That's the way it happened when we were moseying around the highway in Lincoln City near the house we rented. I'm not sure what I expected to find in a place called Red Cock, even though the obvious answer might be something I wouldn't want to dwell on. Turns out, the name is a clever business strategy. Lure the people in with the strength of a naughty phrase, then make them sing your praises by selling all sorts of unique and well-priced trinkets once they're there. Seriously, dank nudie bars of the world, take note! There were racks and racks of earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and other kinds of jewelry, including two-dollar rings at the counter made from the repurposed wiring of dismantled circuit boards in Guatemala and matching earrings and necklaces made with preserved coffee beans. Also, shelves with handmade soaps, small precious stones, chopsticks adorned with Transformer-like characters, and just about any gift made from unusual materials by local and less-local artisans. In the back of the Red Cock (har har) were closets full of clothing, from fluttery beach shawls to wool-lined winter coats and articles to clothe you from the top of your head to the balls (balls!) of your feet. And even though nothing appeared to be outrageously priced, I could have easily forfeited a paycheck in there. "But wouldn't it be awesome if they had T-shirts that say 'The Red Cock?'" you might wonder, as did one of my friends. With that question, the store proprietress directed my friend to the sale rack in the rear (heh heh, this is too easy), and my friends doled out forty more dollars to become the owners of lime green cotton shirts silk screened with crimson-colored lettering with none other than the store's name and feathery namesake. That's right. I'm getting hitched to a member of the newly-instituted Cock Pack. The Cock Pack's influence is so strong that one of its founding members - my Crime Partner - and I were walking down to the beach later that day, and Crime Partner was proudly wearing his Red Cock shirt. A man stopped him to ask where he had gotten the shirt and gave Crime Partner a compliment on his attire before walking away. A few hours after that encounter, Crime Partner and I were outside a grocery store when we saw the same guy . . . wearing his own lime green Red Cock T-shirt. The woman behind the counter presiding over all Red Cock business understood the alliance she was instrumental in outfitting when she met my friends and me. She told a couple of us that we had a spirited bunch of guys. And when I made a lame joke about breaking their spirits, the woman at the Red Cock was like, "Yeah, uh huh, good luck with that." Woman in charge of the Red Cock (yeah, I know) -- consider yourself an honorary part of the Cock Pack. Lack of fowl friends and certain bits of anatomy don't matter.

There is such a wonderful (and HUGE) selection here! They carry clothing (mostly for women, but there is a small section for men, too), jewelry, crafts, and more.

And there's a great sale section in the back of the shop with some really good deals.

The prices are typical and there aren't really any sales except for a small section of clearance items. The brands that they carry are of high quality so the prices are fair for what you're getting.

As I entered he greeted me with: If you have a question on anything, let me know. He was seated behind the counter and allowed me to browse and shop to my heart's content. I found both useful and whimsical items to give to special ones on my shopping list. I spent $190 at one crack... shhh don't tell hubs. Luckily he came looking for me after I completed paying for the purchases. All handmade items, I found cleverly made pink jellyfish ornaments made out of whole sea urchin shells with pink ribbons and some pretty bling embellishments dangling down. They will go on our Xmas tree. I also bought a wreath made out of seashells and ocean glass with a pretty mermaid at the bottom center. I'm thinking of giving it to little sweetie for her birthday. I found a beautiful multicolored shawl for $75 crafted from yarn so soft to the touch. Perhaps after the pandemic is done I can use at a future Yelp event at Blue Note...fingers crossed. The prices I paid for each item were good, the shawl being more costly but you get what you pay for in terms of enjoyment of the receiver who hopefully appreciates the craftsmanship or creativity of the artist. Mark shared two craft events, one being in Eugene around Thanksgiving time. I told him, guess we arrived too early. I love to peruse at my own admiring slow pace in shops like this- remarkable hands that created such items. If I lived here I would have seriously bought a fantastic rug. I had to stop myself because our fur bebe, as much as we love her, would think this is a new pee pad for her alone. Egads! Like the news has been warning, you may want to start your Xmas shopping early this year cuz shipments stuck on docks are driving costs higher and taking longer to arrive. Happy gift giving. Take care.
