Female shop owner watched me the entire time and then proceeded to trail me around the store.I tried to excuse her and say things to suggest I didn’t need any assistance ( giving her some benefit of the doubt), but she continued to stay near me and not walk away. She never asked if I needed or wanted help, she merely intruded the entire time. This is not the kind of thing that bodes well as a POC and it’s shady vibes. The male shop owner was pleasant and welcoming, but her presence was very unwelcoming and aggressive. The items we did get a chance to view before being intruded upon were interesting and certainly could have been a fun shopping experience for tchotchkes and what nots, but the store is only as good as it’s energy of its owners/curators/staff. Not Chicago Approved!

I have lived in the neighborhood since 2018 and only discovered this lovely gem of a store about a month ago when I had to pick up a UPS package. The store is full of great and unique items. I feel as if you could find a gift for even the hardest person to shop for at this store. I again had to go the store today for another package and I was able to interact with the owners who are lovely, lovely people. Both were lovely to talk to and I also found some more great items for myself and for someone else. I will definitely be adding this to my rotation of shops I frequent for the holidays and for fun.

Delightful! The owners are incredibly passionate about what they do, both as artists and curators of the shop. They knew the story behind every artist and were enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge. It's refreshing to find a place with actually-handmade, special goods that you won't find in every little keepsake shop. We only picked up a few things in person as out-of-towners, but we're glad to know that the gallery ships, too. An excellent place to find something unique for any of your loved ones.

So there were a lot of cool things to look at in this store. My wife and I just wanted to browse about but were followed around the store by one of the owners. She felt like she had to explain everything that we were looking at. I know she thought she was being helpful, but it was really annoying when we just wanted to look around. We almost felt as if she thought we were going to steal something. Basically, we got chased out of the store by her paying too much attention to us.

This store is an absolute treasure. They have an amazing collection of handcrafted items from around the world, and I spotted some original pieces from the owners. The wooden banded watches and country poster were my favorite pieces. The best thing about the store is the husband and wife owners. They are clearly passionate about the work of the artisans in their shop, and they have thought about all the details. If I weren't from out of town, I would be a regular.

The owner followed my husband and I around the store the whole time, explaining each thing we were looking at without us even asking about it. Sometimes interrupting us while we were talking about it or reaching in front of me to pick something up to explain it. One time she took something from my hand to explain where it came from. She was constantly invading my space and didn't allow us to just look at what was in the shop. Made us very uncomfortable.

Pray your Amazon packages don't end up here via UPS. This should not be a UPS drop off for packages if the driver can't deliver. This business doesn't have acceptable hours to be in a position as a pick up destination to offer any easy access with their business hours. It's a disservice to Amazon customers. Some cracker box gift store right in the middle of 23rd with poor hours shouldn't be part of any Amazon buying experience.

Incredible. Everything about this place is truly and wonderfully incredible!!! When you walk in, it's as if you're entering a perfect haven for all things peculiar and beautiful!! Every item in the store invites you to wonder and marvel at its uniqueness. Above all else, the personal touch of Steve and Constance is evident in every detail. Honestly, awe-inspiring.

Found this store walking around looking for a present for the wife. Now it's my go to place for whenever I need a gift for something that is usable, practical and artistic. Can't find another store that has the stuff they have. Most of it is small batch things that well crafted. Also the owners... Super nice and always helpful. Local businesses for the win!

A hidden gem on NW 23rd with a wide variety of quality handcrafted items from around the world. You really have explore it yourself to appreciate the range of items. The owners are happy to show and explain the backstory on anything that catches your eye. It is my go to for special gifts and excellent greeting cards by local artists at a great price.

Beautiful shop full of unique items. Owners are incredibly thoughtful and even bring a sense of philanthropy in what they stock, supporting artists and people in need from all over the world. Not only that, but everything is incredibly fairly priced compared to similar shops in the area. LOVE this spot. Truly a gem in PDX.

This shop is filled with so many unique and beautiful things to fill your imagination and home. An excellent place to find special gifts for the holidays. Owned by talented artists with huge hearts and a palpable healing presence. A very special place, not just on 23rd, but for Portland at large.

I felt like I’d discovered a hidden gem when I first walked in. The owners are so kind and lovely. A lot of goodies in the store support humanitarian causes and/or are locally sourced. Would definitely recommend!

This place is my favorite. So many different artists and creators showing their work in one place! Very reasonable prices and the owners are so lovely. This place is where I go for unique gifts for everyone

This is a jewel of a store where you can find so many different kinds of artistic items, that would be joyful to own or give as gifts. The employees are wonderful people.
