A quick three days in Portland, the place I've wanted to visit for years.
So much fun and lots of vegan eats!
Some pics from the trip...
Went straight to Portobello for brunch upon arriving.
A vegan haven!
Lots of these bubblers all over downtown
Celebrating the City of Roses and the recent parade of roses with this beautiful display of flowers.
yup. that is made from flowers.
I love all the cute sculptures around everywhere.
I like this boat
Let me tell ya, I've never know a doughnut place to be open 24 hours a day and ALWAYS have a line. It was worth it. VooDoo Dougnuts has a great vegan selection. The Portland creme pie was my faaaaaavorite!
We got stopped several times walking around with this pink box, people asking us where we got those, they want to eat some...hee hee
I don't remember where I found this, but I have an old pachinko machine in my basement and I just love coming across these old machines. I love the colors and designs on them, so vintage and fun!
vegan peppers and sausage at Sizzle Pie-so good.
I was shocked and amazed at the size of this place, an entire city block! with levels! and a poster sized map to get around!
~love~
My favorite shop in Portland AND they will be carrying my limited edition prints for sale, very soon. yay.
I loooove the jewelry, bags and of course the art in the shop!

Hunt and Gather was another cool shop, home furnishings and decor.
There's original paintings from Jessica Swift and Flora Bowley!
Jessica Swift's beautiful original paintings on the wall.
I just finished reading Brave Intuitive Painting by Flora Bowley which was fabulous. I recommend it for anyone wanting to loosen up and go with the flow in their paintings.
Flora Bowely's painting above the bed (the bright one).
Chilli bowl at Prasad.
Gotta love this place! It's in a yoga studio and has vegan and raw food menu.
~Highlight of the trip~
I got to have lunch with Jessica Swift!! Jess has so many cool projects going on you must check out her website and her new book The Declaration of You! We had a great lunch, have SO much in common and she just may convince us to move to Portland-which won't be too hard because Tommy and I both love it! We're already planning a longer trip back to do some more exploring.
New Portland stickers on our water bottles.
Lots and lots of love for Portland!
