I love the obsidian wind chimes too - so unique! I've always been interested in crystals, rocks and minerals. This shop has quite a selection of meteorites and the owner is quite knowledgeable about her stuff. If you have questions about the properties, she also has a book which describes which stone has certain attributes. Great selection of moldavite - the green, glassy substance formed roughly 15 million years ago, give or take when a meteorite (or some fiery thing from space) hit the earth and formed these beautiful gems. She also has a jeweler that makes custom moldavite rings! I was very tempted by a beautiful ring that had two moldavite stones surrounding a Siberian amethyst. Located on the corner, the store has lots of light and character and the owner is a lovely person who is passionate about her stuff!

This shop is adorable!

Not to mention, I found two more fun magnets for my travel collection. There's nothing to say this store is one of a kind, but I do appreciate that it's a small local business. I only saw a store associate at checkout, and she was pretty friendly. The prices were also reasonable, so I left feeling satisfied overall with my visit.

After just purchasing some items from the store, my daughter wanted to look at the Mickey and Minnie Christmas houses. I am pregnant and currently can't hold my daughter for long periods of time- she carefully was looking at the houses but got excited and her finger bumped a shelf while trying to show me something. An item fell off the shelf and broke. My daughter immediately started crying because she was being so careful and felt bad it broke. While I was trying to reassure her, a sales gal came over and started telling me that she broke part of a set and was very frustrated. I offered to pay for the piece but she continued to be incredibly rude, all while my daughter was crying because it was an accident. I understand pieces in the store can be pricey, but after offering to pay for the broken item, I would've expected a significant change in attitude. This is a store with great items, but I won't be shopping there again.

This is the kind of store where everything feels a little magical--like, "Oh no... I need this immediately." The whole place smells amazing the second you walk in, which should honestly be considered part of the seduction strategy. It's warm, inviting, gorgeous, and full of the kind of pieces that make you feel like a more fabulous version of yourself the minute you touch them. The help was wonderful--friendly, fun, and easy in that perfect way that makes shopping feel like an adventure instead of a chore. There was laughter, there was humor, there was spontaneous female bonding with other customers over shared admiration of soft things and good taste... basically, the vibes were immaculate. If you love clothes that feel special, a store that smells like heaven, and the kind of shopping experience that turns strangers into co-conspirators, Yuba Blue is absolutely your place.

There are some of the best hand made items here! They have a bunch of handmade soups, that, I can vouch for, are absolutely wonderful! They last so long, and smell so wonderful. Even sitting there, they made my bathroom smell so pretty! It was close to Halloween, so they had some super cute Halloween decorations up, im sure they do that sort of thing for all holidays. I had purchased quite a few different things. I saw that they had some boot cuffs, that were adorable, and pretty cheap! So I got those, and pretty much have been wearing them every weekend since its been so cold! I got some cute little gifts and cards for a baby shower I was going to; verdict: the mom LOVED them! They have a lot of sure little Mr. + Mrs. stuff for Newlyweds! They have a lot of stuff for baby decoration (NOT for the kids to play with! ), they have cards and signs, trays, handmade boxes, and all sorts of cute things! We probably spend an hour in this cute little store, just looking and adding to our basket! I can't wait until I'm back in town to check this store out again! If you're in the area, and you like boutiques, then check this one out, you wont be sorry!

Gold Mountain is a specialty store and gift shop with something for everyone. The store front is pretty spectacular and you can tell the owner put a lot of thought and love into the setup. My husband and I picked up some home decor items that were made in Japan, including a well-crafted food tray with a rabbit theme that perfectly goes with our living room decor. I picked up some stuffed animals for our niece and nephew, as well as a unique tea set for my aunt. There are plenty of other interesting things that caught our attention, including a friendly cat that wanders about the store and never goes out the door. Prices are very reasonable, so do yourself and the community a favor by coming in and shopping small :)
