Introduction
Shoppers visit the Gold Country in search of antiques, collectibles, fine art, quilts, toys, tools, decorative items, and furnishings. Handmade quilts and crafts can be found in Sutter Creek, Jackson, and Amador City. Auburn and Nevada City support many gift boutiques. Sacramento's commuter communities, such as Elk Grove (south), Folsom (east), and Roseville (northeast), are exploding with subdivisions, and with them inevitably come the standard suburban assortment of chain stores and strip malls.
