Wicker Ways Not Changing
St. Helens Retail Store Changes Owners, Not Style

It all started when Jackie Freeburn began "doing basket parties from her car," 17 years ago.She has since opened a retail store in St. Helens called Wicker Wonders, now located at 2017 Columbia Boulevard, just down the street from the St. Helens-Scappoose Chamber of Commerce.
In the meantime, Ginni Davis had grown up in her family's department store in Yakima, Washington. Ginni is well familiar with the Oregon Coast, having been a resident of Seaside and visiting the family home in Cannon Beach. She began shopping at Wicker Wonders 12 years ago when she relocated to Scappoose.
Just last month, Jackie retired and Ginni took over as the new proprietor of Wicker Wonders. Though her background is in retail, "I have been a secretary for 18 years and am starting all over again," she said.
In addition to Ginni, Wicker Wonders has two part-time staffers and 2,000 square feet of showroom and storage space filled with goodies. "I want to emphasize the quality of the gifts will stay special and unique," said Ginni.
Items include Yankee candles, Margaret Furlong angels, Dept. 56 snow babies and lighted villages, Hearthstone pottery, Backsplash pottery, Time Works clocks, the Times Ltd. bath products and many many more lines.
Gift certificates are available, and the store will be open 7 days during holiday seasons. LCB
