The best thing to grace Hawthorne Blvd (Portland) in a damn long time.

Hey, Portland… take your stylist hineys to Mag-Big, an incredible new shop that has opened up on SE Hawthorne Blvd in the amazing beautiful stone house-turned-business that the Dollar Scholar used to be in.  It’s sandwiched directly between Goldust Meridian and my favorite vintage shop, House of Vintage.

Here’s the thing about Mag-Big:  it’s a shop where only Portland-metro based artist get to consign their goods at ridiculously affordable prices.  I was floored when I saw how cheap their gorgeous one-of-a-kind goods were.  My friend Cassie runs the place and I am hoping to sell some of my feather brooches and flower hairpieces once I perfect the manufacturing of them.  I’m giving away my prototypes as gifts to friends and local artisans in exchange for their wares until I can get the formula and steps just right.
