Among the best... but you knew that.

We are thrilled to be named one of the "10 favorite local shops in the Pearl District" by Oregonlive.com!  We feel like we're in pretty good company to be sharing the limelight with institutions such as Powell's Books as well as a few of our besties: Jo Carter at Physical Element and Tiffany Bean at Mabel and Zora.  Who else do they recommend? Everyday Music, Halo Shoes, and our (almost) neighbors Oblation to name a new.  See the complete article here.  Or skip to the part about your favorite store offering local designs by Erica Lurie and Michelle Lesniak here.

Who would we add to the list? Visage Eyewear and Optometrist, Orox, handcrafted leather goods and Popina, vintage inspired swimwear.  And if they included restaurants?  Mediterranean Exploration Company and Oven and Shaker (you HAVE to get the kale salad).  

The Pearl is a pretty special place (and worth the occasional parking difficulties).  So if you haven't been for a while, we, along with the Oregonian, suggest you come see the best that Portland has to offer.

Many thanks to Anna Marum and Oregon Live for the recognition!
