Vintage Market was born after a lifetime of Lynette’s work experience in retail, restaurants, catering and merchandising, where she specialized in graphic design, marketing, decorating and excellent customer service. Her keen eye for bargains and flair for creating inviting environments inspired her to open her shop. “I found so many good deals while shopping for my clients that I kept collecting, knowing I wanted to open a shop someday,” she recalls. The name “Wood & Rose” perfectly encapsulates the essence of the market, elegant yet rustic and embodying her love for reclaimed wood and beautiful textures.

That love for vintage items started early, thanks to her mother, who, through financial necessity, took her to garage sales and thrift shops. These childhood experiences instilled a passion for finding hidden gems, and she developed an eye for the quality and value that has become her hallmark. The journey to opening Wood & Rose Vintage Market was challenging. Initially selling at flea markets, Lynette quickly realized the limitations of packing and unpacking her treasures. A temporary space in Portland provided some storage but wasn’t sustainable. When she lost her full-time job, the Oregon Self-Employment Program offered a lifeline, allowing her to further her education and explore the estate sale side of the business. Finding the perfect location in Aurora was the final piece of the puzzle, and her shop now stands as a testament to her perseverance and creativity.

Stepping into Wood & Rose Vintage Market is like entering a treasure hunter’s paradise. The 700-square-foot space is cleverly designed, with every nook and cranny filled with intriguing finds. From floor to ceiling, each room beckons visitors to explore and discover unique items. The addition of outdoor spaces under canopies has expanded the market’s offerings, creating an inviting atmosphere for all who visit. The shop features an eclectic mix of boutique items, project pieces, estate sale treasures and unique consignment pieces.
