Handmade items and vintage finds abound at Clover Market.

The 23rd Street Armory will be packed Jan. 24 and 25 with the carefully curated vendors of Clover Market. The indoor edition of this shopping destination brings the fun of spring's outdoor markets to a dreary winter weekend.

Over 60 vendors will be hawking their wares, including everything from vintage goods and antiques to handmade crafts, art and jewelry. Local businesses like Hoof & Antler, Shutters and Sand, Croí+Anam, INDICAN, and Art Star will all be in attendance.

If you get hungry while shopping, food trucks like The Cow and the Curd, Foolish Waffles, and Oink and Moo BBQ will be hanging out outside. Just be sure to get your hand stamped so you can reenter post-meal. Reanimator Coffee, Sweetbox and Weckerly's will be on the inside, too.

Clover Market will also be serving Bloody Mary's, mimosas, wine and craft beer on a balcony overlooking the main event, perfect for toasting all those great purchases.

Strategic shoppers will appreciate the VIP Tickets that get you in an hour early and the two-for-one ticket deal, both available online. The $5 general admission price won't go up at the door, but it is cash-only.
