Some little treasures that I found.
When I first started my blog, I said that I was going to write about great places to shop near where I live in California. Well, here is my first posting about such places.
Over the years, I have had the pleasure of discovering great shops to go and browse through for little treasures. Trust me, I have found many great places here in California, however this little gem of a shop, Remember When, is in my home town, Modesto.
Kari is the sweet shop owner of Remember When. She has been in business for three years and her former shop was located on Scenic Drive before moving to this location. Her shop is chock full...and I mean hold on tight to your purses chalk full..of fun treasures. You can find kitsch, vintage, cottage style collectibles, wonderful dishes and glassware, garden accessories, fountains, birdhouses, baskets, signs, furniture, mirrors, handmade candles and a whole bunch of other goodies.
She loves to decorate and has always wanted to own her own shop. Her favorite part of owning her own business is meeting new people and sparking up conversations. Remember When is known in the community for having reasonable prices. Even the dealers will frequent her shop to find that great deal. If you are down this way, stop by for a visit. She'll usually ask if you'd like a cup of coffee or a cookie!
Kari also rents out sections of her shop to those who would like to sell their items there.
Remember When is located at:
3012 McHenry Avenue, Suite C, Modesto, Ca. 95350
phone: (209) 872-8682
hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 10 AM - 6 PM

ReplyDeletehmmm. I wonder if my hubby would consider a drive to Modesto? It's only an hour plus a little from here.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't my husband take me to places like this when I went out to CA with him on one of his business trips???? I had a great time 'virtual shopping' at this store. I'm on the look-out for a frame like the one out front. The miniature wicker couch is so cute. On the white shelves above the apple plates, it looks like a cute kitty/doggy face ceramic something? I like all the goodies you chose!
ReplyDeleteLallee...that doggy face is a tea pot. Isn't it cute!? There are always new things coming in and makes the shop so much fun to go to!
ReplyDeleteWow, looks like a great place to shop...it's too bad it's so far away from me!
