A favorite, fun little boutique in Sisters for over 25 years. Ear Expressions carries nearly 100 lines of fashion jewelry, earrings, hair clips, accessories and fun gifts for all ages. We have long time favorites like Silver Forest, Holly Yashi and Firefly, and soon-to-be favorites you may not see anywhere else, including local artists and micro-business craftspeople. Our customers include loyal locals, and folks who come through on their way through town, who tell us, “This is the one place we have to stop when we drive through Sisters!” We’ve been around long enough to see little girls who got their first earrings here, grow up and bring their own daughters in for their first earrings! Pretty special. We will always strive to offer the selection and service that earns that kind of love! It’s what makes it all worthwhile.
