Favorite Finds – Brighter Days Ahead
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010
e are so pleased that summer has finally arrived in Portland – even though it feels like it’s almost over. We are pleased that the sun is out everyday – even though it doesn’t come out until noon. We are pleased to be wearing flip-flops – even though we pair them with a sweater. We are attempting to remain positive about the sunshine season despite the fact that it has been practically non-existent. After all, if the summer was doing what it was supposed to be doing (luring us outside), we would be less happy stuck inside fixing up our new house every weekend. And if the summer was doing what it was supposed to be doing (being all hot and sticky), you would be less likely to come into the shop and see our new favorite find:
Even on the grayest of summer mornings, we find a glimpse at one of these little landscapes makes the day BRIGHT! They are made locally by Bright Design Lab, a clever little collective who not only create these tiny terrariums but design and build all kinds of wonderful things and spaces. We get new terrariums in every week and the images above are just a small example of what you might find at the shop when you come in for your next visit.
