Heaven in a House – Madison Park AntiquesPosted by: naomi @ 12:35 am in featured shops, travel |
Are you sick of all the Portland posts yet? Well here’s one more.
Madison Park Antiques is a MUST VISIT. This store is a gorgeous, well edited collection of antiques, vintage home decor and various other ephemera. I noticed the small, discreet sign outside while walking around an area of Portland (I forget the name) filled with antique and vintage stores. Out of all of the shops on the block, this one definitely stood out – mainly because it was in a beautiful residential house rather than a store front.

The World’s Largest Bookstore – Powell’s BooksPosted by: ryan @ 12:39 am in books, travel |
For anyone who is a fan of books, Powell’s Books in Portland’s Pearl District is a must see . It’s so large it occupies one city block. On our recent trip to Portland we made a stop and left with a ton of books.

My First Experience at Voodoo DoughnutPosted by: ryan @ 1:51 am in food, travel |
On my trip to Oregon a few weeks ago, I stopped by a famous Portland destination – Voodoo Doughnut. The interior of the store is filled with vintage ephemera including concert posters, ads, toys and various other knick knacks. With donuts named “The Memphis Mafia”, “Dirty Snowball” and “Bacon Maple Bar” I couldn’t help but wonder what these bizarre donuts were like. Continue reading »

Vintage Finds: Yashica Electro GSN & MG-1Posted by: ryan @ 12:29 am in cameras & lenses, vintage finds |
A couple of weeks ago on my trip to Portland, I found myself hunting through a few Goodwill stores. At the back of one of the stores was a shelf piled high with old plastic 90’s film cameras and in the middle of it all I found two gems – a Yashica Electro GSN and a Yashica MG-1. At a whopping $8.99 each I had to pick them up. Continue reading »

Treasure Hunting: The Goodwill OutletPosted by: ryan @ 10:18 am in travel, vintage finds |
Last weekend, my family and I zipped down to Portland (again) for a quick shopping trip and while we were there, went to visit a Goodwill thrift store. In Vancouver, the equivalent would be The Salvation Army, or Value Village.

Vintage 1960s Adjust-O-Matic dress formPosted by: naomi @ 12:16 am in travel, vintage finds |
We’re back from Oregon and it was a fantastic weekend of art, culture, coastlines and antiquing. I wasn’t having much luck with the vintage/antique stores until Ryan came across this amazing, in-perfect-condition adjustable dress form. It was sitting in the corner of an antique mall in Newport, Oregon a few minutes away from the aquarium (which is amazing, btw – everyone should visit). I have the original box and instructional manual, although the stand is missing. Total cost: $35.00.

Hi everyone! We’re spending the weekend in Oregon: shopping in Portland, Maryhill Museum of Art, Pearl District and driving up the Oregon coast via Cannon Beach and of course, antiquing our butts off. Have a fun and fantastic weekend!
