Our 3 Favorite Things December 2nd, 2022

Let’s face it, small businesses have had it rough the past few years with multiple break ins, competing against online shopping and general hiring woes. That’s why we think it’s more important than ever to support small, local retailers and makers. Here’s our 3 local picks for today.

We just LOVE this cute Kenton shop chock full of handmade amazingness! If you haven’t discovered Mantle, we think you’re missing out! I adore flowers, but my collection of vases is seriously lacking. This vase takes your flowergame to the next level.

Mantle 8202 North Denver Avenue, Portland

Speaking of flowers, holy heck does Starflower have an eye for all things beautiful! Unique florals paired with an amazing eye, their arrangements are always jaw dropping and perfect for a party centerpiece or a surprise for your honey or bestie.

Starflower 3564 SE Hawthorne Blvd. Portland

Pass the beer and cheese…CHOCOLATE. Oh heck yeah! This local chocolatier blends up the most unique combos and is a fan favorite! We gave Foxglove bars last year for the holidays and got nothing but raves! She doesn’t have a brick and mortar, but does holiday pop-ups throughout the season and it’s easy to order from her website.

Be on the lookout! We have an ad dropping on the back of the Pine State Biscuits SE location menus! Sally has the artistic talent of our team and painted the advert. Check it out!
