I looked at the price that was on the bracelet. I wanted it said $375. I went up to the register to pay for the bracelet before putting it on and the young woman did the transaction and never gave me a receipt. When I saw my credit card bill, she charged me $575.. I called the store and she answered and said oh well that's the price even though I explained to her I saw the price said $375. Buyer beware

With a vast selection of artisan jewelry, this is one store you must visit while in Hood River!…read moreThey showcase both local and national artists, pieces in various metals and gemstones, and best of all, there are lots of pieces in all price ranges! Never have I left this store empty handed! There is so much to look at, to take in, so just take your time making your way around the cases in the perimeter and the center. Then take a second lap! So many necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, jewelry adorned with gem stones, gold, silver, bronze - they have it all. The customer service is exceptional. They provide whatever level of assistance you seek and they also let you browse at your own pace, if that is your preference. Many items can be customized whether it's size, stone or if you want help designing a piece. Yesterday I fell in love with a station necklace, evenly paced stones and seed pearls in various Autumnal colors. As soon as I put it on, I knew I wasn't taking it off! The price point of $60 meant I didn't even have to think about it. There was a also a pair of long, curved silver earrings that I loved. At $245 I'm going to think about them and see if I can't let go of the idea of owning them. LOL. Fortunately, their jewelry is available online so if I decide to buy them for myself for Christmas, I can do so without leaving my home. During COVID they are using all precautionary measures. Hand sanitizer required and provided when you enter, wearing your mask. They are limiting the number of customers and using hands free check out, sanitizing between customers.

Terrible customer service. They sell incomplete patterns and then hide behind their no refund…read morepolicy. They make you pay extra for the instruction videos after you've purchased the pattern, and later realize during the knitting process that it's incomplete. We live in a place that values community, and their business model is very anti community oriented. The yarn is beautiful, but the experience is not. Rather than attempting to make it right with the customer, they'll just ghost you.

Their fantastic knit master Jill helped me figure it out in an email! She created a chart from the pattern that is easy to follow. This was over and above anything I expected or experienced even in person at a local knit shop. If you're not near Hood River, go online and see their wonderful yarns. The fact that they offer help is even more reason to shop there! Thank you Jill! https://knotanotherhat.com/

By Appointment Only -…read more Jason Hinkle (Owner) has been finding, cutting and polishing thunder eggs his entire life, and that shows in the works of art he has created with these stones... With multiple sources and his own mining claims he has accumulated an incredible selection of thunder eggs from around the world. Each one has a story; and Jason knows what it is. We have been to Jason's shop on more than a few occasions; we can say enough good things about him; knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating don't begin to describe. Along with rows and rows of sectioned and polished eggs in his shop he also has a small selection of minerals; some are unique and harder to find. Pricing is flexible and very reasonable... While this is not his core business, there are flats and flats to pick through with some truly nice specimens. By appointment he will even take you out to dig thunder eggs yourself... Jason is one of the handful of people in the rock and mineral business that has a true passion for what they do and enjoys sharing it with others. This shop is a MUST SEE for anyone travelling down the Columbia River on 84.

Had a fabulous experience at Hey Gorgeous! Sherrie is wonderful!…read more Desperately needing both a mani and pedi, I called several salons in The Dalles and Hood River. All had no openings for weeks. What? Honey, you are not in Portland Anymore! In Portland, you can walk in any of the 50-100 salons and get any service, no wait, 7 days a week. Yes, I know The Dalles and Hood River are not big cities like Portland, but assumed there would still be nail shops with several attendants. Turns out many are true salons with just the owner or two people providing services. Initially there were no openings at Hey Gorgeous but Sherrie had a cancellation and called me back. Said if I could be there by 11:30, she could fit me in. I bolted out of the house and took the 12 minute drive to The Dalles, a beautiful drive I must say. Located right in town, inside and on the second floor of Hampton Furniture, the Hey Gorgeous salon is very private and comfortable. Sherrie got right to work and I was immediately impressed with her skill and speed. She never once had to clean up the gel Polish; every swipe was meticulously applied and no need for any touch ups. The pedi was equally impressive. I've been having my nails done for 35 years and never has anyone done the service in the order that Sherrie did but after she explained her rationale, it made total sense. The real proof was how great my hands and feet looked when she was done. For the first time ever I had a gel Polish on my toes and let me tell you, it's the best! Lasts forever, stays shiny, and you can walk out of salon immediately with no fear of a smudge. I swim every day and wear Finns. Usually my toe Polish gets ruined but not with the gel. They still look perfect two weeks later. I'll never go back to regular Polish again! Received so many compliments on my nails! Looking forward to my next appointment with Sherrie and will definitely call and book my appointment in advance. Sherrie is super friendly and I enjoyed our conversation as much as the nail service. Five stars all the way!

Hand forged from sterling silver, many pieces have turquoise and or rosarita (red colored) stones inlaid. Definitely a soohistboho vibe. She makes earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings. I particularly love the silver feather earrings, they really stand out and can be worn daily or to dress up an outfit. Also love the earrings that feature an eagle. And anything with turquoise, my favorite color and stone! Wild Heart Wares has a booth at the Hood River Farmers Market where you can see her jewelry up close, talk with the designer, and try things on. I fell in love with a pair of turquoise inlaid earrings with sterling fringe dangling and made the mistake of not buying them right then and there. Came back the next week and they were gone. I showed Kim the picture I had thankfully taken, and she said that in January, when things are slower, she will do a custom order. Kim is delightful and has so much passion about her craft and the beauty all around us. If you love sterling silver and nature inspired pieces, definitely visit this booth at the Hood River Farmers Market Saturdays 9-1pm. There is also a website so you can purchase jewelry 24/7.
