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.

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.)

I am not sure why I had The Ruddy Duck bookmarked in my "to try" list. It might have been because…read morein the Yelp category men's clothing is also listed but upon arrival here after looking around dow stairs and upstairs this is definitely a women's clothing store. Perhaps they had men's clothes at one point in time and they phased it out. Some stores do that. Or sometimes I bookmark businesses and the reason why I did that gets forgotten. But aside from that the merchandise is very nice and good shop situated in downtown Hood River. The clothing has kind of western style spin to it but in a classy, socializing way as opposed to western wear that is also work wear. Everyone that worked here was very nice and they had some very nice blankets that they had here for sale so that is also something to consider while out and about downtown.

Personally, I like that the staff allows me to wander without constantly asking me how I am or if they can help. I like to browse without pressure and when I am in Hood River, I browse more than purchase! I can't buy something in every store so I walk in and out of the shops and then determine what I can't live without. At Ruddy Duck, I have found and purchased unique handmade earrings, which is my style. I like wearing jewelry that no one else is wearing! On my last visit I found a great black and white boho maxi skirt that transcends all seasons. Especially like that the dressing room has the most spectacular view of the river! Great shop on my "route" whenever I am in the area.

The store is loaded with boots for women and men, all lined up, many with colorful embroidered flowers or emblems. Lots of boots that come up to the knee, as well as the shorter ankle style which is more practical for every day. Along the wall on a rack, there were lots of men's shirts in colorful patterns. To me, an assortment of both Mexican and SW styles. Men's belts, many with intricate detail, caps, hats, wallets, and accessories round out the merchandise. Also shirts and jackets for women, men, and even children. While I wasn't there to purchase anything, I enjoyed checking out the merchandise. The owner, Luis, was very friendly and happy to show me around. He will even place a special order if there is something you want but he doesn't currently have it in the store. Not my style, but certainly not going to deduct stars for that.

Located on the corner of 2nd & Oak, I've passed this shop so many times but wasn't in need of children's clothing. When a friend was welcoming her first grand a bay, I knew exactly where to purchase a gift. The designs are practical and durable while also being fashionable. Move over denim overalls and say hello to clothing in various earth colors - muted browns and sage green - with touches of sunrise mixed in. Hoodies, leggings, khakis, shorts with pockets, warm jackets and hats, long and short tee shirts emblazon with cute wilderness sayings - so many choices! And just like adult stores, there is an assortment of gear. Backpacks, blankets, sippy cups, plastic dishes and flat wear. So many cute items! Even though tractors and farm & vineyard equipment. Every holiday brings seasonal apparel that is just as precious. Right now there are lots of lucky clovers adorning onesies and sweatshirts with St. Patrick's Day approaching. Whoever sources and curates their clothing really does a fantastic job! The clothing here is not cookie cutter, and that's a good thing! A boutique with affordable clothing. Friendly service, reasonable prices, great location all contribute to the five star experience in addition to the fabulous clothing.

On my recent visit, I fell in love with their Valentine's Day loungewear, pun intended, which featured a two-piece set in a creamy tan with neutral hearts. Not the over the top pink & red that usually appears this time of the year. This is exactly why I love this store! They carefully select and curate items that are unique, beautiful, and comfortable and can be worn by anyone all year long. The owner and staff are helpful without being intrusive.

Shortt Supply is a business to be avoided. This business changed ownership recently and it is not…read morewhat it once was; an owner that stood behind their products and valued their customers. Last August I purchased a $150 pair of Topo Athletic shoes from Shortt. The purchase and fitting experience were exemplary. I have worn them occasionally since then approximately once a week for exercise walking. Recently I noticed that both shoes were abrading a hole at the same location on the inside collar. A call to the manufacturer directed me to the dealer to resolve the problem. On my visit to Shortt I was directed to the manager. It was clear from our first interaction that Shortt would not make any effort to resolve the defect in the product. To add insult to injury, after confirming that the shoes had not been subject to excess wear, I was told that I was at fault in my manner of walking despite 70 years of not having a similar issue with any shoe. No relief was offered. While Shortt has a wealth of excellent apparel, shoes and accessories at premium prices, they clearly have no interest in standing behind their products or making any effort at customer service. This is a business that knows it can overcharge tourists who will never be around to seek a remedy for a faulty product. There are several other reputable shoe options in the Gorge and you should give them your business.

First time I shopped here years ago was because I needed a good pair of walking shoes with arch and heal support. Those working here know what they are doing. They don't just recommend shoes, they fit you for the pair that best meets your specific needs and fits you properly. For anyone who has suffers from foot or knee pain, you know how life changing a properly fitted pair of shoes can be! In addition to a robust shoe, sneaker, running shoe, hiking boot area, Shortt's has all of your camping needs covered. Tents, sleeping bags, outdoor cooking equipment, dehydrated food, small cook stoves and more. They carry every color and size Hydro Flask and totes and coolers, too. Jackets, rain gear, hats, caps, swimsuits, sunglasses, clothing, waterproof pants and tops, maps, books - they have it all. The only section that I wish was more robust is the swim section. I swim an hour a day and while they had a few swimsuits, goggles and swim caps, I was looking for a mesh bag to carry my swim fins, gloves and goggles. They had three TYR bags but they were super bright neon colors and I want something more subtle. This is a family run business and they are all about personal service and as a result, when the store is crowded it can be challenging to get assistance because those working there definitely give full attention to the person they are widening with. It's worth the trade off. Definitely recommend.
