Our Powell's Pics...


We wanted to share our quick subterfuge pictures from our recent trip to Powell's Books Home and Garden store on SE Hawthorne and 37th Ave. We know it's sorta dorky, but we took some pics of our stuff in the store because I had my camera with me and well, we just did! So here is the main case that the items are in at the eye level shelf...
The items are all in these huge trays filled with dry beans and rice and in a pretty red bowl. We are so happy to see our things here :) There are several mediums of pendants in stock at Powell's. We have the miniature domino pendants all on an 18" ball and chain necklace, some wood glazed pieces also on an 18" ball and chain necklace, and also some of our bamboo domino pieces which hang on black cording. We hope they do well here.

Regardless, this is a friendly, super fun store that is so easy to shop in for interesting and unique gifts. Stop by Powell's Home and Garden and see all that this amazing store has to offer!

We got blogged about!

We are so ecstatic that we were blogged about on the Oregon Property Team Blog for Real Estate Brokers! It was posted in regards to the Alberta Street Fair and also featured us as the artist to try and see at the fair! We are so appreciative of the time and kindness of Kori to do so :) Check out the whole blog below or check out the Oregon Property Team Blog here for tons of info on real estate, local events, and even going green....

What’s Going On - Alberta Street Fair & Urban Designs

Filed Under Just For Fun, Local Events · Tagged: Alberta Street Fair, Dava Bead, Oregon Property Team, Powell's Books, Urban Designs


Don’t miss, the Alberta Street Fair this Saturday, September 19th from 11 am to 6 pm. If you’ve been, you know it’s a blast and if you haven’t, it’s time to start! Similar to ”Last Thursday”, the Alberta Street Fair offers street vendors, gallery exhibits, fabulous restaurants and cafés - but rather than being a couple hours on a “school night” it’s a full day on Saturday, the street is closed to cars and there’s even a parade!
Specifically, check out Urban Designs: Unique Jewlery by NW Artists! They will be in space 98, between 16th and 17th in front of Halo Thai (oh, my mom’s favorite Thai restaurant… she will not eat Thai food anywhere else without comparing to Halo). Here’s what I love about Urban Designs - they are incredibly affordable and each piece is truly a unique piece of art.
The first time I saw their stuff I was just passing by, didn’t have my wallet but took a gander… every morning when I would get dressed I’d think, “I really need one of those pendants, it would really look great with what I’m wearing”. Yesterday, I finally had an opportunity to purchase my first Urban Design piece… I ended up buying eight (a couple are gifts - not all for me)! I put a pendant on that very moment and I just loved it (hello, we’re talking less than $15) everywhere I went I had people commenting on my necklace. I have to say, it just made me smile. Today, I wore one of the other seven - same reaction. I’m telling you, in these times when everyone is watching what they spend, people are worried if their job will be there next quarter let alone next week - there are still simple indulgences out there and Urban Designs is one of those frugal indulgences.
So, if you’re looking for something to do this weekend check out the Alberta Street Fair and specifically Urban Designs. If you can’t make it to the fair this weekend you can also find Urban Designs at Dava Bead and Trade on NE 21st & Broadway and Powell’s Books on SE 37th & Hawthorne.
Have a great weekend!
