While on a trip to Portland, OR, I came across Paxton Gate. This shop was very interesting. It had…read moretons of wonderful items for those who are into the metaphysical, taxidermy or just interestingly unique items. The woman working the checkout counter was very warm and friendly. It is a must-go-to store when visiting Portland.

I've never seen such an extensive collection of beautiful & rare oddities - It brought me to…read moreexcited tears! Plants, crystals, bones, teeth, taxidermy, bugs, books, jewelry, apparel, prints, DIY kits, feathers, & more. Some of my favorite pieces were: - The peacock taxidermy - The giraffe taxidermy - The deer jawbone (she came home with me) - The black scorpion preserved in resin (she also came home with me) - The stag beetle preserved in resin (... she came home with me too) - The rat snake preserved in liquid (she will come home with me someday) - The badger skull - The scorpion earrings by Theeth - The "Crap Taxidermy" book The staff was incredible helpful, too. They were eager to tell me more about pieces, show me things in cases, & even wrap my purchases beautifully. Some of the pieces in Paxton Gate were incredibly expensive, but still, they were priced properly. The giraffe taxidermy was $7,500. That makes sense. Some of the other items, however, I couldn't believe at how low the prices were. The deer jaw bone was $14, the black scorpion was $25, & the stag beetle was $18. What a deal! I highly recommend stopping in to this shop if you have a penchant for the macabre, like me. Fun fact: I found all four animals tattooed on me (rat snake, stag beetle, honeybee, badger) in this store.

She felt at ease and that was the key for us! Billywas our guy and made my kid laugh and explained the process & the backstory of Sod Pop being from the movie The Outsiders. It was a cool moment as my daughter loves the movie and was proud of her knowledge of the classics in that moment! He took his time and didn't try to mansplain or dadsplain it... Just the facts Jack! We are from Hawaii and he of course has a connect at Honolulu Piercing here that we could head to with any issues but she will be back in PDX in Oct and will head back in to see Billy and upgrade her jewelry then! 9 weeks in at this point and no issues! They are perfectly centered and make her feel beautiful! Well done Soda Pop and crew! Well worth the money to set this kid on the path to finding and trusting the right people to beautify her body in her own way

Their website says: "If Portland is a museum of street art, then this store is that museum's gift shop." Meaning they aim to feature products from local artists.

This is somewhere I'd suggest Portland tourists come, or locals looking for holiday stocking stuffers and gifts.

After breakfast at Gravy, across the street, I was…read morefeeling a bit in need of retail therapy and Flutter was the PERFECT spot to explore, oooo, aaahhhh, and enjoy. They have everything from motivational/call to action buttons, kids toys, cute clothes, retro items, lovely hand creams, candles and soaps, to gag gifts, unique personality gifts, souvenirs, postcards from places you know and vintage photos of people you don't! The 80's teen in me gravitated to the oodles and oodles of small pins either a pic of a music icon, or a statement of personal belief. They also have a LOT of locally crafted items and I found a great pair of simple, cute, affordable earrings. Hubs picked up a few stickers and post cards. If you need a gift for birthday, hostess, because YOU deserve a smile for yourself, or just because an item made you think of someone you like, Flutter is THE place to find a little something to make your heart...well...the name says it all.
