Introduction
A lot of us are
trying to live more simply and keep the acquisition of new stuff to a
minimum but still want to acknowledge family, friends and co-workers
with a gift. To that end, we have strived for a balance of ideas, from
practical to whimsical and in all price ranges. We appreciate your
support of our local store and hope that as you do your holiday
shopping you remember all the great, locally-owned stores in
Portland. Your dollars spent locally help us all.
We certainly are aware of the high amount of suffering in the world
today and encourage everyone to do what they can in thought and deed
about it. We are convinced that the individual can still make a
difference.
Set
the Holiday Scene
We have ornaments and small crystals to hang on the tree or
around
the house. Lots of paraffin-free candles and lovely incense, smudge and
sweetgrass braids. Candle holders and incense burners to turn these
into a well rounded gift. You can’t go wrong with a Lotus Tea
Light holder made from Capiz Shells.
