    I'm confused- is it by appt only? I came today (a wednesday) during business hours but it was closed :( I don't really want to schedule an appt either just to browse around. I'm just curious because it looks like a cute shop :/

    I called the owner and it looks like the shop is no longer a shop but an art studio. They do hold a market every 4th Sunday in the parking lot.

    . The shop is located in Old Town Tustin and there are tons of little shops and restaurants close by, and an assistance league thrift store across the street..

    Hubby and I were in the area to purposely look for antique places to shop at. We did browse…read morethrough a few others in the area, but Grant's was definitely the catch of the day for us. It's located in a small-ish shopping center; probably around a dozen total shops in this small area. Close to the main streets. When you walk in, it's not that big of a shop, so you full see how every place is filled from floor to ceiling with lots of knicks and knacks. It was great :) There were some things that weren't for sale (namely, items in the window), but everything else seemed to be. Saw some great small and big pieces of furniture, glassware, ceramics, international items, jewelry, gems, beer steins....there were just a lot of different things to look at. The merchandise that caught my eye were some of the pocket watches he had that were NOT quartz, and they were working! Totally cool. The owner was also cool enough to show how he figures out what items are actually made of silver, and which ones are steel, so that was a cool demo :) Overall, will probably come by again. He definitely has a few gems. The only unfortunate thing is that it can be a pretty small shop, so there's only so many people that can be at the store at a given time. But, Grant was cool..and the AC was on! :P

Gerda's Antique's has been in the same location for over 30 years. She is a staunch german lady who will tell you exactly what she means and won't give you the hard sell. She has an ever-changing array of items from china cabinets, desks, tables, glassware, paintings (look up!), vintage clothing at times costume jewelry, and quirky things like reel to reel tapes, brass and wooden object de art. I once found a beautiful inlayed 3 legged table from Iran there and I wish I had bought it then because the next time I came by, it was gone. I personally have a soft spot in my heart for Gerda because she was my neighbor for 7 years when I first moved to Tustin. She will tell you what you need to know with no fluff, guaranteed. And you have to believe that with being in the antique's business for over 30 years, she knows what she's talking about. As a side note: as you drive into Jamestown Square, you may happen to notice the little white chapel in the parking lot. You can rent that from Gerda as well. UPDATE: 01/31/2008 After thirty someodd years, Gerda's Antiques as we know it in the Jamestown Center is going out of business. She will be moving some of the nicer pieces left into a shop off of Orange Circle.

    Outstanding Service Across 16 Years! This review is long…read moreoverdue. I have been working with this company for over 16 years, and they are truly the "crème de la crème" of the industry. Years ago, they handled a highly valuable, incredibly complex estate for me. I could not have been happier with the results. They are exceptionally knowledgeable, deeply honest, and secured prices for my items that I could not have achieved anywhere else. Suzanne, the proprietor, expertly guided me through the entire process and kept me informed of every single detail. Recently, 16 years later, I required their services again for an extremely complex and diverse liquidation. Once again, they exceeded all expectations. No detail was overlooked, and the execution was flawless from start to finish. If you are looking for the absolute best of the best, look no further. You will not regret choosing them. Suzanne is an absolute diamond, and her depth of knowledge and personal attention are sublime. Highest possible recommendation! If I could give one hundred stars, I would! And by the way, their store is AMAZING! Winston's Estate Gallery is like a Beverly Hills store and will not disappoint!

    Visited for the first time last Sunday and was completely blown away by the turnout! Not only were…read morethere so many people, but the variety of items was impressive--everything was well-maintained and beautifully displayed. I went in without many expectations and ended up spending quite a bit of time browsing. We didn't buy anything this visit since we wanted to get a feel for what it was all about, but we're already planning our next trip. There's plenty of free parking, and admission is free too--which, in this economy, is definitely a win! We love that it's so close to home, and it's been a long time since we've come across something like this in the area. We'll definitely be back in July before school starts again!

    Coast Vintage Market is a very cool swap meet style flea market with tons of items from yesteryear…read morethat will take you back to another time. It can almost be like a treasure hunt looking for that special item that calls out to you! Even if you aren't looking for something specific, you might find something that is awesome (to you anyway). There is definitely a wide variety of stuff, from vintage clothing, to old car emblems, home decor, old business signs, and toys that, depending on your age, might make you remember the good old days. Prices can be a bit high, and some vendors will haggle, but this isn't really the kind of market where you get an amazing deal. Most people know what they have and know the market for their stuff. Vendors are still friendly though and will chat about what they have. Located in the old Laguna Hills parking lot, it has about 10-12 rows of vendors that are about 50 yards long. Last time we went there was an agua fresca stand but no food vendors. Even though it's in a parking lot, parking can be a challenge so be prepared. Everything is under construction as the mall is closed down and the buildings are empty so people kind of just park wherever. All that said, this can make for a great weekend activity to get out and walk around. Though it is infinitely better in the morning when it is less crowded and cooler outside! Being in a parking lot there is no shade and things heat up quickly in the afternoon. Overall, a solid local experience, especially if you like flea markets.

They are so beautiful and always 20% off!! I found 2 more rings to add to my collection. What made this trip particularly special this time was the extraordinary customer service we received while we were there. Pat is an absolute gem!! Talk about treating her customers like VIPs!! We are going to be coming back more often now to pop in and say hello to our new friend and pick up more rings while we are there!! Pat is definitely a top notch representative!! What an incredible experience!!

There's an entire downstairs section, which is a little less organized, crowded, so I'm not quite sure if I've seen it all. When you walk in, the register is to the right. They sell all kinds of things. Whatever you can imagine, old and new, is what they sell: Clothing, jewelry, purses, stuffed animals, houseware, decoration, furniture, paintings, shoes, blankets, etc. I can go on and on. When I was looking for a table scale, I found one and it only cost $10. Because all the stalls are based on consignment, prices depend on what the seller is hoping to fetch on their items. The people who work there are always friendly. The manager and/or owner makes an attempt to greet shoppers and ask if they need any assistance. Parking: There is plenty of free, street parking.
