This was such a lovely store to stop into while walking up and down Alberta. My partner and I…read morehappened to stop in on a weekend where they were holding a major sale, so there was a ton of stuff on clearance as an added bonus. The store itself is cute and cozy. I would warn folks that it is very tight navigating in places-- I am petite and still felt a little claustrophobic. A lot of that is likely the crowds on sale day, but isles are narrow and there are a few places where you can get "trapped" if other customers don't see you standing behind. I absolutely love stationary, and this place scratched my letter-writing itch. I ended up picking out a couple of sets of cards + envelopes to add to my collection. These are BEAUTIFUL and well made. Prices were reasonable, and the clearance items were an absolute steal. The staff were super friendly and attentive and they seemed to be doing a good job keeping everything in order even though there were a lot of people here.

Definitely stop here before going Michael's. Support local…read moreWonderful spot for art supplies. I didn't find the oil paints but tons of great prices on brushes and painting materials/utensils. It's a great place with inspiring art supplies in NE Portland.

I love you, SCRAP PDX! It's a wonderful feeling to just walk through the doors, knowing you'll be…read moreamong creatives of all kinds, knowing you'll find some treasure you needed for that project you've been working on, then finding another little thing that sparked an idea of something to make, then making your way to the counter to pay, then leaving by the door you came in, hurrying to get home so you can get back to your project and maybe even start another one. SCRAP is a boost to the imagination in ways one can only imagine (hehe), all the while helping the environment by keeping stuff out of landfills. It's a great place to donate all those things you thought you were gonna use for something or other but never got around to it and now don't want to do it. I found some watercolor tubes I'd been wanting to try out - one almost-full tube had a $20 price tag still on it - I paid $4! I'd go every week if I lived closer... you just never know what someone's gonna be donating.

I adore this little gift shop, mostly for the service it provides to the seniors at the Hollywood…read moreSenior Center. The gift shop helps support local senior crafters who sell their handcrafted items on consignment. It also benefits the center's programs and services through the sale of items donated to the store. There is a completely random selection of merchandise such as scarves, hats, aprons, baby clothes and toys, household items, small appliances, books and more. And the best part is the prices! It's not uncommon to find dishes and candle holders for 0.10 cents, or books for 0.25 cents. The handcrafted items run the gamut in pricing, but it all goes to a good cause. I'm committed to doing what I can to help seniors in my community, so shopping here and donating items for them to sell is the least I can do. But mostly, it's fun gossiping with the senior volunteers who run the store.

When booking, you can choose the length of your reservation, ranging from one to two hours but to be honest, I always feel like I need more time lol. Once you're there, you'll be able to browse a huge selection of items to paint, from bowls and plates to cups and animal figurines, I'm sure something will catch your eye. They offer a great variety of paints and tools, and if you have any questions, the staff is more than happy to help. Overall, I really enjoy the experience!! It's one of my favorite activity to do and relaxing way to spend time, whether you're alone or with friends and family. Definitely a good spot to hang out!!

Located on a cute section of Fremont, there are only two parking spots out front with additional free street parking nearby. Though it's a small shop, visibility to the customer area in the front isn't great, so sometimes when they're busy they don't see you right away and you have to speak up. They've been quick to respond to emails, and have a decent turnaround time regularly, with the option for a ~$25 rush fee for same-day printing. Automatic notifications go out when your order is ready for pickup. Quality has been good on the color flyers and postcards I've had printed, and I'll be looking to do a few poster boards soon so I'm hopeful those will turn out great.
