Rustic Rose Mercantile - used to be called "Rustic Roses." When it was called Rustic Roses it had…read moredifferent ownership. When the new owners took over in November of 2022, they renamed the store Rustic Rose Mercantile. From my understanding, I believe that the new owners kept much of the same vibe/ambiance as Rustic Roses, but they have added even more local artists and color to the store's whimsical displays. I stopped in here recently.The gentleman behind the counter was friendly and welcoming. He was helpful whenever I had questions about their inventory. I didn't have much time to browse, due to time constraints, but I did spy a plethora of fun finds during my brief visit. I ended up purchasing a 'soft edged arrowhead shaped piece of what I believe is jade strung on a cord' necklace. The gentleman behind the counter (who I believe may be one of the owners) explained that a local family makes the necklaces and that they bring them by the store to be sold. Many of Rustic Rose Mercantile's showcased jewelry artists are local. Jill King is one my favorite local jewelry artists - and she has a stunning turquoise necklace being sold here - along with her other well crafted jewelry pieces. In addition to a plethora of local and vintage jewelry items, Rustic Rose Mercantile has decor items, clothing, candles, antiques, crafts and much more. Everywhere you look inside this spacious spot - you'll find something new. They even rent out a decent sized portion of their store to a local comic book seller/collector. My new jade necklace rests on me as I type this. I love the way that the coldness of the stone warms against me. Locally made warmth. Trust.

If you're in Sonora, you need to visit The Groovey Shack on Washington Street!…read more Owned by Alex Morehouse, this shop is something truly special. Alex has an incredible eye for design not just in her own pieces, but in how she understands people. She has this rare ability to think like her customers and help create spaces and styles that genuinely fit who they are. That kind of empathy is hard to find, and it's what sets her apart. The clothing and items she curates are not only beautiful but comfortable. They are the kind of pieces you reach for again and again. Every item feels thoughtfully chosen, with quality and style working together effortlessly. But what really makes Alex stand out is who she is beyond the shop. She is deeply invested in her community and consistently goes the extra mile for others. She has personally helped my son, who has a congenital heart defect, more times than I can count. That kind of care and follow-through for customers she hardly knows says everything. She's also one of those rare people who "knows a guy" in the best way possible. Her ability to network, connect people, and open doors is remarkable. She brings people together in a way that's both natural and impactful, and you can see that reflected in both her business and her life. I bought my daughter a beautiful hand crocheted blanket for her eighth birthday from this store. Finding my daughter asleep, comfortably wrapped in said blanket, every morning since she unwrapped the beautiful blue and white blanket is such a joy. This is more than just a boutique it's a place built by someone who truly cares. And that truly makes all the difference in every item sold.

TL;DR: $10 MINIMUM ON CARD…read more I was pumped about this store when they first opened and have scored some great deals there. Pricing for things that I am interested in can be hit or miss, but maybe that's what works for them. I had a pretty disappointing experience today when I picked out some childproofing furniture straps and a KiwiCo board book for a total of $7 plus tax and the owner informed me there was a $10 minimum on card. I apologized and stated I didn't realize. She then proceeded to dramatically and passive aggressively wave to the small paper sign on the front of her register and the larger sign on the heavily decorated wall behind her that read "$10 minimum on cards". I felt that was needlessly rude after I had sincerely apologized for my mistake. The place is tiny and I had already scoured all of the inventory so I did not complete my purchase. I'm a local and even showed her how to use her Square system when she first opened in her original location because she couldn't figure it out. I get processing fees are a bummer, but all the other thrift stores in town only have a $5 minimum for cards. Unfortunately I see no reason to go back. She also has no problem selling outdated and recalled baby items such as the Rock 'N' Play so buyer beware.
