Just an ode to some of our most popular candles and matches! 🕯✨ Many of these are why our shop smells SO good when you walk in. 🥰

Dad cards just dropped! 💫🏆 Father’s Day is June 18th, so stop by soon to snag a sweet little card to tell your Father figure just how much they mean to you ♥️

We have a few “Dad” specific cards, but we are big fans of cards that simply say “thank you” and “I love you” for occasions like this. All of our cards are blank inside, so you can write your own heartfelt, personal message. Your own words are SO much more meaningful than anything a greeting card company could say for you!

🍷 Summer Sip & Shop Vendor Spotlight! 🌹 @Sequoiaartsshop is a ceramics line produced by Tiahna Williams. She comes to our event highly recommended by our pals at @Thicketpdx! Tiahna’s work features a Mother Nature forward aesthetic, boasting hand sculpted textural patterns from barnacles to morels, as well as hand-drawn details, all adorning fully-functionally wood-fired vessels that are ready to elevate daily tasks to ritual status. Catch her popping up at the shop this Thursday June 1 from 5-8pm! Find inspiration in Tiahna’s earthy, witchy small batch pieces and take one home with you 🦉⁠

🍷 Summer Sip & Shop Vendor Spotlight! 🌹 ⁠
⁠
@faded.era is the floral studio of Sarah Rose. Sarah's soft, vintage-inspired aesthetic feels like a later afternoon walk through a coastal forest shrouded in a hazy marine layer, or a roadside pit stop to forage wildflowers from a particularly lush backwoods slope.⁠
⁠
Always sustainable, seasonal and local first, she will be bringing fresh cut blooms, everlasting dried bouquets, and dried wreaths and garlands to our June 1st pop up. Stop by to chat with her about all things flowers and pair one of her bouquets with a vase from Porch Light! 🌸⁠

🍷 Summer Sip & Shop Vendor Spotlight! 🌹 We’ve been carrying @portlandsyrups drink mixers for sometime, and we’re so excited to give you a chance to sample their wares! We'll be mixing up a summery Marionberry mocktail for you to sample at our June 1st event from 5-8pm. Focusing on spotlighting some of our favorite local pop-up vendors and makers, Portland Syrups comes to our event as a staff go-to. Are there any other flavors you’d be most interested in trying out? Comment below with your ideas to help us craft a menu! 🍹⁠

⁠
Our Sip & Shop pop up is next Thursday, June 1 from 5-8pm. This week, we want to show off our vendors! First up we have @eviltwingems ✨⁠⁠
⁠
Evil Twin Gems is a nostalgic jewelry line that reminds us of hours spent as kids stringing beads onto stacks and stacks of elastic. Evil Twin has perfected those hours of play into highly sophisticated, wearable baubles that center gold-plated charms and semi-precious stones.

At our evening pop up, you’ll be able to shop their playful earrings or even create your own perfect custom pair! Choose from their wide variety of beautiful charms and posts and make whatever combo you desire 💎 ⁠

We love making a statement with handmade jewelry, especially these cantaloupe-pink earrings from Clouds and Ladders. Humble enough for everyday wear, but with a hint of boldness.
