A must stop shop for any visit to downtown Portland and lovers of the chicest, scrumptious candles…read more My top picks are "Botanica," "Synconia," "Oak Moss," and "Scarlett Rose." The owner Diana is one of the sweetest and funniest humans ever. Her husband Bryan is also very kind and friendly. It's always a pleasant visit to their storefront. Have loved supporting this business since the early days in the night markets! This is my go-to for purchasing the best smelling gifts or small trinkets/art for my friends and family. Need to also mention that ABW does a fabulous job at championing/collaborating with local artisans who reflect the diversity within the fabric of Portland's art culture--not only offering high quality products, but operating with great integrity and heart.

I bought the card and got creative by placing in a frame I got at a thrift store. I hope to be able to stop by next time I'm in the Portland area. We enjoyed our conversation with Diana.

Who doesn't love home decor and CLEAN burning candles that are made locally. In this case the…read morecandles are made right in house by Heather, the owner and curator of this beautiful space! I have long been a fan of the candles for their gorgeous scents that are always just right on par. The scents are so well thought out, all of the combinations, that you never have one scent that's over powering another. They just work well together and help your space to feel more welcoming. So as far as candies go, you can't go wrong with these. They are by far my favorite and I'm a "super smeller," so that means a lot for me to say. The rest of the store is curated with local merchants goods. Jewelry, blankets, coffee cups and water bottles, wool hats, caramels, chocolates...you name it, you can find a lovely gift there! I did quite a bit of Christmas shopping there since I'd rather infuse my locally earned money into our local economy and support local businesses. I'm so excited to gift these unique and special items. And of course I got myself a "High Desert," "Festive Forest," and "Cypress & Spruce" candle to bring home for my house. I love everything about this store at it feels like walking into a cozy home that's been appointed with everything you need to be cozy and happy. Don't waste your time, just go and do your holiday shopping there! And spoil yourself some too!!!

I went here for a candle-making session (by appointment only). There is a wide variety of scents…read moreyou can combine and choose from. There is a list of scents that are complimentary, and Leslie, the owner, is very knowledgeable with recommendations as she makes all of the scents herself. There is also a self-reflection component to the process. I used Blood orange chili and Ginger saffron and it smells so good! One downside: You can't take the candle with you right away because the wax has to set. Bonus: If you bring your jar back to make a new candle, you get $10 off!

I got there, and the rows were basically picked clean, and what was there was old, chalky, and tasted terrible. I went over to the blackberries, which is dumb, given their abundance everywhere. Nothing there that was good or ripe. I went in their cute little shop to see if I could find a manager, and I did see a man that had the air of being a manager, but I couldn't bring myself to pull him aside in front of everyone else having a good time, and say that I've been lied to and I didn't appreciate wasting three hours of my precious weekend. It's a shame because the farm itself is beautiful and very cute. There was goats and chickens and beautiful you pick flowers. Go to Hood River you picks for the rest of the season.

They have a wide variety of candies and gifts. They have cute mugs, candles, soaps, oils, bath salts, sprays, lotions, dried flowers, clothing, kitchen stuff, jewelry, bags and much more. You can find something for anyone in here! There are some nice, unique gifts. Employees were friendly and service was welcoming and helpful. Prices were average for a boutique shop. Parking can be challenging in this area as it's street parking only. Highly recommend.
