I can't remember the last time I had this much fun shopping for clothes. This shop sells a fabulous…read moreassortment of out-of-the-ordinary fashions for women who want to express their personal style. Leela suggested a lot of items with an eye toward what I was wearing. I'm kind of like a cat about new things: at first I think, "No way," but after I've had some time to (figuratively) pace back and forth staring at something, I'll often say, "Why not?" I found some amazing pieces thanks to Leela's willingness to let me go through my process and to not give up on me, and she never ever pushed me. Her philosophy is that Outback in the Temple of Venus is a place where women can go to be heard and seen and cared for and listened to, and also they sell clothes. I felt totally comfortable with her. I was the only customer for most of the time I was there, and we chatted nonstop. I was there until closing time and she never rushed me. They have items from $10 to $300+, and sizes from XS to 3X. Nice mix of natural fibers and synthetics. I would go back there in a heartbeat and look forward to making it a regular stop on my trips to Ashland.

To respond to what you said regarding my previous review: To…read moresay I'm appalled by such a response is an understatement, and a testament to your true character and integrity of your business. You not only confirmed my original impression of La Strada, but actually lowered it and I will make sure to share your response with my friends. And from one small business owner to another, I would suggest training your employees not to talk shit about customers when other patrons are within earshot. Also, don't push your "sale" merchandise on someone just so you can clear out your inventory...it makes you look desperate and unprofessional. ******************** And since you decided to DELETE your original response I decided to post it.

There seem to be pieces of furniture for sale as you walk in, although I didn't check for price tags.

We were intrigued by a mobile of the planetary system but weren't sure it was accurate, although, looking it up, it was. The store has been open 2 months and the young woman who spoke w/ us was very friendly and sweet.

After my coffee at Noble I decided to walk to a shop on the corner I always spot when I'm driving…read moreby. And, again pleasantly surprised, there was another store I have not spotted from the car. Between the coffee place and the shop on the corner is another store, I think, is an absolute must when visiting this part of town. For those who visit this might be a little 'off the beaten track.' Most people might go straight to Main Street and end up on "The Plaza,' but there's more to charming Ashland. I have a feeling one should almost be 'in the know' to end up on 4th street. Hence the face I'll review a few stores on this street. Being half Asian (Balinese to be precise) I was delighted to see 'Old World Artifacts, a name fitting to this store. It's like stepping into a different world, different south East Asian cultures combined with local art. Should you be in the area, I can highly recommend you to pay this store a visit. The owner, Franklin, is friendly and welcoming. No snobbish attitude I have often found in similar stores. Instead a man who loves to talk about his favorite places to visit and makes you feel at ease. My photographs will -hopefully- give an impression of the inventory of "Old World Artifacts." There's a plethora of artifacts from different Asian cultures. It feels like so much has been hand selected by Franklin on his travels. I heard him about Cambodia where he rode the bicycle; drop by to chat with this well-traveled man if you're interested in traveling to that part of the world and see what the culture has to offer. Not only Asian artifacts are for sale. When I walked in my eye instantly caught incredible art on the wall. It turns out thus is from local artist, Kat McIver. There's something deeply touching about her sculptures, they're all very different and I have added some pictures. I was told this artist works one day a week in this store. I saw big Buddha statues with a hefty price tag, which is totally justifiable and understandable knowing where it comes from. Having said that, I also saw rugs from turkey at a really great price for a good quality Turkish rug ($195 for a real Turkish rug is a steal). Being half Asian, half Dutch I'm aware of the prices of these rugs and I paid a lot more when living back home in Amsterdam. A set of locally made cards of $4. In other words: there's something for every budget. That's something I think is -especially in these times- a good thing. This store has only been open since October last year, so not too long. I will definitely be back on a regular base.

Roy and Lisa were a pleasure to talk to and we took a gander on their $50 mystery boxes. The store experience was 5 stars, the mystery boxes about a 3.5 stars. You definitely get $50 worth of items, but a few items are either opened or not labeled so you'll have to google lens it to figure out its use. You'll definitely get a variety of items half of which you might be able to use. Was pleasantly surprised to find a solid thermos, Henckels cutting board, culinary chef smoothie maker machine and egg crates and a good 50 pack of Hanes cloth face masks that will be good for shop cloths. You will take a gamble on the mystery box as it seems like there's odds and ends of which you would most likely find in the discount bin not necessarily on the shelf. This will become a regular stop on my travels to Oregon as they will always have rotating stock and new discount items.
