My husband and I visited Orcas island for our honeymoon in October of this year. We stopped in this shop while walking around originally looking for a hat, but found so much more. I treated myself to a couple of the necklaces the owner made (they are stunning and I still wear them a ton and always get compliments when I do). We got to talking and she gave us lots of recommendations for restaurants and activities on the island, which we followed and I'm so happy we did! Everything was perfect – overall, I have nothing but great things to say about this shop and the owner! 10/10 would recommend :)

As soon as we drove by this place during our 4-day visit in late July, I wanted to go in! Love places like this where one can seek out unique treasures to remember their trip by! My husband and I found a great t-shirt gift for his dad. I do not want share too many details publicly on the sweet exchange I had with the kind and real lady behind the counter, as some moments are better left private and sacred from the internet. Will never forget how wonderful she made me feel with her compliment.

Really wanted to get a couple of souvenirs from here, but the lady working was super rude from the moment we walked in. Yelled at us to use sanitizer, as we were already putting some on. Told my husband that they have “big boy sizes”, which was super insulting. As we were leaving after that comment she was yelling at a family that they couldn’t come in with their baby. Sad to lose business from multiple people so quickly

This store is one of the absolute best on Orcas! So!, To the very rude and disrespectful customers that walked into this store, I have to say that when a person doesn’t want to comply with the rules of a store they try to make it about something else! So Not okay. How about you just follow the rules of the establishment you are in or just leave. Get off your high horse and realize that you’re not the center of the universe and you like everyone else need to be polite and respect the places you enter and the people and things within that establishment! You don’t get to be abusive to our island business owners nor our locals! Stay home if you don’t have any home training!

My daughter and I love this store. It's our first stop everytime we come to the island, and it's easy to lose an hour or two just looking at EVERYTHING!! I always enjoy talking to the owners and watching them create beautiful things.Like everywhere on Orcas, the covid rules are posted and sanitizer is available. I'm always surprised this is so hard for some to grasp, but as a survivor I'm glad it's here, and everywhere on the island. Shop on and stay safe!!

So you have two signs at the door that say no drinks? Maybe make the signs actually visible and legible, i mentioned this to you after I witness an interaction between you and a person of color and you actually ask her to leave her privilege at the door?! Mmm you’re rude and as a white person you have no space to talk about privilege. It seems like a lot of lovely people come to the store and hate the way you treat them, you claim to be a small business and people don’t show support but maybe build a little sense of community starting at your workplace, CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE and don’t talk to POC like that, PERIOD.Edit: YOUR ISLAND?!!! Lmao you are a rude privileged white woman, have your friends come and talk on your behalf, I think reviews speak for themselves 🤣 you’re rude and need to learn some customer service experience and history as well… your island 🤦🏻‍♀️ I could never be a karen cause I’m not you 😮‍💨Also let me say that EVERY OTHER BUSINESS THAT WE VISIT WAS AMAZING!

I ordered the most wonderful necklace and earrings from this shop. They arrived quickly and were beautifully wrapped. I highly recommend this shop as the owners are the artists and really care about the art and their customers.

Absolutely one of the rudest places I've ever been into. Very surprised this lady is still in business. We own and have owned several businesses in a small resort town and would have never treated customers the way she does. Covid or no covid. Orcas arts should just do themselves and everyone else a favor and close their doors for good

Erica fixed my grandmothers pearls impecably! I cant believe how strong they are, and i can now wear them fearlessly. I came into her shop with 4 broken, sad strands. Each is stronger than the day I got them, Raving review for her attention to detail and finding unique clasps for each one.Came back the next week with my husband to pick out a timeless pair of earrings to celebrate our anniversary. Outstanding selection of one-of-a-kind jewelry, and a great price on my new bling.Highly recommend.

This is one of my favorite shops on the island. Fun fossils, rocks, jewelry, t-shirts, beads, etc. The owners are knowledgeable and kind. I’m comfortable going in because they enforce the COVID regulations.

Orcas Arts is fantastic. Erica is super knowledgeable and helpful. She made a special sea glass bead for my mom's birthday. She has a wonderful shop that is my go to for special family gifts.

I haven’t been on island in two years! This will be one of the first places I will stop and shop this summer. The proprietor is a fascinating woman and chatting with her is always delightful. Thanks.

Great shop in the heart of Eastsound on Orcas. There are so many hidden treasures in this store. They have handmade jelwery, art pieces for home decore, nodical themed clothing, and much more. There is really something for everyone.DISCLOSURE: I advise you to walk more than 3 feet in the store to see everything this shop has to offer. The back of the shop is where one might find the hidden treasures.DISCLOSURE FOR DOG LOVERS: There’s a chance you’ll be formally greeted my one of the owners furry four-legged friends. <3

Lots of very nice things here. And most are unique only to orcas island. If you pass it still in and look.

So many beautiful choices! Many are made by the owners, a silversmith and a goldsmith. Definitely take a moment to check out all they have to offer.

The worse customer service I have ever experienced, never would buy from this place as the owner told us thanks but no thanks as we left her shoulder to shoulder packed store, zero distancing and a rude person to boot. Good luck with your dollar store inflated prices.

Yes, the owner is a real life Karen! Considering that small businesses are closing nationwide, you might want to consider treating your customers with a little more respect!
