Portland Shops

At Sammy's, flower arrangements are largely hand picked from the area's seasonal offerings and named after local Portland streets. There are two locations—one in Goosehollow and one in the Pearl District. Sammy's offers same-day and online delivery, and carries a range of fresh flowers and plants, from lilacs and lilies to terrariums and mini cypresses.

In 2007, Mid-West transplant Hilary Horvath took her floral design talents to Portland where she's become a local staple. You can buy her arrangements at Alder & Co. in Goose Hollow, order for delivery throughout Portland, or contact Hilary for larger event needs.

While working in Amsterdam as a color designer for Nike, owner Kristin Van Buskirk developed a deep admiration for the quirky yet practical design brands that surrounded her. And so, upon moving back to Portland, she brought a couple of her favorites back with her and opened a shop, Woonwinkel—that’s home in Dutch. Here you'll find Hella Jongerius’ ceramics and Studio NL dinnerware along with some local, American brands with a similar design ethos, like Iacoli & McAllister, Von Tundra, and Studio Makelike.

At once flower stand—they work with local florist Hilary Horvath—knick-knack shop, stationer, and clothing boutique, this general store kind of has something for everyone. While they reach as far as Europe for some of their finds, including Mariage Freres teas, along with American-made table linens and napkins, Doug Johnston baskets, cookbooks, magazines, and more, they also proudly carry a tasteful selection of Oregon’s best handmade goods.

As its name suggests, this long-reigning home goods store in Portland prizes simple lines and useful shapes, like a simply but beautiful Brasilia coffee mill, or a set of Alexander Girard playing blocks. There's an emphasis here on pieces made in the Pacific Northwest, though it has global pull, too: You'll find candles and colored pencils from Japan, and vases from Scandinavia.
