This takes me on a stroll to the heart of downtown Vacaville (right at Main & Merchant St.) where I got to check out "Rise And Redemption", a brick-and-mortar store that has been serving up premium men's and women's clothing since early-2021. This store had its share of challenges but opening in the midst of a worldwide pandemic was a gusty move that definitely paid off. I arrived here during the afternoon of Saturday 6/17/2023 at around 12:55pm as the very cool exterior more or less drew me in to see what this place was all about. After exploring the entire store and much to my surprise, I loved the style of these clothes! There is black walls throughout with cool artwork and even stylish cabintry displaying hats, handbags, scarves, and other various accessories. Here you will find a very generous selection of apparel as I was very impressed with the mens' part of the store. This place negotiates with several independent labels including "Dadbod Apparel", "Sullen Clothing Company", "Hold Fast", "Dixxon Flannel Company", and "Graveyard Apparel Company". They also have a partnership with "American Bonfire Company", a popular sunglass line. During my visit, I saw a very impressive selection of graphic tees, sweaters, outerwear, denim, and accessories. Much of the product line is that hip, trendy look that is quite fashionable. As I read the small amount of reviews on this place, many people complained of the customer service as well as the no-return policy. During my experience, the employees were very helpful and knowledgeable. Furthermore, I advise to try everything on prior to making your purchase as many smaller businesses won't accept returns due to a smaller overhead. With that said and done, I am giving "Rise and Redemption" a respectable four-star review.

But shower heads were $30-40 compared to $60 at the big home improvement store. Sometimes they have big appliances like fridges, washers, dryers. Big selection of clothing including shoes. They have some furniture as well. (Mattresses, couches, tables.) It's very clean and well organized. The store doesn't smell bad. It's a pleasant shopping experience. There's stuff brand new in the box. If I'm already in the area or nearby I would pop in to see what new inventory they have. I think as long as you think of it almost like a thrift store (no guarantee what you'll find that day although they have a little bit of everything and at what price) you'd be setting reasonable expectations for yourself.

They are an outlet for returns and damaged items, overstock, etc for big box stores like Costco, Sam's Club and Target, so you just have to know the prices of things or you need to search for the original prices on your phone. Generally, their food items are pretty good deals, but you need to check for items being expired or nearing expiration. Today the store was packed full of stuff and to my surprise, plenty of shoppers! They have a good amount of furniture and appliances today. Come check them out if you are looking for some deals on popular items you may be holding out for at the big box stores, you may be able to find it here.

Is it my timing? I thought I saw so many more purses that suited me on my last trip. But I prefer…read morepurses that are better suited for work and the holiday purses were out in force. I saw quite a few cute holiday purses and I liked them. That's kind of unusual since I hate bling. I don't like little tiny purses and I can't stand unitaskers. The best bags for me were the nylon totes. I spotted one that I liked but it was $500 and even with 70% off possibly with an additional 20% off I don't spend that kind of money on nylon bags. Gimme leather. So I moped out. Next time... Unless Dooney and Bourke hits me with a fab sale before Kate does. Customer service was positively indulgent. I explained I was window shopping for the holidays and from the number of pleased noises I was making they know it just a matter of time. You see savvy retail staff will spot the Kate Spade purse on your shoulder even if you're dressed like a clown. And that is the reason why you should carry a power purse I subscribe to the Kate Spade emails but have discovered that Kate Spade Outlet has their own emails. If you try to compare prices it gets confusing fast. Suffice to say, there isn't much overlap. It is perfectly possible the item you want is on sale but only at one of the three options. Or maybe at the store. There isn't one convenient to me. I recommend you create an online account for Kate Spade outlet. They have great tools to help you figure out the right size and color purse. They list inventory online or in store. And the prices are posted clearly. Great timesaver!

During my last visit, I found a very poncho on the sales floor with a price tag attached. When I brought it to the register, the cashier removed the tag and said it couldn't be sold because it had been priced incorrectly. I understand mistakes happen, and I wasn't asking to get it for the incorrect price. I simply asked if it could be repriced and held so I could come back and purchase it at the correct price. I was told no, and the response included laughter and a comment like, "Haha, yeah, probably not," which left me feeling embarrassed. My concern isn't the policy: it's how the interaction was handled!!! A little empathy would have made a disappointing situation much easier to accept. I hope management reviews how situations like this are communicated, because this has otherwise been a great neighborhood thrift store.

It's perfect if you are looking for a trend item that is budget friendly. It's also aesthetically pleasing to the eye for an outlet store. The demographic skews towards the younger college age crowd and older women trying to be. But the find for all ages is if you need a trend accessory of the season, this is the place to go. The prices are excellent and it might be your next find for that trip to Vegas or NOLA. I scored a crochet handbag (wished I got the pink beaded clutch bag), a hat, $5 4th of July t-shirt and a sports bra. Out of the items I wished I had thrown back was the sports bra because the straps were oversized (it would have worked better with a cross back). Total spend was $40. When I checked out, the cashier told me that they receive new items on Fridays/Saturdays. I went on a Friday so I did good. There's ample parking and it's in a business park. Definitely worth checking out!

I don't recall taking the train ride, but for only $5 it's a must do for kiddos these days. Cheaper than a trip to Disneyland. What I really recall is the giant gingerbread people they used to have in their bakery. My parents would never get me one, but every time I saw them the drool was on. They also had quick breads like zucchini bread and the such. I'm a sucker for zucchini breads and other quick breads. I went a few years back ready to get my ginger bread man and some quick bread and to my dismay they don't have any of that anymore. Being an adult now I was so ready to buy all those things my parents wouldn't buy me. Being an adult has those perks. Now the Nut Tree is a place made up of restaurants and some key stone stores such as Ultra and Old Navy. If you hunt around you can find Sees. I really wanted to go to Sees today, but we ran out of time to make the trek over there. We did have time to explore Kirkland. I've never been to a Kirkland before and it turned out to be a real fun store. They had a great deal on diffusers. 1/5 the price of the ones I saw in Fort Bragg. I found one that I LOVED the scent to in Fort Bragg, but couldn't rationalize spending the money on it. I almost got one of the cheaper ones at Kirkland, but resisted as I really didn't need to spend the money today. I need to save up for the Berry Festival in Woodland this weekend and I bought too much stuff in Fort Bragg this weekend. We did go to Fenton's and shared a cone of black cherry and loved every bite the last time we were at the Nut Tree. It's hard to resist a cone from Fenton's when you stop at the Nut Tree. They are located to the right of the big Nut Tree sign and next to the bathrooms that are on the Left. We walk by it all the time as we go to the bathroom for our potty stop. Just thinking about it I'm drooling. We also stopped buy Old Navy. They always have tons of cute tees for $10, which is a good deal in my book for new shits. They had a ton for cute skirts and dresses, but they weren't a style I'd wear so we walked out empty handed. That was our stop in the Nut Tree this time. It's always a solid rest break and potty stop on our way.
