Lots of colorful paints, pencils, and markers line the wall adding to the bright, whimsical vibe of the store, designed to inspire! So many colorful masking tapes in a variety of fun prints. Lots of pads, papers and coloring books for children and adults. The books I browsed through have images that you want to color and then frame. The design and quality is just exceptional and the prices are the same as the "ordinary" mass produced books sold at the big box art stores. WhiLe I'm not an artist, I definitely dabble and love to color; it's such a great way to reduce stress while ending up with a beautiful completed project. There are gorgeous one of a kind greeting cards plus beautiful notebooks and pads in various colors and prints that make great gifts. if you keep a journal, you may as well have a gorgeous one! Definitely stop by this delightful art supply store if you are in Hood River and support this local business!

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.

We were really sad and ended up at Hood River Distillery where the owner mentioned Knot Another Hat just around the block! Oh. My. Gosh. For as many times as I come to Hood River I'm baffled at myself that I hadn't been to this shop! What is wrong with me?! We open the shop door and it was just pure magic, fiber heaven, a place of solace for those that work with fiber. The space is big, bright and beautifully set up. Right when you walk in there is a living room style set-up where knitters and crocheters come to do their work and hang out. The shop owner was very friendly and informative. We had questions about a few products and she answered them. She also let us in on Wine and Wool night where you come with your knitting/crochet project and drink wine! I love that there is a giant selection of Berroco yarn--which I am fond of. There was also a fair selection of unique yarns like locally spun yarn and imported yarn (from Ireland)! She had a small selection of needles, hooks and other supplies in a corner. Lots of cute project bags that are locally crafted! There was a nice selection of knit/crochet themed misc stuff, too! She had wool wash, dryer balls, TONS of patterns and hats that she has either made or designed. It's a lovely shop and has easily become a staple to my trips out here. If you're not a knitter/crochter it's a great place to get gives for the knitter/crocheter in your life!

I've been making jewelry for over 40 years, and while I no longer sell retail, I still love to make earrings, necklaces and bracelets for myself and friends. Handmade gifts from the heart are the best! Sparkling Creations has all the basics to make jewelry - findings, wires, tools, beads - and like all bead shops, many unique pieces. Whenever I'm shopping on Oak I stop in to check out the beads to see if anything catches my attention. I don't need anything! But that is why these type of shops are fun because you will come across a stone that will inspire you to create. In addition to jewelry supplies, they have lots of crystals & stones for their energy and healing powers. And incense. Service has always been friendly and I appreciate that they allow me to browse and get lost in the beads without bothering me. And there is never any pressure to buy. If you have questions, they are there to help.

We were just passing through between drinking wine and eating apples and they were asking if my dog was a service dog as we were inside the gallery. They don't ask that about little children though they were running all over the place. At least my dog was on a leash.. ;)
