Very enormous with all sorts of goods like toys, snacks, artifacts, souvenirs, ornaments, games, and so much more. My favorite consisted of flowing fountains making me feel at peace. It was fully decorated with magical garden vibes. There were games where you can sit down and enjoy while others can play the piano along with drums. So much to see, I can spend hours hanging out in this store. Genuinely, this is the best store in this small town. Good friendly service was provided and would return in the future.

I've been remiss in not giving a "shout out" to Kathy's Dress Shop. I've been coming to Julian for…read moreabout 30 years and never came in here because - well, I guess I assumed it mostly had dresses. About 5 years ago, I was in Julian with girlfriends instead of my husband and we went inside. First of all, Kathy is such a sweet lady and so is the other gal with the small dog. They are both very nice and helpful! They have dresses, pants, tops, jackets, cute clocks up high, and some cute gift items. Through this shop, I was turned onto Jess & Jane brand tops, which I love (along with some other nice brands). Jess & Jane are often 100% cotton (yeah!) and are made in the USA (big applause). Every time we visit Julian (once or twice a year), I come in here and almost always find something. They also typically have a sale rack out on the front porch. They have a nice little dressing room so that you can try things on before buying. Check this place out on your visit!

I want to thank the owner of this shop for getting me out of a real bind on Saturday. We were…read moreattending a wedding in Julian, but an hour into our drive, I realized I forgot my dress. By the time we got to Julian, I was a distraught mess since we only had less than an hour to find me a new ensemble. Kathy was so incredibly helpful. She found a very nice dress for me to wear and was even willing to hem it if necessary. Thankfully, it didn't come to that. She also helped me find a great necklace to go with my new outfit. I had already paid by the time I realized I didn't have earrings to match. Kathy gave me a pair of earrings to take with me. I just can't say enough good things about her. The outfit turned out to be better than the one I forgot at home. She really came through in a pinch, and I'll be forever grateful.

I had a special deal going with Tom, where he would bring me a truck load of hay about every month. I could mix and match feed and hay and everything was very good. I found that it was a pleasure working with Tom especially but also with Jose I think his manager. I felt they provided very good service and met my needs beyond my expectations and really did a great job. Their prices were very competitive and usually beat out the local feed store. Thank you very much for your time and your service Tom. Old Wagon Farm.

The staff are helpful and friendly. They welcome you with a friendly smile and greet. There are some gift items available made by local artists. I did not leave empty handed. I purchased a calendar with beautiful nature shots and some greeting cards with nature photos. The museum is just the right size for a short walkthrough. A lot of great artists. Some pieces are very unique, just like people. I would love to return if ever back in town.

I recommend eating at Jilbertos for lunch and then Calico's or the Fushe factory for dessert !
