You will not find master works for thousands of dollars here, but a good selection of oils, water colors, ceramics and other eclectic stuff to choose a great memory of Murphys and/or the Mother Lode scene. Probably the biggest sellers are the note cards, all custom made, and the jewelry. But if you want to painting for you wall at home, you can find that here too.

IMHO This is the…read morecoolest store! Rustic! Whimsical! Eye-popping merchandise and decor to delight the senses! I wish I had walked out with something from this cute shop, and I definitely had my eyes on the adorable leather door sleigh bells. I just couldn't decide which leather design to choose, and nowadays when I shop, I need to have a specific place or function to put it, before buying. I told myself I'd go back after I finished walking through the rest of charming Groveland's shops. Unfortunately, I couldn't justify the purchase. However, should I ever return to Groveland, Ranch Revived would be my first stop!

I stopped into Clint's Trophy Mart this past week…read more They just received a wealth of new used records - so if you're looking for a mellow afternoon browsing old record art - it's worth stopping in here. They have some great ones! In fact some of our favorite records as of late - we've picked up here. Clint's Trophy Mart is a bit of a maze to explore, but if you have the time - it's worth taking it - to check out their old magazines, antiques, vintage army jackets, quirky shirts, jewelry etc. The owner gets many of the items from estate sales. My favorite aspect of Clint's Trophy Mart - is that it's been around for 40 yrs - and 20 yrs in this specific location. I always appreciate true local spots where you never know what you're going to find - and Clint's is definitely that kind of spot. Trust.

She was really unhelpful, didn't know prices on several items, was rude about some threadbare aprons. Absolutely no haggling on prices. I mentioned I was taking my service dog to Costa Rica.

Customer service was less than what I would expect anywhere. Ick.
