Pretty cool little store from the outside, with tons of potential, but after having this on my todo list for a month..i was honestly a bit disappointed at the stock.

The best gifts I've received are those that came from Eldorado General Store. Whenever I'm in the market for some more magic- I know exactly...
Read moreWent here for the 1st time yesterday and I'm literally going back again today, everything is so gorgeous and I could spend so long in here seriously. The setup makes me feel like I'm in the dressing room or bedroom of my dreams while I'm shopping !! I love the creative way the staff arranges and displays the items for sale. It's artful, inviting, and still super easy to find prices on items. It's so eclectic in here I'm so obsessed. See you guys later today, stopping in before work again for that sweet sweet jadeite cup/plate if it's still there!! if it's not there, I have no doubt that there will be something else on the shelf to fill me...
