We are going to be taking a motorcycle trip along the Oregon coast from Seattle area the end of August and was wondering if there were any
*fabulous* stamp stores I don't want to pass up. Not sure where we'll be staying. Suggestions there would be greatly appreciated also!TIA Sandi
Hm. My work takes me over to the coast 4-5 times a month (poor me!) and I haven't stumbled onto any stamp stores at all, much less any fabulous ones.
OM Studio is (or was) in Seaside, but as far as I know they're mail order only and don't have a retail outlet. You could try writing them at
OM Studio PO Box 448 Seaside OR 97138
to find out. Their stamps are wonderful if you like quirky, edgy and non-cute.
Canyon Way Bookstore and Restaurant in Newport used to carry a small but interesting line of stamps, and they're worth visiting if you love quirky bookstore/gift stores, especially if you make lunch or dinner reservations at the incredible attached restaurant.
Have fun! Don't miss the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, right down the road from the Oregon Coast Aquarium. The latter is great, but spendy; the HMSC is free, and pretty cool if you're at all interested in marine science. Watching them feed the octopus is always fun...

HI ,
When my husband and I attended a wedding in March we came across this rubber stamp store. Ok I admit it, I did a websearch ahead of time in order to "just happen to come across it". :) Its pretty darn big . They also give you a 25% discount on one stamp if its your birthday or within one week either way of your birthday. They appear to be closed on Sundays.

Actually, we have a rule when we do bike trips (seem to be the only trips we get to take without little ones) - No major hiways. So we will probably meander down the Washington coast into Oregon. I sincerely doubt I could get the husband to make a detour to Portland for a *stamp store* buuutttttt.....since I have my own bike, I could run over by myself!! Thanks for the tips! Sandi
