From the moment you walk into this bookstore, you feel excited. It doesn't even have a traditional…read morebookstore smell. Maybe the vast number of vinyl records balances out the dusty paper. (Which I do love BTW) This store has one of the most intuitive layouts I've ever encountered in a bookstore, and the selection, wow! After making all of my selections, I spoke to the owner for a bit. He seems to have a passion for finding everything interesting and unique. What a nice guy! I tried to keep it reasonable and only bought four books, but I already have plans to go back, and I reached out to friends who are in the area to see if there's anything they need! It seems more critical now than ever to have as many books as you can so that we don't lose history.

Cottonwood Creek is a cute and well appointed little gift shop in Downtown Minden. Gayle and I…read morestopped by today on our way to the Schat's Bakery a few doors down. The selections here are slanted more towards "girly" selections, which means that Gayle found a few nice gifts and my discoveries were more towards what she might like as future present. There were many options in that department. They had some very nice Christmas items on sale towards the back, but to my surprise, Gayle didn't bite. She told me later that she was tempted, but felt overwhelmed at home with all the Holiday items we already owned. Depending on post-holiday timing of putting everything away (including some thinning of our stuff), I might circle back.

I've driven past Cheshire Antiques multiple times and had no idea how huge this place is. I found…read moreout yesterday, as I walked into a 2-story emporium that felt like it took up an entire city block. I walked through it all, most I assume to be a hefty collection of rented "booths" and maybe some consignment. I'll need to come back again, as each antique store visit is just one layer of the onion. The antique wares were well organized throughout, although with differences in display density. There was a pleasant atmosphere in the store, both from staff and all the curious folks like me taking it all in. The husband of a friend used to be an antique dealer and he often talked about collection cycles and people age out and their treasures move on. I thought of that as I perused and sometimes admired an impressive collection of "stuff" that were previously special to their previous owners, and would someday be again.

This is a must stop if you like furnitire, jewelry, memorabilia, kitchen items, and more. We spent…read morehours here going from area to area. We went through the downstairs, and upstairs. I found a beautiful Beaver hat 5xxxxx made in Texas perhaps used once? If that! We got a great Tiki man that adds to our collection from various countries. My husband really wanted me to have a necklace we saw, and while stepping away he found a great ring for me. We could have bought more, but had to hold back. I saw toys from my childhood, and dishes...pretty much all kinds of things too many to mention. The ladies working here were excellent, and have to give them kudos for being so helpful.

However if we're in Carson we always stop in and have a look around! They support many local artists in the area with their goods in their store. I absolutely love the homemade soap!!

I bought 7 bars of soap today, two bars for my husband to take to NZ for his Mom & sister and the others for my friends I'll see next weekend in Virginia City! Who doesn't like a pretty soap with amazing smells. Definitely if you're in the area make sure and stop by and find a treasure to take home or for a love one. They'll love it!!!

Out of all the stores in South Lake Tahoe this is by far my favorite. I love their wooden maps. I…read morebought one for my husband as a wedding gift as we got married in Tahoe and were staying at the Grand Resort. The map is so intricate and even has an alcove of where we got married on it. I have seen other maps that are encased in glass. Now looking back I wonder why they didn't offer that option to me as an upgrade. I would have totally jumped on it as the delicate map wouldn't collect dust like it does now. They had a tahoe girl sweater that caught my eye this time. I loved the softness of it and the white color. What was a turn off was the length it was just too short. In the winter I don't want my tummy hanging out. I want to keep it nice and warm with the rest of me. They also have a nice selection of soaps that always catch my eye. I love homemade soaps and these look locally made. One day I'll cough of the money for a bar or two. I was going to get one for my gf as a gift, but I don't know if she loves soaps as much as i do or if she just goes for the soft soap on a bottle. I'll have to ask her then next time I see her. Last time I bought a paper pop up flower display for my gf's retirement gift. It was so fun as it was beautiful and never dies. I hope she liked it as much as I did. One thing that caught my eye last time I was there was a fleece blanket with a map of South Lake Tahoe on it. It was soft on the map side and fleece on the back side. It looked so cozy warm. I would have totally gotten it if not a month before I had gotten one from Alaska that had a map of Alaska on it. This blanket will make someone a great gift. I hope you enjoy this store as much as I do and take home a piece of South Lake Tahoe with you.

On Tahoe Time is one of my favorite stores in Heavenly Village. Located next to Starbucks and…read moreacross from Base Camp Pizza, it's one of those places that's worth walking through even if you don't plan on buying anything. Think of it as an art gallery mixed with a modern gift shop, filled with thoughtfully curated home décor, unique keepsakes, and Tahoe-inspired finds. We were welcomed as we walked in, which was a nice touch considering how busy the store was. The candles are always my favorite, and I make it a point to check out their beautiful wood-carved Lake Tahoe maps and canvas artwork every year. They have a great selection of pieces that can add a little Tahoe charm and sophistication to your home. Everything feels intentionally selected, and despite fitting so much into the space, the store never feels cluttered or overwhelming. One of my favorite surprises this visit was their expanded hat selection. They had trendy designs, Smokey Bear hats, and national park-inspired apparel that stood out from the typical souvenir shop offerings. It felt like they had something for just about everyone while still staying true to the Tahoe vibe. I'll definitely be back for another candle, sticker, or hat. And one of these days, when the budget and wall space allow, I may finally bring home one of those wood-carved maps. If you're looking for a unique Tahoe gift--or something for yourself--this is absolutely a store worth stopping into.
