Both of my pieces are exactly what I wanted and both artists really listened and helped me with placement. I spent more time with Karl and he is my favorite person who has tattooed me.

Even if you're not looking to get a tattoo the shop itself is full of fun stuff and Karl's collection of VHS tapes are always playing. Great movie selection. Love this place.

Definitely unique Portland fun stuff to buy from local artists.

What caught my attention and drew me in was the absolutely stunning textured scarf in the window in several shades of aqua, teal, and a bit of lavendar. Reminded me of the colors of the sea, which is always what appeals to me. As I wondered in, I was impressed with the variety. Ceramic wall clocks, some shaped like the beloved VW van, handmade jewelry, watercolors, oils, postcards, canvas, framed prints, textiles - basically something for everyone, including prices.

He mentioned he wants to visit Portland with us next time and I concur. Worth a visit due to the unique items, cleanliness, and welcoming vibes. Keeping Portland weird, yet interesting!

While I didn't purchase anything form the store, it is cute and if you are looking for local unique (both fun and practical) items as gift for someone while visiting Portland or a gift to bring back home to someone or to ship something from home, this is a great little store. They have a number of Pacific North West, Oregon and National Park themed items available. They had pillows, games, books, candles, glasses and a variety of adult and PNW branded children / babies clothes as well. What I found most appealing was the local card and unique wrapping paper section, which I will definitely come back, browse and purchase from myself. Oh - I am also a fan of stickers and they had the best selection I've seen here in Portland to date! After I did a bit more research on the store when I got home, I discovered that the store was named after the owners two (2) rescue dogs ~ "they represent to use that essence of comfortable den home, not too fussy and full of life!" I am a huge rescue dog fan and this made me smile and have even a great affinity for making recommendations to friends, near or far, to check them out. The website describes the store as "the ideal shop should offer unique nad well-designed products at affordable prices - in an inviting, approachable, relaxed atmosphere.."

Many of their items are tropical themed, but not all, and they have a variety of items to appeal to all ages and budgets.

The lady working there (possibly the owner?) was very nice and helpful.

The vast variety of items they have amassed is impressive, and the way everything is playfully displayed is sensory overload! In a good way. Wandered in on a sunny afternoon with zero expectations and stayed a good 20 minutes making several laps around the store. In the center is a large tree structure adorned with dozens of adorable cat stuffed animals, with leaves made of huge paper globes in rich teals and purples, and hanging flower lanterns. The walls are filled with cat pictures, many original art from local artists. in fact, many of the items in the store are made locally. They even conduct workshops where you can make some of them, like the hanging flower lanterns. There are notebooks, hair clips that look like a cat, figurines, keychains, scarves, tote bags, and various purses, wallets and crossbody bags. For the kitchen there are bottle openers, coctail stirrers, coffee mugs and the cutest cat spoons that hang into the mug. Yep, bought a silver one! The art - various paintings, prints, note cards - is fun & whimsical. I loved the Purrmaid and the octopus with a cat head! So creative. The owner is delightful. She and the other owners created an inspiring space that encourages one to browse and marvel, and lets you do just that without any pressure. I told her how much I loved the shop and made a point to say, it's not just for crazy cat ladies. And then pondered over that terminology when people who have dogs, and won't go anywhere without them, are not called crazy dog ladies. She loved that perspective. Loving cats sometimes gets a bad wrap, but in this shop, crazy cat ladies, cat lovers, or anyone who appreciates creative art and gifts are welcome and can find enjoyment. I left with my new cat spoon and a tortoise shell cat clip for my hair, which I proudly wore that night!
