pdx boutiques

 the crafty wonderland super colossal holiday sale was really fun-  it's too bad that the weather put such a damper on things!  it was great to see some of my favorite portland crafters: luckylooloo, rubygirl, studio acorn, urbana, scrumptious suds, loot, salmon st. studio, curlygirlglass,and more- with a huge thank you to cathy and torie, as always!

i bought lovely gifts from steel toe studio (above)and coqu usagiuma maho (below).

 i was planning to do one last holiday sale- the 2nd annual winter solstice sale at PSU (which was cancelled).  

looks like i'll be making a circuit of boutiques around town to buy my last minutes gifts! (i.e. all of them)

i'm hoping to find the time to visit some of my favorite shops around town, for gifts, covetous window shopping, and general retail-appreciation:  redux, seaplane, olio united, pistils nursery, pin me apparel, ella's boutique, robot piercing, gilt,  foundation garments, chapter four,  powells books, mirador, andy & bax,  grasshopper, thinker toys, switch, and more...

looking forward to exploring the city a bit!  i've been spending too much (yet not enough!) time at my bench!
