Kingsley is a real treasure! As many have said: I always feel like I'm visiting an old friend when…read moreI stop by his shop. I adore his passion, knowledge, and his stories! He's always patient, happy to answer questions, and never ever pressures anyone to buy anything. It actually feels like you're visiting a collector's den or small museum where most things just happen to be for sale. I've learned a lot about textiles, woven blankets, and handmade quilts from Kingsley and am thankful for the time he took to get his newly acquired "baby" out of the back to show me. We both have a fascination with learning how things are made and we're dazzled by the work on this one. Speaking of "how things are made": he knows a guy named Cort that fixes and cleans old pocket and wrist watches. I bought an antique pocket watch from him a few years ago at a great price and it keeps time perfectly. I had also requested/mentioned I was looking for a specific vintage watch and he found one! Once again: great price. There have been slight issues with watch repair only because of the pandemic making many parts hard to find. I heard that the main source to get things may be or has already closed for good. It's rare to find people and items like the ones you'll find in this shop. Stop by and you'll find something interesting and beautiful, and most likely learn something new!

This place is so amazing! So many well curated treasures and the owner is a gem. Even after I…read morepurchased some trinkets, he chatted with my husband and I for a few minutes. So personable and knew everything about every piece in his store. Can't wait till I'm back in the neighborhood to pop in again!

I finally got over to stuff vintage modern on San Pablo…read more Definitely an unusual find in these days. It's organized by vendor. Each vendor has their own little space to display their items. Everything in the store is vintage, collectible, hard to find, and everything is fantastic! I went in there because I am decorating my bathroom in a vintage owl theme and I found three things that I can put on the wall and they turned out to be perfect in my space. Definitely come here if you have something in mind that you're looking for, they just might have it

My favorite vintage store in the area! It had so many items…read more I was here for an hour & a half. It was filled with items I have in my home and items I want in my home. This store has a huge selection of everything you ever wanted. So many clothes, so much jewelry, a plethora of housewares & furniture, lots of vinyl, artwork, etc. The prices varied; there were definitely bargains but also high end items. The gentleman that was working there was friendly and helpful. The music was a delightful accompaniment. They have a private parking lot.

It's minimal so that they won't destroy the original design and the characters. Kobe was very helpful finding the right height chairs for me. Not just the balance of table and chairs but also how I sit on it and how my feet land on the floor. It came out beyond from my original budget but I still think it was a great deal once I understood the delicacies of their craftsmanship. Highly recommended for those who cares what you use in daily life! I'm so grateful for the pieces I purchased!

Quality/Quantity - 40 to 50+ vendors, think COOP. See…read morepictures. Sorry, I could have done a better job with taking pictures. Atmosphere - I forget how big this place was. Security and bag check as you enter. She even laughed at my joke that my wife could fit a couch in my wife's purse, lol. Even when it was Bed, Bath and Beyond, the size always surprised me. Bathrooms I believe are in the very back of the building but I did not check or use them. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 7pm. Usually plenty of street parking, 2-4 hours free. But not today; it was crazy busy. We noticed a farmers market a block away...??? Paid parking garages are also available. Service - Friendly door greeter. Again, she even laughed at my joke, lol. Price - Depends on what you buy. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2016.

Found some great items here today. Namely, Abraham, Palatnik, mother, and baby giraffes in Lucite…read more I added them to my collection and I am so excited to now have them.

Fantastic local business on Solano Ave. Owners (husband and wife) are extremely helpful and kind…read more It's a relatively small store, but you do feel like you're in a museum... with items you can take home! Their collection is extensive. Many old maps of various parts of the world, old stamps, original manuscripts (dating back to the 1750s, at least!), coins, photos, and much more. I ended up walking out with a small anatomy book from the early 1900s. I would recommend a visit to this store if you're around! They are only open a few days a week - so be sure to check ahead to see if they'll be open.

Small awesome collection laid out like you're in a living room being told some great stories…read more Significant collection of maps from the 1700s and 1800s, especially of France and Europe. Other countries also are there, as well as postcards, coins, bottles, and a few books. The maps are in awesome condition and reasonably priced.

Jeff Farnsworth has been eyeing the unusual, irresistible and irreplaceable vintage objects, sly, sleek furniture, unique steampunk stuff, Mid-Century artifacts and Post-Modern objets almost as long as I've been addicted to them. He has an enormous knowledge-base, flawless, architectural-curation level taste, a fantastic display sense and extraordinarily reasonable pricing. Whenever I glance at something in my home environment that consistently makes me grateful I acquired it, nine out of ten times it's a treasure apple I nabbed from Jeff's esthetic Eden, secured by sheer luck at walking in before another vintage sinner scored.
