Wy'East Shopping
Wy'east Book Shoppe & Art Gallery
- A Place to Linger
Relax with a cup of Strand Tea while shopping for books and local art at Wy’east Book Shoppe & Art Gallery in Welches.
The Wy'east Book Shoppe & Art Gallery offers a varied and unexpected mix of new books and original artwork in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. You can browse through your book selection with soft music playing in the background, while sitting in comfortable, rustic hand-made log furniture in front of a roaring fire in the fireplace.
Just in time for holiday shopping you will be pleasantly surprised by the wonderful artwork, all created by local craftsmen and artisans. Watercolors, photography, oil paintings, pastels, woodturnings, sculptures, ceramics, screen prints, jewelry, glass art, candles, and more await Mt Hood shoppers.
The shop also offers a full-service computer center (located in the mezzanine above the store) for out-of towners who want to check their email, get a bit of work done or even create their own holiday cards. The center offers four up-to-date computer workstations with printers, flat screen monitors, scanners, and a large worktable for projects. For those with a laptop, WiFi Internet service is free, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The shop can also ship your purchases home for you from their Shipping Center via UPS or FedEx.
Artist visits, book signings and fireside chats are frequent events at the Wy'east Book Shoppe and Art Gallery. Check www.wyeast-online.com for the event schedule and be sure to plan some time for unhurried book browsing and art shopping while visiting Mt Hood.
