Visiting Leavenworth near Christmas ends up being a goose chase for open seating at the popular…read morespots . So while we waited for our table at an establishment we walked into this store to kill some time and get some gifts . I was impressed by their eclectic collection of unique and culturally inspired items. The store has a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere, and things are artistically displayed . From handmade crafts to global artifacts, the store offers a diverse range of gifts that celebrate different cultures. We ended up finding quite a few fun things that made great presents . Prices are slightly higher because I am assuming a lot of it is exported .

There were unique gifts from all over the world with displays or stories of the people who made it and how they would benefit from us buying the products. We picked up a cute ornament, roll-on oil, and little figurine for amazing prices and the selection was really nice to go through. I think I spoke with the owner who was really nice and helpful. She said her shop has been open for 20 years, with 8 years at this particular location. If you have some time, definitely stop by and check out the shop's unique offerings -- love the mission of this shop to be fair trade.

Doh. Another one-star rating, which I feel bad for giving because if I perhaps did the following, I…read moremay have had a better experience: 1) did not laugh at all the cool funny things in the store. 2) did not take photos (I was discreet) 3) wore expensive clothing and acted like I had money. Son and I entered the store and were admiring and laughing at all the wonderful things. I was actually going to purchase a few things, such as the cat head purse and the drinking rooster, until a shop keeper (older lady), presumably hearing our laughter, came over to where we were standing, glared at us and gave us such a dirty reproachful look while reaching in front of me to "dust" the items, presumably from my nasty body flaking all over her precious merchandise. I could feel the hate coming off her body like a hot car hood in Mexico City. I really hate myself for not buying that cat head purse as I am looking at the pictures now and REALLY want it, but being treated like that totally killed the purchase and I walked out of the store unhappy. Visited back in July 2015.

So many Nutcrackers in one place!

They also had a fun kids scavenger hunt for cartoon and animal nutcrackers. You receive a museum band once you find them all. The nutcracker making video that was playing on loop was quite interesting.

There is a general admission of $5 which isn't expensive, but it's worth knowing before you go. You can see a small selection of the nutcrackers displayed near the entrance without purchasing a ticket so you can get a feel for what the museum has to offer before you decide if you want to go inside or not. For me it was just okay, and while I appreciate the impressive collection of nutcrackers from around the world, I'm not all that passionate about nutcrackers to be honest. If you're a collector or an antique lover or someone who really enjoys nutcrackers, I think you'll have a great time here. if you're just looking for something to do while you're walking around Leavenworth, I recommend taking a look at the free display and then deciding whether it's worth the admission for you.

I completely enjoyed our visit to this gem. So much so, that we went back a second time! It is…read moresurprising how much is on display, and the wonderful variety of Pioneer and Native American items. I loved the chaps made from Buffalo hair, and the old organs that won't play unless one pumps the foot petals. Of course, the outside village is an amazing collection of settlers' cabins and other structures, all with period-appropriate furnishings. I'm in a wheelchair; I found the museum to be very accessible. Admission is $10-12 at most, and Veterans are free. But seriously, consider making a donation anyway. These wonderful places require so much upkeep. We don't want to lose them!

On Saturday 11 September 2021, I visited the Cashmere Museum and Pioneer Village as a solo female…read moretraveler. The front desk worker was a bit brusque in their interactions, however there were a few of us entering at once, so it might have just been a bit overwhelming for them. As someone on a budget, the price was a little on the high side, however nothing exorbitant. The exhibits were easy to navigate and good use was made of the available space. Artifacts were meticulously laid out both inside the main museum and in the pioneer village. The Great Northern Railway car was open to exploration, which was very neat. The whole pioneer village was well maintained and a great way to get some context for what life in Cashmere was like in the past. I noted a few bloopers on my visit, one concerning geology and one concerning currency. Some people I know love bloopers, in Hollywood they are something that might go wrong in constructing/putting together a movie and are visible in the final product, and they feel it can add to the overall experience. However, I am not currently the biggest fan of bloopers, though I used to enjoy them more, perhaps I am just a bit rusty on their enjoyment value.

I love rocks and was drooling over the minerals and geodes. I ended up buying a pink and purple geode and a purple amethyst while the boyfriend got a really cool rock (I forgot the type). The gal who helped us was a character out of a movie. She was charming, witty and very knowledgeable of her merchandise. She was happy to help take things out of the case for us to look at. Kids came in for a treasure hunt they were doing for school, and she treated them with great kindness. Even if you aren't into rocks or fossils, I would recommend that you still check this place out. They have beautiful etched glass, mobiles and other things to peruse on the other side of their store.

Art In the Park is a mainstay in the center of Leavenworth. It's runs from May through mid-October…read moreeach year where several artisans can be found in tents selling their hard worked, handmade goods. This ranges from professional photography prints, painted works of various styles, pottery, jewelry, artists who will draw you as a caricature, metal sculpting and much more. The tents are located right near the event gazebo in the center of Leavenworth. Hard to miss. There are Artists who find residence for the duration of the season of Art in the Park, but there are also new artists joining so any visit to Leavenworth will mean a good reason to stroll through Art in the Park if you like crafted works. In addition, the regular artists may have one of a kind works so if you see it once, you may not see it again and on repeat visits the likelihood of something new being for sale is high. If you're in Leavenworth, along with all the sights you take in, pass by Art in The Park. Support local artists and maybe find that one of kind gift or decor for yourself or a friend.

Just happened that they had it on the Friday afternnon that I chaperoned a school choir trip (I…read morethink it was actually the first one of the season). There were quite a few booths - probably 12(?). Fun and inexpensive - bought a great print for $6.00 for little one from Wee Cottage. I like how the artists don't have to deal with the transactions and you can combine everything when you check out at the end. Hope we get lucky next time we are in Leavenworth and they are having Art in the Park!
