Yes, I'm giving Viand five stars - mainly because I can come here and I'll always find something…read moreunique for a gifting or decor need. Viand does not disappoint! I did not know I needed a purple faux jaguar carpet throw until I discovered it one day and now my entryway is complete. This is a charming store full of very interesting and eye-catching items for your home - or a gift for someone who appreciates quality. Excellent service, and while the prices can be high, the quality does in fact make them worthwhile. Viand doesn't carry goods you purchase and toss in a few years, these are new friends that will stay in your life for a long, long time.

Viand is a wonderful high-end home decor (and trinkets) store. Their selection is very thoughtfully…read morecurated, and is a great mix of trendy and timeless. Everything is extremely high quality, and I believe local artists are supported by Viand. The workers are professional, sweet, and chic. My one qualm is that it is very pricey and I often don't find anything that fits my taste, despite the store being filled with wonderful finds. Worth a look for sure!

My friend found this store on TikTok and as a lover of fun home items and whimsy we needed to stop…read morein! The mini print machine is such a fun concept. I believe the artist is local and we saw one other print machine at the Warby Parker but it looks like a different variety. There are so many cute greeting cards, matches, perfumes, candles, etc and it was all so tempting! I left with one mini print (the cashiers will trade you for quarters, super helpful) and some perfume! If you're looking to do some fun shopping in Portland this store is definitely worth a stop.

I found my way into Cowbwebs on a hot July day and immediately wanted to leave…read more I stayed as long as I could in order not to be rude, but the air was dead still in there, and it smelled awful. Not just like antiques. Awful. The woman behind the counter was talkative in a bad way. I relish friendly conversation when visiting shops. It's one of my favorite things about visiting stores! But this woman just kept asking questions, one after the other, the entire time I was there. I tried to make it clear with body language that I was just interested in browsing, but she kept on coming with the questions. It was more of an interrogation than a dialog. Merchandise wise, I saw nothing of value. Everything was sort of just stacked in dusty piles. There were none of the, "Oooooh, look at that! What a cool thing!" moments that you want when visiting an antiques or thrift-type shop. Maybe there's some hidden treasure in there, but for me it wasn't worth the dig.

I found her to be very friendly and talked about our hometowns.  I bought a vintage hobnail tea light holder and a Little Tikes solid wood table and chair set.  The price for the candle holder was the going rate.  The price I got for the table and chairs was fantastic!!!! The location is great.  There is LBKitchen a few doors down.  A really old cemetery across the street and a bookstore next door.
