    While visiting Old Town San Diego I came across Johnson House. It caught my eye right away and I knew I was going to be surpised by what they had to offer. I was right. As soon as you walk in the door your taken back in time as you walk through the isle and see all the baeutiful thtings they have displayed. The feel is from another era, victorian, vintage, and some items I remember from my childhood. They had some newer items which blended in well with their displays. I coulkd have been in here for hours just looking at all the great items they had displayed throughout thier store. They had clothing, jewelry, hats, lace & crochet gloves, purses, scarves, and nick-nacks from a time gone by. Jewelry was eye catching. Thre were so many pieces I wanted to purshase, but, I knew I had to controll the erge, lol. I found a magnafying necklace and it was one of the itms i purchased. I loved the simplicity of it and the function too, because lets face it, sometimes you need a little help to see things clearly. This was a good purshase being its nice to look at and nice for looking at things more clearly. Bells, Bells, & Bells. I found a tray full of silver bells. Unique silver bells and each one diffrent, perfect for a tea party. I chose one with a flower on top. Its going to look great at out tea party. Loved everything about this store and will definately visit agian when Im in San Diego.

    This place was very nice and it would be the store to go to if you were looking for colonial clothes. Worker seemed friendly and willing to help while prices are decent

    I am a huge fan of the Victorian era so when I find places like this (very rare) I go a little batty. I was visiting SD and staying in Old Town. I had never been into this shop before so when I wondered in, I was beyond thrilled!! Everything was so beautiful and there are a TON of different nick knacks to browse. I ended up going back the next day for a lace parasol and an adorable frame that I couldn't take my mind off of. The lady working the counter was VERY nice and didn't mind asking questions about the items in the store. I seriously can't wait to go back!!

    Love this store! As an active member of an reenactment group I found so many amazing artifacts I could buy and wear. They gave me a discount because I am part of the reenactment movement. Thank you for help and for having amazing products on hand! If I lived in SD I would go broke shopping here! Thank you again for your help so I could find the most needed pieces I needed.

    Luv this!

    I had a positive experience here, and got some history too. The woman in the store was so fun to talk with, she was so kind to everyone!!

    Unique, beautiful, friendly, quaint...I come here often for gifts and for myself. One of my favorite shops in this big SoCal county.

    This is what thrifting is supposed to be!! We came to browse after a tattoo appointment and I am so…read moreglad we dropped by. The shop itself is so darling cute and truly is a little gem. We met Hannah and Hannah who were running the shop and they were absolutely lovely! You can tell they put so much time and effort into making this place what it is. The prices are so fair and what thrifting is supposed to be. Their clothing is $4 dollars and their shoes are inexpensive as well. Their knick knacks were also very well priced and I got a computer bag that was brand new for $12 dollars. They also had mystery fun bags and we HAD to snag one, for $3 it's worth it in the fun of opening it alone. We ended up with some blankets, hats, and a gps and we had a blast tearing it open in the car (we couldn't wait). They also are a plant shop with lots of greenery all over and plants to purchase. I have a black thumb so I stayed away but the prices for them were also unbeatable. I HIGHLY recommend checking this place out. We love how they've curated the space to be and it's so worth the trip.

    I stopped by this place as one of two places to drop off my unneeded clothes for donation, as I had…read moresought out alternatives that weren't Goodwill, given how utterly wasteful and awful the company truly is. Besides the fact that parking is a frank issue in this location, what with currently unenforceable requirements to pay for parking (either managed by the private lot or by the City), assuming this is also meant for people who are just stopping by to drop something off, this location is small but very quaint. It is very prone to being very crowded. However, the décor is a worthy sight for sore eyes: it truly is a lovely setup they have. I encountered a couple of lovely women who appeared to be running the shop, and inquired about how much clothing they're willing to take. It seems that they can only take a heavily limited amount of such, and I was able to drop off a kitchen trash bag's worth of clothes. I didn't complain, because I understand (at least mostly, since I fully realised and acknowledged it shortly after I left) the limited capacity they have to work with. The entire transaction was painless and easy. I do recommend stopping here for the reasons above, and to be reasonably wary of the environment you will be getting yourself into. I plan on coming here again if I ever have to donate anything in particular.
