A good antique shop is defined by a good picker and the owner is just that. Plus there's a large selection. We were hunting for art and found more than we expected.

We were in the area and found the Goodwill in Grass Valley. I wish our local (Modesto) Goodwill had…read morethe clothing (and other items) selection this Goodwill has! They had some really nice brand name clothing items for decent prices. The customer service was wonderful! The employees were very friendly and easy to chat with. The manager went above and beyond by bringing me a shopping cart when she saw my arms full of the clothing I was finding and sorting through! One small disappointment to me was that the identity protection roller stamp I bought was not pre-filled with ink. I would have preferred if it was. I think it will come in handy, but to be honest I have not used it yet, because it wasn't filled with any ink (it comes in the box so the customer can fill it up). All in all: If you are in the area, or live close by, give it a try! You will find some nice items for sale. I posted a few photos of items they had.

The ladies who were working there were so sweet and kind too. I took about 15 minutes trying on the wigs they had and the ladies were hyping me up the whole time! And honestly the prices were really decent on top of them ringing up my items cheaper than was on the sticker.

Two years ago I needed a small 4 or 5 drawer dresser, nothing fancy, to be used in my home workshop, for various tools, etc. I walked in and within 2 minutes found the very thing I was looking for, and for a price that was quite reasonable. After two years, I decided that the workshop needed a wider look, with more space for everything, and that the tools and other items I kept in the drawers, needed to be seen so I didn't have to hunt for something. So, I removed the things in the drawer, put the small dresser in my car, and took it back to Sweet Life Thrift. Carolyn Maginot is the owner, and was most gracious to accept the dresser to resell. The shop is small but has lots of rooms of men and womens' clothes, nicknacks, hats, and more, that would tickle anyone's fancy (small furniture pieces, jewelry, antiques, etc.. The parking lot is just up the corner on the right from East Main street and Hughes Rd. She has a sign up every day it is open. If you are curious if she has what you might be looking for, the shop phone number is 530-802-5288. Supporting our small businesses and meeting the owners is good for Grass Valley. The prices at Sweet Life are as competitive and even cheaper than GoodWill. Give it a try and I don't think you will be disappointed.

I was made to feel like a criminal by the manager during today's visit. After purchasing my item,…read morethis older Caucasian woman dressed in a blue top (who I was later told was the manager) approached me in the parking lot and curtly demanded to see my receipt. I produced it and she compared the price on my item with the receipt, presumably to ensure I bought it (and didn't steal it or swapped tags with another item?). Then she handed it back to me without a word and started to walk back into the store. Nothing along the lines of "thank you, have a nice day" or any courtesy for patronizing their business. As she entered the door to the Restore, she swung back around and snapped at me about my car being parked in the handicap spot if I'm not disabled. I personally am not, but my mother-in-law is, and my mother-in-law was still checking out her items, and we had the disabled placard hung up in the car. Again, not a single word after this. She did tell me my trunk wasn't closed fully though, so I appreciated that. I guess she had to have the last word? I was made to feel like a criminal. I went to the counter where my mother-in-law was checking out and told her how the manager just rudely spoke to and treated me. The staff at the counter apologized and I replied it's not their fault. It's obvious to me the manager hates her job, so for the sake of ensuring continued business by well-meaning customers, she should either show some respect or let someone who can smile take her job.

One star for Julie's attitude. 5 starts for the LOADING crew!…read more Who knew that at a store such a the habitat restore you have to make sure to use perfect vocabulary with their highly educated staff. Julie was so incredibly UNHELPFUL when I came in today to pick up my items we purchased on Tuesday. She can't seem to find the correlation between the words pickup and loading and was so condescending when I had to spell out for her I was here to pick up my items. When she finally was able to compute that, everything went fairly smoothly until some moron blocked the parking lot with their trailer and then she came out and asked me if I was carrying my furniture I bought to my car...lol I would pay someone to do that for me Julie, if that was the case. Regardless of my awful experience with her, and her disgusting attitude, we got our items we paid for and are happy. Hopefully Julie sees happier days soon.
