Rustic Rose Mercantile - used to be called "Rustic Roses." When it was called Rustic Roses it had…read moredifferent ownership. When the new owners took over in November of 2022, they renamed the store Rustic Rose Mercantile. From my understanding, I believe that the new owners kept much of the same vibe/ambiance as Rustic Roses, but they have added even more local artists and color to the store's whimsical displays. I stopped in here recently.The gentleman behind the counter was friendly and welcoming. He was helpful whenever I had questions about their inventory. I didn't have much time to browse, due to time constraints, but I did spy a plethora of fun finds during my brief visit. I ended up purchasing a 'soft edged arrowhead shaped piece of what I believe is jade strung on a cord' necklace. The gentleman behind the counter (who I believe may be one of the owners) explained that a local family makes the necklaces and that they bring them by the store to be sold. Many of Rustic Rose Mercantile's showcased jewelry artists are local. Jill King is one my favorite local jewelry artists - and she has a stunning turquoise necklace being sold here - along with her other well crafted jewelry pieces. In addition to a plethora of local and vintage jewelry items, Rustic Rose Mercantile has decor items, clothing, candles, antiques, crafts and much more. Everywhere you look inside this spacious spot - you'll find something new. They even rent out a decent sized portion of their store to a local comic book seller/collector. My new jade necklace rests on me as I type this. I love the way that the coldness of the stone warms against me. Locally made warmth. Trust.

We were thrilled to pop into Heel to Toe Boutique not only for the exquisite clothing they feature, but, the outstanding customer service provided by Debra. She is such an exceptional, kind, caring & knowledgeable member of the boutique and with all heart!! My friends & I left the store with beautiful UGG slippers and with the feeling as though we gained a new friend in Debra. It is because of her superior customer service that we will definitely be visiting the town/store again.

I really love this store and stop here every time I'm in Sonora! They have a really lovely…read moreselection of casual to dressy clothing, shoes, purses and accessories. They carry David Kahn jeans, Sweet Pea tops & dresses to name a couple. Everything is neatly displayed on racks, tables or cases. The clothing hanging is always ironed & free of wrinkles! You're always warmly greeted when you enter, are left to browse at your leisure and graciously helped when needed. Often, Nikki, the owner is there and is very friendly and helpful in putting outfits together and giving opinions while you're trying on clothing. I love that they offer manicures & pedicures and would love to have one next time I'm in the area (I'll update if I do). It's best to make an appointment, but if they have time, they'll accept walk-ins. They have 2 plush pedicure chairs. There is also an aesthetician who does facials & waxing by appointment.

I can't say enough great things about Sonora Jewelry! If you're looking for a place that truly…read morevalues honesty and fairness, this is it. Louis and Natalie are incredibly genuine people who make the entire process comfortable and stress-free. When I brought in my gold and silver, they took the time to explain everything clearly--how items are evaluated, current market values, and exactly how they determine pricing. There was no pressure, no confusion--just transparency and respect. What really stood out was how fair their offer was. It's obvious they care about treating customers right, not just making a quick profit. That kind of integrity is rare these days. If you're thinking about selling jewelry, gold, or silver, I highly recommend Sonora Jewelry. Louis and Natalie have built a business you can truly trust, and I wouldn't go anywhere else!

A pair of boots was ordered over a year ago and every time I have called to check on order I get the run around, the owner isn't in, I can't help you. It's BS!! First, why does it take a year to get a pair of boots?! Second, if you can't get the boots then give me back my deposit!!! Why is it so hard to be decent?! Return a phone call, honor your word and be a decent human! That is not to hard I don't think! The next step is to call the BBB and report you! Do not shop here! They will take your money with no intention of keeping their word on ordering for you.

Back then, it was like a taste of Anthropologie in our little town and I shopped here religiously. Now? Well, the other reviews about the owners are 100% correct.

An absolute must-visit on Washington Street in Sonora!…read more The Local Collective is exactly what its name represents: a place rooted in genuine care for people, families, and the local community. What stands out immediately is how kind and welcoming the owners are. This is truly a family-run shop, and you can feel the intention behind everything they do. They aren't just stocking shelves, they are thoughtfully sourcing items they would confidently choose for their own family and children. That level of care is rare. We bought a hoodie, hat, and t-shirt for my daughter's birthday, and she has been wearing them every single day since. The quality is incredible! I mean really. These are not cheaply made pieces. You can feel the difference right away in the fabric, the fit, and the durability. What makes this place even more special is the heart behind it. It's not just about business. It is about people. They genuinely care about the families who walk through their doors and he went out of his way to offer products that reflect that. They do not jack up the prices but the quality is better than an REI or Sax 5th Avenue. I know good quality and these items are made very well. We also purchased a tumbler for my children, bird house, two stuffed animals, and a few other little things and the quality and make are consistent throughout the store no matter what it is. Having seven children we know good quality items. Unfortunately, it is not an unfamiliar experience to see things break after purchasing. Not here! If you're looking for meaningful, high-quality items and want to support a family that truly puts other families first, this is a place you'll want to keep coming back to and buying from again and again.

It's so welcoming, the music's always on point, and the staff is very friendly. 10/10 my favorite shop in downtown Sonora.
