East West Books is a popular place to search for spiritual and metaphysical literature. Their selection is really extensive and they have many books that might not be found at mainstream bookstores. The shop also contains some neat gift ideas for those hard to shop for friends. The staff is exceptionally kind and helpful, and they are always willing to engage in discussion about the latest works that they've read or to recommend a good title. The environment is very peaceful, and you could spend a long time in this place without realizing how long you'd been there.

Frith & Bradshaw is a small jewelry store located near the corner of California Ave and Fair Oaks Blvd in Carmichael. Mr. Frith & Mr. Bradshaw are two of the nicest businessmen you'll ever meet. I went in there to have my engagement ring and my wedding ring "married" together, and they were able to do it for me on the spot so that I didn't have to leave my ring overnight in the store. The work was excellent and has held up extremely well. They offered to clean all my jewelry that I had on, and they told me that I could come back at any time to have them cleaned again for free. They added me to their mailing list, and now I receive invitations to Open Houses and Showcase parties at their store. Great people, and the service absolutely can't be beat.

Goore's is a great place to look if you're designing your nursery for your first baby. They have tons of ideas on furniture and bedding set up in their mock nurseries throughout the store. The items that Goore's carries are higher end, so therefore are much more expensive than comparable items at other stores. The quality is impressive, which explains the higher cost, but unless you are planning on having a large family, you probably don't need to spend so much money on baby furniture. The clothing, gear and other accessories you might need can all be found here as well. The staff is very helpful, but watch out for buying items that you might not really need. Kids love to play in the big chair that sits by the front door.

This store is fairly new, but the response to it has already been overwhelming. The owner sends out coupons and samples on a regular basis, which I'm sure has lead to her great following so far. The store is really small, but the items that they carry aren't all things that can be found in other stores, so it's a good place to check if you're looking for some unique supplies. The owner offers classes and advice, and she's willing to spend as much time with you as is needed to make you feel like you're at home in her store. The prices are very resonable.

Scrapbook Station has a great selection of papers. Their selection of embellishments isn't as big as some of the other stores, but they do offer a little bit of everything. The aisles of the stores are pretty cramped, so it's not a place that you'd probably want to take your children because they can reach the shelves even from a stroller. The staff is really helpful, and they have tons of sample pages in books on the counter that you can puruse for ideas. Their selection of albums is also a little limited, but they seem to carry the best of what's out there, so the smaller stock isn't really an issue.

Evangeline's is a definite "To Do" in Old Sacramento. The store is filled with all kinds of wacky novelty gifts as well as some true collectibles and memorabilia. The store has something to offer for everyone in the family, and kids of all ages will want to put their hands all over all the fun playthings in the store. The best time of year to visit Evangeline's in before Halloween when they open their giant costume shop. The costume shop is THE place to get all your halloween costumes and accessories. They have everything from the cheap costumes you get at the mall to exquisite pieces of costuming that will make a statement and last for years. The prices can't be beat, and you can usually walk away with a one of a kind outfit for less than you would have spent elsewhere.

Mad About Scrapbooks is one of the biggest scrapbook strores around. They offer all kinds of papers, embellishments, stickers and albums from the top name brands in scrapbooking.

EJ's Little People is the ideal place to take your child for their first haircut. Every barber in the shop is dedicated to making the experience fun and painless for your little one. I have been going to EJs since I was little myself, and I always remeber actually being excited to go for a haircut because the people there were so nice to me and they were always smiling and telling jokes. Their aim is to make kids AND parents comfortable with the experience, and they are succeeding admirably.

Capitol Aquarium is the best place around for all your aquatic supplies. It has anything and everything you could need - from a one goldfish bowl to a 300+ gallon saltwater aquarium set up. The selection is incredible. Your kids will go crazy and spend hours just trying to decide which new fish to add to their collection. The staff is the best around, and they are able to answer even the most obscure questions with complete knowledge and confidence. Even if you don't have an aquarium, this place is just fun to browse and look at all the neat fish they have.

Capital Nursery has a great assortment of plants, but there is nothing that really makes them better than any of the other nurseries. The prices are comparable to other local nurseries, but they aren't generally the lowest price around. The staff here is helpful when you can find someone available to actually help you. The biggest problem with this place is that it is always really crowded so you feel like you're being rushed around the aisles and that you're always in someone's way. I like to take my time, and the atmosphere of Capital Nursery is more frenzied.
