For children there are books and stuffed animals. Books for adults, too! Many focused on wildlife, gardening, hiking and nature. Plus sweatshirts, t-shirts, jackets, hats, fashion jewelry, stunning colorful glass ornaments and some really pretty textured throw blankets. Also a few blankets in PNW patterns. In the back corner there is an area dedicated to food and pantry items from Oregon called the Farmers Market. Jams, chocolate, hazelnuts, honey and other items stock the shelves. Soon they will be selling local beer, wine and cider. The store is laid out nicely with lots of room to browse. Customer service was great! The woman working there was very enthusiastic about their products telling me about the history, the foundation and future plans. No surprise, I ended up buying a pair of earrings! I swear I could open my own jewelry store! Will definitely visit again while making my rounds in Oak Street.

Great staff and gift shop. This is a must-stop in shop if you are in Hood River.read more

One of my favorite things to do near the Columbia River Gorge is to explore the Fruit Loop, which…read moreis what I was doing when I noticed this antique shop on the side of the road. I'm from California, so I'm still not fully used to the way food is served everywhere you go in Oregon. I was thinking, 'Espresso, ice cream, and antiques? That's different.' Is the musky smell of antiques compatible with food service? Not sure how I feel about this, but I ordered a huckleberry soda, anyway. I was curious. It turned out to be one of the best flavored sodas I've ever had. I loved the huckleberry syrup. The antique selection was well-curated. Lots of interesting trinkets and jewelry. Everything you'd expect from an antique shop, plus a gentleman's room full of old Playboys tucked into the back. Service was friendly, and there was plenty of parking. There was no wait. This is a great alternative to stopping by one of the big busy farms if you're just looking for a quick drink, or (obviously) if you're into antiques.

The best deal - if you buy a vase, you are invited to fill it with fresh flowers you pick from the back garden. What? It's totally worth buying a vase just to get the gorgeous bouquet of dahlia, zinnia, cosmos, and more! The biggest surprise is that you can also get some delicious ice cream! It's perfect on a summer day as you are wandering the Hood River Fruit Loop or any season. The ice cream is soft serve, which is my fave. They have a shaded area next to the shop where you can sit and enjoy your treat. Check their website because in the off-season, they are typically open Fridays-Sundays only. It's a fun 6 as with most antique shops, you never know what treasure you'll find. And looking is just as much fun!

This new store is packed, jam packed with stuff! Be forewarned, it's random! Anything and…read moreeverything one can think of is here - old, new, books, toys, clothing, home decor, kitchen items, pantry items, candy, t-shirts, pictures, postcards, glass wear, baseball hats - the list goes on and on! It is kind of like a Goodwill store crammed into a tiny space with the addition of candy and pantry items. I guess it's like the name says, a Trading Post like back in the old days. Or a flea market, just inside a tiny store. For me it was a bit too random, made me dizzy to walk around and on this particular day, I just didn't have the patience. But for those who love browsing flea markets to find some random item that reminds them of their childhood or a fond memory, this is your place! Located inside next to Bettie's Place, a popular breakfast and lunch spot. The owner is friendly, has lots of suppliers that scour and source items. One never knows what will be added to the collection. I always wonder if anyone actually buys anything or enough things to keep a business like this, well, in business. I did notice a sign posted above the cash register stating the owner is seeking a new store to rent and will only be in this location a few more months (I was there July, 2021.)

Apple Green is a gift store filled with lots of beautiful and unique paper goods and greeting cards…read moreas well as gift items. Currently they have lots of holiday items such as nostalgic bottle brush Christmas trees, glass ornaments and Knick knacks. The store is delicious, like a well decorated cake! Everything thoughtfully curated and displayed. There are so many small items that one really needs to navigate slowly, even take a second loop around so that you don't miss anything. Succulents have been all the rage the last few years and they have a bakers rack filled with them in small pots of different shapes and colors. A gift that anyone would enjoy receiving or to decorate your own home. They were a bit on the expensive side but at the same time, the pots were cute. My Christmas colors are silver and white and I have many silver reindeer on display. Amongst the stickers, I found a pack of glittery reindeer stickers for $10 that I just had to have! They will adorn table place setting or Homemade Christmas cards, and fit right in with my theme. Will stop here again next time I'm in Hood River, for sure.

In the back there are dish towels with funny sayings. They also have a wonderful collection of jewelry from local artists and fun, affordable fashion jewelry, too. I don't think I have ever left without a new pair of dangly earrings! The women who work here are friendly and helpful if you need assistance. They also allow you to freely browse without pressure, which I really appreciate. Make sure to make a few laps around the store so you don't miss anything! I go in one direction, then reverse direction the second time; it's amazing how your eyes focus on different items when you approach from a different angle. There are large display cases in the middle filled with jewelry and also on some of the shelves along the perimeter. This is a great shop to visit if you are buying a gift for someone or for yourself! I've been here so many times over the years and have never left empty handed.

Absolutely Fabulous boutique! Truly. From the minute I walked in, I recognized the love & thought…read morethat went into curating a collection of women's clothing that provides quality fabrics, modern yet timeless design, and comfort! 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!

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.
