If I hadn't been traveling/limited on luggage space, I would have bought more! This shop was inspiring though, and I'll have to see about ordering some of these items online. The value of the items was good/fair and the people working were nice. I did walk out with a gift for a family member that I think they'll like. I would recommend taking a peak inside if you're in the neighborhood!

This place specializes in salt, and had popcorn available to try with their seasoning blends! There were also flowers for purchase too, a little bit of everything here honestly. The popcorn was very tasty with the seasoning they had on it! I've never seen so many unique chocolate bars in one space! It was a library of bars instead of books, each section separated by type of chocolate! I ended up purchasing a few of the truffles and one The Meadows chocolate bars that was popular called Bagel Milk chocolate. The truffles were delicious! I would definitely recommend taking a look inside this shop if you're nearby.

They've got a table full of freshly grown flowers, shelves upon shelves of ingredients and pantry staples. And, perhaps most importantly, an entire wall of locally made or direct retail chocolate bars. Staff was kind and when the price rang up for less than what was listed on the tag, they gave the lower option. The goods aren't cheap, but you can tell that thought was put into their curation and sourcing.

This is all I am going to say fellow Yelpers... This Cutlery Shop is BADASS…read more Customer Service was simply the best... had a extensive collection of vintage cutlery and kitchen paraphernalia. David even had a great sense of humor and also recommend some good local eateries which I tried and now recommend to others. If you need your knives sharpened or just need to buy another knife to add to your collection then Hawthorne Cutlery is your spot. So let it be written... So let it be Sharpened.

Third time I have tried to go here during their "hours of operation". Doesn't answer phone, doesn't…read morereturn messages, apparently never there. Very frustrating. Apparently the place is cool but has thus far wasted a combined hour of my time driving here trying to actually shop. I have money to spend, how do places like this survive? Don't bother calling to see if they're open, they're not, they don't answer if they are. Update: Received a call back. Immediately hung up on me with a very surly "forget it" before I could adjust my volume. Why the fuck would I give this asshole a penny? Rude to his customers, doesn't seem care about his shop, disrespectful of your time. Is this just a retired hobbyist who fucks around in his knife shop when he feels like it? What a joke. Also seen other reviews now saying this guy has made creepy comments on women's bodies. Glad I didn't end up coming here, would have brought a female friend.

With so many bazaars, night markets and craft fairs, especially during the holidays, the Portland…read moreBazaar really stands out for me based on the quality of merchandise and the way the vendors style and display their wares. This weekend the Portland Bazaar returned for its 9th year and as one would expect, it was crowded! But totally manageable. The space is bright and airy with lots of natural light. The variety of vendors and merchandise is impressive making it easy to find unique and meaningful gifts or something for yourself! There were several jewelry artists with unique and creative styles that I haven't seen elsewhere. I love jewelry and prefer to wear pieces that are individual and not mass produced. That's exactly what was showcased here. There were a few pottery vendors and my favorite, Pigeon Toe Ceramics, had a stunning display of serene, classic mid-century modern pieces. There was the normal coffee mugs and bowls, but what really stood out were the unique gravy pitchers, tiny creamers and soap trays. The colors were soft muted pastels and so soothing to the eye. I wanted everything on the table! Of course there were lots of alcoholic offerings and accompaniments: tea infused spirits by Townshend's Distillery; Portland Spirits was there with their amazing syrups, a much better alternative to soda and mixers (highly recommend the spicy ginger for killer Moscow Mules); pear infused vodka from Wild Roots, to name a few. And then there was Wild CBD, always the most crowded booth in this day of all things CBD. Les Tablettes de Chocolate had inventive bars loaded with fruits, nuts, herbs and spices in my favorite, dark chocolate. Their toffee was incredible. The presentation is beautiful and the taste superb. Baked goods were also available from several small batch bakers. One of the craftsman, Hew, had the most beautiful handcrafted bowls, containers, plates and utensils made from wood. So natural, simple - but hard to make - and incredibly gorgeous. They even had an area set up where kids could make hand painted ornaments, inspiring future crafters! Perusing the wares, marveling at the craftsmanship, selecting the perfect gifts and scoring spicy ginger syrup was a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Definitely make a point to come next year! They always post on Facebook when they have a show. The merchandise is special and high quality.
