Boulder Creek Antiques & Art

This is definitely worth a visit. I spent a good 2hrs in here because there is so much to look at and, well, each round you make you spot something you missed before.
First off, it doesn’t look like the pictures posted anymore. In fact, I had to look for my receipt just to make sure the address matched the Unilocal listing.
This place is essentially a consignment store where it’s full of sections each belonging to a separate vendor (which aren’t usually present, but a mere phone call away in case you want to haggle). With that said, the staff is nice and very helpful.
You’ll find all sorts of «stalls» here, everything from those focusing on Toys to others focusing on Asian antiques. Jewelry to books to vintage photographs. Cookware to handmade soaps/​lotions/​balms. There’s even one with lovely glassware that contains a Fabergé hummingbird collection.
As you make your way to the back of the store, you’ll discover an outdoor section full of neat items, but most of it is caked in dust to the point that it looks unwelcoming or rusted (tons of vintage cast iron pots, pans, skillets).
I walked out with natural balms that are made by a local woman as well as an awesome, vintage mohair blanket from Scotland. It’s about 40yrs old and looks as good as new. It’s my new fave comfort piece.

Boulder Creek’s glorious downtown destination in the grand old building called «Mac’s 100 Year Old Place» across from the only gas station in town at the junction of Highway 9 and Highway 236 (Big Basin Way). The building itself is a relic to enjoy with its turn-​of-​the-​century false front, appropriately sloping floors, and it’s maze of adjoining rooms and cubbies, each filled every possible space with the artifacts of yesteryear for admiring and for sale.
Local dealers bring found objects from their travels to this collective and display the old and the new together in tasteful arrangement throughout. There is an extensive collection of rustic objects, garden art, and miscellany on the back patio. All in all a peaceful and reflective space to peruse the decorative and the functional of a lazy weekend afternoon.
Favorite vendors include Glenda’s Corner just past the front desk on the right. Glenda has an eye for unusual furniture pieces, marbles, buttons, clocks, tables and desks in rich well-​oiled woods, amazing old chests, and mirrors. Local art and jewelry occupy the space in the next room just past Glenda’s Corner. There is simply too much to list; fascinating surprises await around every corner.
All objects in Boulder Creek Antiques are high quality without being overpriced. The members of the collective obviously put their passion and time into collecting and displaying the objects for sale. It’s definitely worth a trip to Boulder Creek, CA just for the antiques… a true travel destination. If you take Highway 9 or Bear Creek Road to Boulder Creek, you can get your antiquing fix without wrestling with city traffic and parking.
And you can stay in Boulder Creek to enjoy the hiking, the local swimming holes on the San Lorenzo River (Sandra Day Park, Junction Park), the restaurants (there’s even excellent sushi right downtown!), beer tasting (Boulder Creek Brewery’s «Brewery Outpost»), and any number of wonderful specialty shops along the downtown corridor. Stop through Boulder Creek for breakfast, lunch, or dinner on your tour of Santa Cruz Mountain wineries! Get a massage! Explore an organic farm (Camp Joy), buy an organic picnic lunch at New Leaf Market. Or explore on foot the quiet historic streets around the downtown.

We come here often, mostly to just look around, browse, and possibly buy some stuff. They have a surprising (and cool) amount of vintage lunch boxes.

My husband and I were at breakfast two doors down and came in to browse after breakfast. They have tons of stuff, all in very good condition. The garden area has more items, but some not in as good of shape. Lots of furniture, jewelry and collectibles.
The man who helped us was very nice and went to 5 different stores to find boxes for us to take our items home in. We took home 152 pieces of china for an absurdly low price-​fabulous!

I love this store. There are many dealers with many unique things ! Each dealer is unique. There is a secret garden too! Everyone is very nice and it is just a nice place to go on any day to browse and buy! If you like unique things, this is a great place to go. New items arrive weekly, sometimes daily. And they take layaway! Check it out!
