Gold Mountain is a specialty store and gift shop with something for everyone. The store front is pretty spectacular and you can tell the owner put a lot of thought and love into the setup. My husband and I picked up some home decor items that were made in Japan, including a well-crafted food tray with a rabbit theme that perfectly goes with our living room decor. I picked up some stuffed animals for our niece and nephew, as well as a unique tea set for my aunt. There are plenty of other interesting things that caught our attention, including a friendly cat that wanders about the store and never goes out the door. Prices are very reasonable, so do yourself and the community a favor by coming in and shopping small :)

There are some of the best hand made items here! They have a bunch of handmade soups, that, I can vouch for, are absolutely wonderful! They last so long, and smell so wonderful. Even sitting there, they made my bathroom smell so pretty! It was close to Halloween, so they had some super cute Halloween decorations up, im sure they do that sort of thing for all holidays. I had purchased quite a few different things. I saw that they had some boot cuffs, that were adorable, and pretty cheap! So I got those, and pretty much have been wearing them every weekend since its been so cold! I got some cute little gifts and cards for a baby shower I was going to; verdict: the mom LOVED them! They have a lot of sure little Mr. + Mrs. stuff for Newlyweds! They have a lot of stuff for baby decoration (NOT for the kids to play with! ), they have cards and signs, trays, handmade boxes, and all sorts of cute things! We probably spend an hour in this cute little store, just looking and adding to our basket! I can't wait until I'm back in town to check this store out again!

I was wrong. So glad I was too. This place has a beautifully designed interior and great furniture display fixtures to showcase their merchandise. Bonus, their items are affordable priced. Yay! Their knickknacks range from scented candles, cute signs with sayings, tablecloths, napkins, lace, mugs, etc. Currently, they carry the Jim Shore line of Peanuts figurines. Also the artist one-of-a-kind made wall clocks caught my eye, they are on the wall behind the register. Just drop in and browse, something will catch your eye.

I love the obsidian wind chimes too - so unique! I've always been interested in crystals, rocks and minerals. This shop has quite a selection of meteorites and the owner is quite knowledgeable about her stuff. If you have questions about the properties, she also has a book which describes which stone has certain attributes. Great selection of moldavite - the green, glassy substance formed roughly 15 million years ago, give or take when a meteorite (or some fiery thing from space) hit the earth and formed these beautiful gems. She also has a jeweler that makes custom moldavite rings! I was very tempted by a beautiful ring that had two moldavite stones surrounding a Siberian amethyst. Located on the corner, the store has lots of light and character and the owner is a lovely person who is passionate about her stuff!

On my last visit I bought a neat looking holographic type book for my son. I think I love it more than him. There was a little scratch on the front cover and the lady at the cash register gave me a small discount for it. I also bought a wood box speaker and when I took it home and charged it up, I found out it didn't work. Nothing wrong with the two wires included, but def an issue with the speaker itself. I called Earth Store up to see about their return policy because I wanted to come and exchange it for another one but I live almost 2 hrs away. The lady graciously offered to send me another one and I didn't have to send the old one back to save money. I received my speaker in a few short days and it works (the box came with one wrong cord but I just used the cord from the first one)!!! I am happy with the above and beyond customer service from this store and will gladly go back when I return to Nevada City one day.
