Downtown Santa Paula is one of our go-to destinations every few months. Yesterday we were passing through on the way to Ojai, instead of making S.P. the main event. Dear Hubby wanted to stop at the antique places in town. I reminded him that the previous shop at this location had closed. I was very happy to see this new entity in the same space.
The address is the same, but the interior has been remodeled and modernized. It's much more open, with fresh paint and a different vibe. It's still a vintage mall kind of arrangement, with vendors having spaces for their own unique finds.
They feature a full line of Dixie Bell paints and accessories for those ready to refinish furniture. This is something we're starting to pursue, and I picked up a few supplies.
It was also fun to browse through the shop and see the treasures that dealers have brought in for sale. Prices are mostly fair.
The woman minding the shop was very friendly and helpful. Her sunny attitude complimented the new venue. We always enjoyed browsing the previous owner's shop, and now there's a different experience to be had with the new ownership at this location. read more
