Trader’s Imporium Antiques

The owner of Betsy’s referred me to this place, along with all the other shops in Soquel. She describes it as a place where you have to search for the treasure yourself, unlike her shop where she finds them and displays them in a way that draws more appeal.
On an early Sunday, Jason J and I came down here in hopes to find some antique goodies. He unfortunately did not find anything that he loved. But I sure did. There were large buckets full of antique buttons! I sat there sifting through the pile. I was in heaven. One of my favorite places to go.
If you were to ask me what else they had in here aside from buttons… in all honesty, I’ve forgotten… but it doesn’t hurt to check it out. Within walking distance is another antique store you can walk over to in case it isn’t your cup of tea.
It’s a large space, with many dealer’s. Not a huge antique mall, it still had an appeal of a barn house antique store.
The dealers we got to meet that day were a pair of older women who were friendly and fun to talk to. They were even flirting with Jason a little, too cute.

There is a lot of interesting stuff here. Check things over carefully-​be sure to look under the price tag before paying for anything– as in any shop with old things. Wide choice, friendly people at the counter.
