Fantastic shop with locally made goods, vintage finds, gourmet food stuff, local wine & ciders & beer - I never leave empty-handed 🙂

There is a sign proudly displayed along highway 18, enticing tourists to visit and "dine, shop, stay," in Willamina. It has frequently been the source of a good chuckle for my husband and myself, as Willamina is not exactly what you'd call a tourist town. It is comprised of a single hotel, three restaurants, and as far a shopping goes? Well, up until recently I would have told you a thrift store and small-town stand-by Dollar General were your only options.Alas, I would have been wrong as this itty bitty town affords a most charming shopping experience in the form of Willamina Merchants! They tout half locally made goods and crafts, half vintage treasures, plus annuals, perennials, and houseplants as seasonally available. Oh, lots of wine and cider, too! This is truly the sort of store that you never know what you'll find, thus I end up here at least once a month if not more.A couple of my favorite finds? A hand-thrown mushroom mug, planters with small crystal wands attached, charcoal tooth powder, Albatross razors and blades, framed vintage embroidery, Missionary chocolates, a chicken oil painting, Jacobsen salts, 1950's party dresses, and stained-glass ornaments.Parking is only available on the street, but as this is Willamina, that will pose no trouble unless it is Independence Day (y'all, they don't mess around when it comes to the Fourth 'round these parts!). Employees (who are actually makers that take turns running the store - so cool!) are always helpful and friendly, and prices are excellent. Come support local artisans and see what treasures you can discover!

Love this store, have gotten many great items including a Effie Tower lamp that sadly ended up broken but the owner Katie offered to fix, always a friendly store stop in and look around,

Great place to find antiques and they carry jewelry and other stuff made by local artists as well. Love this local store.
