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!

I was amazed they have been open over a year, because how could I have missed this wonderful store?…read moreThey have all sorts of housewares, accessories and jewelry, but I am a total sucker for kitchen gadgets and they had some great ones. Like the previous reviewer, I purchased the herb snipper, as well as a larger version for cold cuts. Some of the home decor items are a little too glam for my taste, but there were many items I'd be happy to put on my holiday wish list.

Home decor, candles, scarves, small kitchen gadgets, cheese servers, lotions, wrapping paper and even desk accessories. I found one of the greatest tools ever - an herb snipper that we use all the time. I also found some body lotion which I had never heard of but it is just heaven!

Beginning with a name like Weird Sisters, how can you expect anything other than that?…read more My daughter and I ventured down into the "hidden alley" of shops, where there is an underground tunnel of sorts and it's like a whole different world down there. Weird Sisters has clothing, jewelry, nik-naks, antiques (like a typewriter) and more. The owner was kind and steered us into the other mysterious looking rooms (there is an "entry room" where it's motion activated and lights go off and music plays...really fun!...). The lighting differs from space to space and it's done as if a theatrical stage. Very unique, playful and creative. A humorous and cool experience~!
