It's so fun to figure out how things were used, marvel at how times have changed, and try to figure out how these treasures might fit into my decor or lifestyle.

I can't wait to see what I find next time I visit!

This place scared the shit out of me and that's no lie…read more I was seeking a little adventure in Bend and decided to stray from my usual haunts to find something unique. But this place is not only odd and completely non-conformist, I think it might be haunted. If you were a little kid, you would never in a million years knock on the door at Halloween. I find it hard to describe, so this is one where you should check out the photos. The farm is filled with sculptures that are a combination of whimsical and head scratching. A sign post with one arrow pointing to "Beaten Path" and another to "Off." Cows hanging from the trees, two-headed bowlers and the oddest wind chimes I've ever seen. Most appear to have been created many years ago, so like Petersen's Rock Garden, this place seems to be losing the battle to decay and the elements. You walk in the front door to a combination antique store and costume shop and the centerpiece is a dollhouse with a miniature TV inside playing a movie. One small room rambles into another through twists and turns and then you are outside. The most interesting thing for my family was the house with a kaleidoscope that you view by sticking your head in Carmen Miranda's mouth. According to their sign, they are currently open Friday - Monday from 11:02a - 6:03p. We drove up outside of those hours and the owner arrived while we were there and let us in anyway. When we were leaving I thanked him for letting us go on a tour and I mentioned that I heard about his shop through an article about Oregon oddities and he got a far away look in his eyes and said, "Well, my mother always said I was odd." Visions of Psycho. Run!

The Funny Farm has seen better days. On my first visit in the early 90s, the Farm was…read morewell-maintained and well-loved by tourists, who posed with surly fainting goats and mammoth surreal statuary, got unofficially hitched by the Love Pool and bought bowling ball seeds by the packet. The park gradually began to age but stayed on a more or less even keel until 2005, when one half of the couple who built and maintained the farm passed away. Since then, "The Far Out Park & Playground of Reuse and Recycling" has seen progressively tougher times, culminating in the surviving proprietor's arrest for the alleged sale of marijuana and methamphetamine in late 2007. Despite the tragic circumstances that have led to the downfall of this once-popular outsider art haven, there is a sad beauty about the Funny Farm's decay. As the psychedelic statuary bleaches and crumbles under the Central Oregon sun and native plants begin to reclaim the land, the Farm sheds its kitschy veneer for something more natural and poignant. You'd swear the bowling ball trees really were spreading their roots in the dusty soil. Artistic mementos of Gene and Mike's sadly abbreviated relationship are everywhere. Nowhere but the Funny Farm could a statue of a two-headed bowler in a silly-looking neon onesie have such emotional gravity. A dirt yard in back of the main house is covered with half-finished projects and bits of junk that may have once had artistic potential, now long-abandoned and rusting away. There are few things sadder or so emblematic of wasted potential than a work in progress that just stopped progressing. That's the Funny Farm. Warning: I have no idea if this place is actually still around, and I hope someone more familiar with the attraction will shed some light on its current status. The proprietor of the Farm and his surviving family have clashed with the law on a number of occasions in the last decade, and as a result the Funny Farm has been closed with great finality and then reopened quietly multiple times. Roadside America reports it open as of October 2008, but I can make no guarantees.

This town has been a thorn in my side ever since mom married her 8th husband, and moved to God forsaken Gilchrist . Bend came into it when a job was needed.( I bleeve the cut-stock mill just weren't cutting it). I was marooned up here the first time 25 years ago give or take. I recall thinking-" who in their right mind would stumble into this blight of a place and drive a flag in?!! " . People spend 80 percent of their energies just beating nature back enough to exist in it . (SERIOUS WEATHER). One bright spot throughout was Eddie. A friend. He always greeted me with a genuine smile and a how are ya? The town is quite fancy now. It's still Bind, to me . Go meet Eddie . A fine fellow .

Although they've been in their new digs for a while, we had not yet been inside given that previously we felt the items for sale, while lovely, were too arts and crafts era oriented for our home. But today we found a nice expansion of accessories and home items. The store's merchandise is still arts and crafts centric but with other items added and we ended up making a couple of purchases. The goods for sale range from table linens to lamps to soaps to jewelry to wall art to birdhouses to table top accessories to candles to decorative books to greeting cards to vases to area rugs... I just scratched the surface. If you like birds, nature themes, botanicals, great textures and colors there is probably something here for you even if the Bungalow era isn't your look. Prices are fair too, not low but reasonable for a downtown store. It's also a well lit comfortable space for shopping with wide aisles to make it pleasant. (The sardine can aisles and product spacing in some stores is a puzzle for how the owners think It is good for customers.) And in this case the reward for the owners is that, as example today, the shoppers included a dad pushing a stroller and a woman using a mobility aid. Good access brings in customers. Footnote for my "good access" comment above: there is a one step down to the lower part of the store so if you use a wheelchair, just a "head up" about that barrier to full participation.

The selection is broad, the choices are handsome, browsing around is fun (and sometimes educational), and it's all fairly affordable.

There were actually several items that caught my attention that I was ready to buy. As the Man of the House, I pulled rank and then got it yanked right out from under me! Maybe next time.....
