Happy I "Found" this shop! Sorry, couldn't resist! This tiny shop is a bit off the beaten path,…read moremeaning it's not in the main downtown area of Cannon Beach but further south on Hemlock by Sleepy Monk Coffee. Trust me, it's worth walking or driving down To this shop! The store has an eclectic mix of offerings ranging from local art to vintage finds to recycled and up cycled and new items. Even some jewelry. Everything is thoughtfully curated and unique, not the typical items found in a tourist shop. Yes, there are items that will remind you of your trip to the beach but they are not in your face shouting "Beach" but more the essence of the Beach. For example, there are lots of items in turquoise, aqua and the colors of the sea. This works for me because its my favorite color, one I wear often and have touches of in every room of my house. Needless to say, this store speaks to me! The beautiful hand blown, glass nightlights feature butterflies, moons, cottages and dragonflies; they would be a great treasure to take home and remind you of your visit or a lovely gift for a friend. The owner works with local artists and carries many pieces in various mediums. There is always something new that catches my eye. Whenever I'm in Cannon Beach I wander down to Found knowing that I will always find something I can't leave with out!

I have since returned multiple times and it is somehow even cuter in person! They have so many unique goodies whether shopping for a gift or yourself: prints and other artwork, stationary, ceramics (including such cute mugs), art supplies (indigenous handmade paints!), bath and body items (Wato soap, yes please!), housewares, treats, adorable accessories and clothing, etc. Many items are local, too! They are always really friendly and nice in the shop, and it's just such a pleasure to wander. I honestly think my mom, sisters, and I nearly spent an hour there. If you can, time it so you can check out the Sunday Astoria Farmers market while there. Parking is not great as it's right in the middle of downtown Astoria, but that's just the nature of the beast, and worth it!

There are places that specialize in new, used, antique, vintage, Americana, Finnish....you name it. Shops for all budgets and tastes. What Nots & Wimsy is just such a place. Seemed to be heavy into Disney collectables and memorabilia from other entertainment genres. They also have a pretty eclectic mix of other shiny things and dust collectors as well. I was surprised that I wasn't tossed out on my arse for having never seen The Goonies and breathing Astoria air. The store had large framed homage to the film complete with autographs and other fun stuff. Fun little place to browse. Typical service for Astoria so be prepared to be not greeted and ignored upon entry to the shop. Many of our local merchants have lost the art of politeness sadly. I suppose it is the economy, the constant rain, dealing with tourists all summer, putting up with locals that have the gall to attempt to patronize them in the off-season...who knows anymore?
