After going to all the antique shops in Grass Valley & Auburn, I found this place to be head and shoulders above anything else in the area. 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. Michelle has a great design eye and is lovely to work with. She helped us put together a great collection of pieces. We can't wait to go back on our next trip to Grass Valley. read more

Creative finds, so much fun browsing, and Michelle offers great customer service! I adore the vintage cottage converted into a shop. Gold Dust and Rust is quintessential in every way. read more

Wonderful antiques and vintage garden finds. No junky garage sale stuff! On a visit over the weekend, we found a really cool hand-forged meat hook rod that I'm going to use to dry lavender and cooking herbs. Another beautiful item we picked up is a wooden apple-shaped ice bucket with a brass "stem." Can't wait to serve cocktails with it! read more

I've made multiple purchases at Gold Dust & Rust and make a point of swinging by every time I'm in the area. I especially love their vintage kitchenware! The owner is pleasant - knowledgeable but not overbearing. read more

So, I was in this store this past Saturday. The owner was there with her adorable little dog. That was the best of my visit. If you are an African American, do not bother going to this thrift store. The owner is not patulicularly nice to black people. I found her to be cold and off-putting. She was looking at the $93,000 diamond on my finger, and she had the nerve to ask me what my husband did for a living. Just Wow. I started not to purchase anything from her, but I wanted to show her that black people had money to spend, so I spent about $100 bucks. Her prices are not that great, and for a Saturday, there was no one there, so everyone in town must know her prices are kinda on the high side. Anyway, the bottom line is I am 58 years old, and I know when I am not liked just because of the color of my skin, and in this case here, I'm sure I know it is true. So, if you believe all people are equal, steer clear of this store. Thanks and take care. read more

I love this place!! There are some really amazing mid century modern finds here, as well as art deco and earlier. It's in an old house so everything is organized by room, which makes it really easy to not get overwhelmed or feel like you might have missed something. My mom and I enjoy coming here together and poking around - my favorite section is the kitchen, the displays are colorful and inviting. You can tell a lot of work and thought is put into everything here. It's great being in a shop where you can really feel the care that was put into the space. read more

Soooo I was a little hesitant to write this review only because this place is an AWESOME hidden gem in GV. Major Sensory overload. The collection of amazing treasures was absurdly astonishing, the owner has the best eye. Eclectic with tons of unique mid-century accents for your living space. "I Will Be Back." read more

I love this shop!!! Michelle, the owner, has worked really hard over the past several months getting this little gem in shape and it shows. Super cute vintage items and funky furniture. Really, for something for everyone. If you enjoy antiques that won't blow the budget, I would highly recommend a visit. I had a lovely conversation with the owner and you can tell she takes a lot of pride in her new business and loves Grass Valley. read more
