Fabulous thrift shops in the hear of The Dalles! Thoughtfully curated, beautifully styled, the…read more"boutique" in the title is an accurate description. The boutique is quite large and everything is well organized in small sections with plenty of room to walk down the main aisle and around each area. The minute I walked in my eye caught a burnt orange scarf a mannequin was wearing. Immediately I took the scarf off the mannequin knowing it was actually a lace tablecloth, perfect for the fall and Thanksgiving. For $15, I didn't even have to think about it! So many wonderful items, something for anyone's style and budget. Old leather objects and jackets; vintage phone from the 30s; tea cups & saucers; wooden trunks refinished and could be used for end or coffee tables; vases, serving pieces, estate jewelry, fashion jewelry, art, small pieces of furniture, barware, glassware, and vintage material & clothing. Fell in love with a pair of off-white boots with flowers embroidered up to the knee. They were stunning! If only they fit! A one of a kind statement piece. Hanging on a wall was a macrame owl. Quirky, homemade, vintage - I had to have it! That's what is so fantastic about these type of stores. Hundreds of people probably walked by that owl without a pause and yet it stopped me in my tracks! In addition to standard art like canvas and pictures, I like to adorn my walls with different expressions of unique art. This owl will definitely do that. And for $12, no risk. The owner is clearly passionate about her business, as excited as I was for my "finds!l She was chatting with several customers that obviously stop in often and just as easily made conversation with tourists visiting from out of state. She packaged my items in a bag with orange tissue and a bow, definitely a boutique touch. First time here but I will be back, for sure. On Nov 6th, 2021, they are celebrating their 8 year anniversary with 20% off and mimosas all day. See you there!

Typically I stop in resale stores for glassware, dishes and home decor items. Their shelves were quite sparse and what they did have, was easily double the price of The Goodwill. Now double means a drinking glass is $1.99 rather than $.99 so still affordable, but It adds up. They had a lot of Christmas items so I decided to check out the ornaments. Found a beautiful Mrs. Claus for $4.99 and she is now adorning my tree and is so beautiful! Also picked up a box of a dozen large rd glass ornaments and an Angel. For me, this was a good shopping score! They had some decent furniture; coffee table, chairs, side tables. A decent section of tools and garden equipment. staff was friendly. Lots of street parking. Worth the stop.

Had a fabulous experience at Hey Gorgeous! Sherrie is wonderful!…read more Desperately needing both a mani and pedi, I called several salons in The Dalles and Hood River. All had no openings for weeks. What? Honey, you are not in Portland Anymore! In Portland, you can walk in any of the 50-100 salons and get any service, no wait, 7 days a week. Yes, I know The Dalles and Hood River are not big cities like Portland, but assumed there would still be nail shops with several attendants. Turns out many are true salons with just the owner or two people providing services. Initially there were no openings at Hey Gorgeous but Sherrie had a cancellation and called me back. Said if I could be there by 11:30, she could fit me in. I bolted out of the house and took the 12 minute drive to The Dalles, a beautiful drive I must say. Located right in town, inside and on the second floor of Hampton Furniture, the Hey Gorgeous salon is very private and comfortable. Sherrie got right to work and I was immediately impressed with her skill and speed. She never once had to clean up the gel Polish; every swipe was meticulously applied and no need for any touch ups. The pedi was equally impressive. I've been having my nails done for 35 years and never has anyone done the service in the order that Sherrie did but after she explained her rationale, it made total sense. The real proof was how great my hands and feet looked when she was done. For the first time ever I had a gel Polish on my toes and let me tell you, it's the best! Lasts forever, stays shiny, and you can walk out of salon immediately with no fear of a smudge. I swim every day and wear Finns. Usually my toe Polish gets ruined but not with the gel. They still look perfect two weeks later. I'll never go back to regular Polish again! Received so many compliments on my nails! Looking forward to my next appointment with Sherrie and will definitely call and book my appointment in advance. Sherrie is super friendly and I enjoyed our conversation as much as the nail service. Five stars all the way!

This small and expanding Artisan gallery is worth a stop if you are in The Dalles. Located inside…read moreThe Spotlight Cafe, next to the gorgeous Granada Theatre, the space is peppered with a variety of handcrafted items and food products - all local. Deborah, the owner, explained that when the building next door collapsed, many of the businesses in this area were in jeopardy. While her business, the Spotlite Cafe, is not currently serving food, she has filled the space with products made by local artisans to give them a place to showcase their goods. The items are very diverse. Aprons by Ragmuffin catch your eye when you enter. The whimsical fabrics and shapes -that actually compliment your shape - are adorable and it's hard to chose just one! The aprons are reversible with a different pattern on the flip side in the same color palette giving you two options. They have much needed pockets in front and ties in the back that make them adjustable. For Christmas I gifted two of these and the recipients were delighted. There are even aprons skirts, which I use, and mini aprons for children. Lots of jackets for your pup in multiple fabrics, sizes and materials so you can keep them dry and warm. A sprinkling of jewelry, locally roasted coffee, honey, candles, fudge, fabric crossbody bags and totes in fun patterns round out the items in the first room As you make your way to the adjoining room, it's filled with purses and handbags made from various materials and lots of tapestry and embellishments. The scarves are particularly beautiful in wonderful palettes and yummy yarns and fibers. Even some felted gloves, hand warmers and a few tops and tunics. Most definitely one of a kind wearable art made by Deborah. I'm in love with a scarf and tunic in shades of the sea. The shop is small, so set your expectations. I give it five stars because I love the intent behind this space. It's all about supporting those that really need our help during these trying times, giving local artists a place to showcase and sell their art. Whenever I'm in The Dalles I will stop by to see what's new and will definitely keep them in mind for gifts. Deborah said they will most likely change the name and combine The Spotlite Cafe and Gorge-us so I will update this review when that occurs. Located right on E 2nd by the Granada Theatre, a landmark in The Dalles, you can't miss it. Open M-F from 11-3 although they were open on a Saturday this past week. Support local!
