The woodworking and metal were my favorites, but I also loved the photography, ceramics, watercolors, jewelry, and fiber art. I didn't know you could "paint" with fiber. The artist I met was super-helpful, and the prices were surprisingly low. After shopping, I went down the street for some coffee and a treat. I'm going to bring some friends next time.

They are very unique and reasonably priced in the $25-60 range. Over the years I've bought several pairs and still wear them, still get compliments. In addition to jewelry, there are lots of prints, mostly scenes from Hoood River and the Gorge. Also metal sculptures - lots of fish! Amazed at the varieties. Plus ceramics, pottery, framed pictures, handmade soaps and notecards. Great if you are looking for gifts or something special for yourself. Today I fell in love with ceramic coffee mugs shaped like sunflowers. They were exquisite! But I have so many mugs and use the same one everyday so I did a catch and release. I may have to go back for them!

They also have sturgeon stuff and Gorge gifts as well as other roadtrip items. My go-to from Portland going east.

A hidden gem in Hood River!…read more I didn't want to mail my wedding ring to our jeweler for repairs and resizing. Hood River Jewelers was highly recommended by several people I know. My ring was repaired and realized for a reasonable price. It looks beautiful and the work was very precise. You cannot tell the ring has been resized, which was important to me. :) I now take all of my jewelry here for repairs. They also have a lot of original and handmade jewelry of all prices ranges for sale. Check this place out if you need a gift or quality repairs done on your watches and/or jewelry! You'll get fantastic and honest service!

They are dedicated dedicated to bringing you visual, performing, and literary art events to the community. The art center features a cool art gallery, a theater, and class room space. I really like community art centers, especially when I have a chance to sample a wide variety of styles that local artists offer. The selection here is interesting, the quality is high, and the prices are very reasonable. I was also lucky to come in during their "seconds" sale and came away with a nicely glazed collection plate. I also enjoyed a nice chat with the friendly folks here, and hope that I will pass this way again.

Absolutely Fabulous boutique! Truly.

Take it from me, a fashionista at heart who has shopped in many boutiques, Willow & Bark is a gem! This boutique in The Dalles can rival any boutique in Portland or other cities. The owner, Traci Griffith, is delightful. Helpful without being pushy, its like shopping with a friend, but one who is honest about how a piece of clothing looks and fits. Traci wants you to look and feel your best. Traci opened the boutique the November before Covid hit so her first 2 years in business have been tough. I'm so happy to have discovered this gem and hope others find it and support her. We need this boutique to be successful so we have a place to shop and find fashionable clothing! Sourced from many lines, there are flowing maxi dresses in subtle patterns; denim dresses in a variety of lengths; jean jackets with a modern design; blouses with beautiful prints; leggings and slim pants; jeans; duster length cardigans; and soft, gorgeous, comfy sweaters. A sweater by Shana Apparel in neutral fall colors with birds captivated me; if only she had my size! Same with a white fuzzy tunic with an Aztec print at the bottom and on the sleeves. I need to shop here often to make sure I can grab my size before others get to it! To make an outfit you're own, there are plenty of accessories. Colorful scarves, long dangly earrings, necklaces in many lengths, even some shoes, handbags, totes and hats. There are some home decor and gift items, too. Neutral pillows with lots of texture, throw blankets, lotions and candles, too. Items are well priced across the spectrum so anyone and everyone can find something within their budget. Located right on E 2nd, you don't want to miss this boutique! With The Pines 1852 Wine Tasting to the right and The Work Shop gift store on the left, and Sigman's Flowers and Gifts across the street, this is the block to shop! I spend a lot of time in Hood River and have recently been making my way to The Dalles. For 20 years, The Dalles has been a direction - meaning I-84 always posts The Dalles to identify the eastern direction of the interstate - but now The Dalles has become a destination in itself for me. Willow & Bark Boutique is one of the reasons! I will be back, often! Highly recommend!

I particularly loved the leather fringe earrings in various neutral colors. They also have a wonderful selection of unique handbags, many in tapestries and fabrics. Backpacks, totes and cross body available. Truly something for everyone on your gift list or for yourself! Whenever I'm in White Salmon, I visit this lovely shop.
