About

The Real Mother Goose has been an online fine American craft gallery featuring hundreds of American artists’ creations, including handcrafted jewelry, art glass, ceramics, and exotic wood creations.

The Real Mother Goose has been supporting American Craft for nearly 50 years. The central focus of owners has been their commitment to building relationships with customers and with the artists represented in the store. In 1971, the first Mother Goose store was opened in downtown Vancouver, Washington. Over the next 20 years they expanded to Washington square, downtown Portland and the Portland International Airport.

In both 1997 & 1998 NICHE magazine's poll of over 20,000 professional craft artists named The Real Mother Goose the nation's top craft retailer on the basis of its courteous and respectful treatment of artists, its extensive promotion and marketing of American crafts, and the time and energy it invests in supporting the craft community and mentoring emerging artists.

In 2017, the flagship store in downtown Portland closed, and in 2021 the Portland International Airport location closed and became an online store only.

And now the time has come to end this grand adventure and close down for good.
