All kinds of interesting things in there. I did like her work, but something about this bunny by another artist called to me. The sweet lady must have spent half an hour playing with different combinations of boxes and bubble wrap to make sure it'd be safe for my walk back and subsequent trip in the suitcase home to San Diego. "River Rabbit" now oversees our living room. An interesting shop that we'll peruse again the next time we have reason to be in Bend.

Picture framing and ideas using small jpgs from my Apple Phone camera came out beautifully, even when expanded to fit a 23x28 frame. All 9 pictures in frames were perfect! This made a great Celebration of Life for my wife! And, I need to add, this was done literally in 2 days! Thanks again to Bend Picture Framing. I will recommend your service and friendly staff to all!

I went in today to tell her that I'm not happy with the overall product and feel the matting is way too big for the print and asked if anything could be done. After a deer in the headlights look, she did not offer any solutions to make me happy after the money I spent. In fact her first comment was "well I cant take apart the framing to make it smaller." Her demeanor was not warm from the beginning and certainly wasn't warm when I mentioned I wasn't 100% happy. I cant express how much customer service means in our town, there are plenty of other places to support and even the smallest gesture matters. Do not recommend.

The change has done 'em good! Much expanded in their new location on Wall Street over what was in…read moreinventory when the store was on Bond Street. 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.

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.....

The shop is quite big, with interesting and unique stock. A lot of the inventory seemed to be multiple versions of the same type of gifts, and unfortunately nothing available matched what we were looking for in our gift shopping.

They also provided a coffee station, should you be in need.

It is very an Oregon shop with books on nature, Bigfoot, and cooking. There is a large selection of beautiful cards for all events. I will note for any with problems with string smells, they did have a very strong defuser going, so there was a strong scent in the whole shop. The only staff I saw was the ladies at the register, which makes sense since the walking area is enough for 1 or 2 people at a time and the shop was very full. Some of the items are priced very reasonable, and others are a bit higher than I would expect. So just make sure to check the prices to avoid a shock at the register. This cute shop is so worth the walk through and you may find the perfect gift for someone who has everything.
