Antiques near San Marcos, CA

“I had so much fun vintage shopping here. The staff were very friendly and informative. The furniture, paintings and home decor were one of a kind. I definitely recommend!!”

“The Brick n Barn formally known as the old “Betty Crocker” home located in Valley Center CA is a must to visit. Only open one weekend a month, it makes for a great day visit. Stroll among the beautiful gardens or through the barn filled with antiques. Stop by one of the many local vendors or sit and relax with a cold drink or even stay and have lunch from one of their food vendors, you won’t be disappointed. This hidden little gem is a must. Google them for dates and times and even special events.”

Every visit and communication was met with warmth, authenticity and very professional transactions.Dena Evans the owner of Willow Tree Consignment has created a beautiful home decor space with great warmth and style. All throughout Willow Tree there exists a lovely sense of organized calm. Home decor Items from ceiling to floor are delightfully combined with great taste, quiet intrigue and spotless surfaces in every corner and beyond.I highly recommend this shop for both home decor shopping and consignment transactions.

“Grab Bag is just a fun place to walk through! Great prices and friendly staff. It's not a big place, so it isn't overwhelming but it has a lot of really neat stuff, a "grab bag" if you will, of different things to go through from antique to vintage to homemade. I always find a little something for a birthday or to add to a birthday gift. It's great for teacher's gifts and stocking stuffers at the holidays too. It's my favorite antique shop in Esco and now has regular hours. It's worth a trip out to see what they have in their different booths. And even though it's neat and cute and stylish...it's never snooty or too kitschy. I really like it.”

“This was truly the best shopping experience I have ever had! From my first call to order an amazing terra cotta pot from Impruneta Italy Jacopo was amazing. He called Italy immediately to get my order in with his regular summer order. I knew these were custom made and expected a long wait. But what I didn't expect was the wonderful, regular updates I received including when it was loaded on a ship, when the ship arrived in Long Beach and when his order of pots arrived including mine with a photo! It was packed extremely well as it is 90lbs. I couldn't be happier. Jacopo even messaged me when UPS delivered it to make sure I got it. No matter what your interest, this shop is exceptional. And, if you want to learn more about "the best clay in the world" check out their Impruneta terra cotta vessels and planters!”

“An Absolutely amazing store!!! Phil is the absolute best! He not only makes you feel invited but is also extremely passionate about all of his product quality and where they come from. He happily answers any questions and shares amazing information. Stopping in their store is not only such a joy but I always find my new favorite Crystal/stone! EVERYONE I've talked to there is very knowledgeable and friendly. I've gotten so many beautiful pieces I could post pictures all day but here's a couple recent ones.”

“I always find something here. It’s a combination of vintage and new. However, last time we were in, we noticed they were selling items from Hobby lobby and marking them up and the dollar tree store. Someone even forgot to take the price tag off the bottom of the pot from Hobby lobby. Also, a 3% surcharge is being applied to each item and then taxed.”

“I can't say enough praises for Howard's Refinishing and Upholster. We had some cane chairs from my family. They were a pain. I asked Howard's if they could upholster them. They said sure, pick out some fabric. They were very patient with us as our whole family got involved in picking out the fabric. When we got the chairs back we were so excited to see that the workmanship was detailed and thoughtful. I would definitely recommend them. Our chairs are better than they ever were.”

“I can’t say enough about how much the team at The Chapman Collection has helped me to find the perfect antique pieces and art work for my home. Melissa & Ron delivered unbelievable 5 star service on every transaction. The best buying experience for me ever…couldn’t be happier and look forward to my next visit at The Chapman Collection!!!”

“I come here all the time with my friends; it's a nice place with conversation starters and rare finds :)

Just recently bought a silver chain for a pendant purchased online. Had two women here help me out who were very gracious, patient, and helpful in finding one that fit nicely.

Feel free to call ahead if you're looking for something specific, too — there's a little bit of everything.”

“An amazing collection of everything Hawaiian, old and new, at very reasonable prices. You can buy beautiful collectibles and quality vintage clothing as well as home decor and souvenirs for the grandkids. We spent at least an hour in here thoroughly entertained. Stop in if you’re driving down the coast!”

“The store has been there forever with the same owners. They are wonderful people I highly recommend going there. They have beautiful things to buy for great prices. They also will purchase your items that you do not want anymore and give you a good deal. I hope this place is around for ever. It's so nice to have a nice little mom and pop shop still in Encinitas. Everything is getting so big these people are really great.”
