How is it December?! As I was sipping my coffee this morning I was dreaming about all the things I would love to buy. Sally and I are still a shopping queens at heart, and it gave me an idea. It would be fun to highlight our 3 favorite LOCAL items each day until Christmas eve. Sally and I are both half jewish so for both of us, it’s a multi-holiday bonazza of both Hanukkah and Christmas (Chrismukkah), so we double down on all the gifting! Okay, enough about us and more about SHOPPING! Here are our picks for today.
These ceramic snakes are adorable decor. They look extra charming weaving around your potted plants or look splendid with an air plant nestled inside. Carter and Rose makes them in-shop and sells air plants as well. These snakes come in a ton of shapes, sizes and colors. $16.00
Cute Ceramic snake from Carter and Rose 3601 SE Division Street Portland, OR.
2. Pant dreams do come true…well almost all my dreams come true at The Yo Store. Packed with fun fashion, cute gifts, lovely books. This store is a must-stop if you’ve never been! These London designed pants inspired by French workwear are just…the best! Just looking at them makes me happy! $150 available in sizes 0-10.

3. Snap, crackle…ok, let’s stop there. These crackle mugs are breathtaking at this cute, gem of a shop on upper Belmont. Pillar opened right as the pandemic was in full swing, so I’m not sure if you all know about this cutie-pie shop yet. It’s one of my favorite places to hit up when I’m shopping for closing gifts for clients.
Pillar, 4252 SE Belmont Street, Portland
