Beautiful Lois Hill silver woven toggle bracelet
Jennifer H.

I was in town visiting a close friend and needed to find a gift for my mom for her birthday. I wanted to find a plain silver toggle bracelet as she has a hard time with clasps. Most stores do not carry this kind of bracelet so I took a chance that I would find a second hand item at SB. The woman who assisted me (I think she is the owner) was so helpful. She knew exactly what I was looking for and pointed me in the direction of multiple bracelets. Boy was I lucky! I found exactly what I wanted. They had a Lois Hill silver woven bracelet. I previously bought the same brand for my mom years ago from a high end store. She absolutely loves it so I know she is going to be jazzed to have another one. The bracelet was in great condition and the price was very reasonable. I did not hesitate to buy it. The shop keeper wrapped it in a lovely gift box. The SB also has some gorgeous estate pieces if you are looking for engagement rings. They also have a wide range of Native American decor, jewelry and novelty items. The one type of item that you often don't see are beautiful handmade quilts. Antique lovers, I would recommend visiting this store to find your next gem.

Terrible experience drove all the way from San Diego to Ramona. This store is out of business. Somebody needs to update that site.

Grab Bag is just a fun place to walk through! Great prices and friendly staff. It's not a big…read moreplace, so it isn't overwhelming but it has a lot of really neat stuff, a "grab bag" if you will, of different things to go through from antique to vintage to homemade. I always find a little something for a birthday or to add to a birthday gift. It's great for teacher's gifts and stocking stuffers at the holidays too. It's my favorite antique shop in Esco and now has regular hours. It's worth a trip out to see what they have in their different booths. And even though it's neat and cute and stylish...it's never snooty or too kitschy. I really like it.

Oh, Escondido, how I love you and your antique and thrift stores…read more Grab Bag is one of many antique stores on Grand Ave. and in Escondido in general, but it's probably my favorite. It's small, run by really nice ladies, and isn't overpriced like at, say, the larger antique mall a few steps away. That said, it is smaller, so finding things is a bit harder. It's definitely a 'grab bag', but there are always a few nice gems there. Lots of old photographs and postcards, lots of knick knacks, and drawers of antique cloths/aprons/hankies/etc. I went and was able to find a nice variety of old pipes and lucky for me, they were all fifty percent off. Buying a sweet old man's pipe for only $12? Hooray! It seems certain days (most days) everything is fifty percent off, but the only downside is that it's not open regularly and hours are a bit sporadic. (I think the owner may have health problems which limit the number of hours open? But I don't quite remember.) Definitely worth a stop by if you're around downtown Escondido and looking for nice old things.

No issues with the store itself, as it has everything you'd expect from an antique store-…read moresilverware, typewriters, records, old McDonald's toys, etc. The challenge is with many of the consignment booth prices. There are many things that are egregiously overpriced. For example, there is a unicycle that appears to have been kept outside and has a flat tire. I checked online and could get the exact same model, brand new, for less than they were charging. I understand that booth owners can charge whatever they like, but just make sure you have your phone with you so you can check if it is a good deal or not!

It has been a while since my last review. I've been back twice and both times the staff are STILL…read morerude. They don't welcome you in or say goodbye when you leave (even after I said "have a good day!" as I left, they just ignored me) and while shopping they follow you around. While this may seem like a bit of a reach, and maybe other have had better experiences, it just feels that if you are youngish, or look young, they just treat you with no respect. As for the selection, while it is large, almost EVERY booth charges way too much for their stuff, which is frankly a lot of junk, but with "vintage" slapped on it to bump up the price. There are some other consignment stores on Grand with both vintage and handmade stuff which are all better priced and actually have nice staff. It's a shame because at one point I felt this store was a cool place to spend a decent amount of time in, but with the staff, and the fact that "vintage" = expensive, I just don't recommend this place at all.
