VOTE FOR US! Click our bio link and show us some love via the Best of Portland 2020 poll. Simply tap "Shops and Services" and cast your vote for Porch Light in the Plant Shop and/or Jewelry Shop categories if you think we deserve a nomination. During such a scary time we're glad our community is doing everything it can to lift up local small businesses and independent shops. Voting closes April 22, so show us some love and keep your fingers crossed that we'll be back up and running sooner than later. 🤞🏼Thanks to @willametteweek and @newseasonsmarket for making this happen!
BOGO on all plants! We posted a selection of options to IG stories, but you can also message us directly to see what we have in inventory. What's on your wish list? *BOGO on plants of equal or lesser value.⁠ Cannot be combined with another promo (like a gift card). Curbside pickup preferred. Message us to coordinate and see our story/highlight for rules. ⁠
Looking for more ways to support small businesses? Click our bio link to learn about a coalition called PDX SOS that we joined alongside so many other local retails shops, restaurants and more. This awesome organization is helping the small biz community advocate for economic assistance and relief, and help raise awareness around current harsh realities. We can only get through this by standing together!
Thank you to everyone continuing to support local small businesses by paying it forward with gift card purchases. It makes a difference. YOU make a difference. In case you missed it, we're offering discounts on gift cards right now, which means 20% off for you to use now or later. You chose. And by doing so you also chose to keep us around during an uncertain time, and that means everything. Click our bio link to shop gift cards. Use the code "STAYCALM20" at checkout (and enter "PDX" in the notes section).
At the shop we feature so many handmade goodies crafted by local makers, including these gorgeous loom-woven towels by @junewovensandfibers, and petite ceramics by our very own leading lady and shop owner, @keiran_best. We're snagging a cute towel/soap dish combo to complement all the rigorous hand-washing we're doing these days. DM us to claim a set!
Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest ZZ plant of them all? Spring Equinox was yesterday and we couldn't be happier to welcome in the change of seasons, which is a nice spot of positivity during an otherwise challenging time.
In case you haven't heard, we're offering discounts on our gift cards right now with the code "STAYCALM11". Click the link in our bio to snag one! You can save it for later or use it now on something like this little gem. Available in our online shop, she features a cast brass pendant with glass beads on a gold-plated chain. Chain length measures 18″ and the pendant is approx .75″ x .75″ (and remember, we ship and are currently offering free local deliveries for orders over $100 to Portland-based folks). When purchasing your gift card, remember to choose "Portland” or “Des Moines” as your location.

Dearest community: Starting tomorrow, 3/17, we will be temporarily closing our shop through the end of the month. This decision does not come lightly, but we're doing what we feel is best for our staff and community in light of a global crisis. This is beyond challenging for the small-business community. Every way in which we can support one another in the coming weeks and months will be crucial. In that spirit, starting tomorrow you'll be able to purchase discounted gift cards using the code "STAYCALM11". Other things we'll be doing to make it easier to offer support:⁠ 🏻Free local delivery starting Wednesday, 3/18⁠ 🏼Appointment-based shopping opportunities via FaceTime ⁠ 🏽More inventory made available online and shared via IG stories ⁠ 🏾What is this list missing? We want to hear from you.⁠ ⁠ A resounding thank you to everyone who has shown us love and support in these uncertain times. Wishing you and yours health and safety.
During this uncertain and downright challenging time we empathize with our local and global communities in light of these immense pressures. We'll continue to keep our shop doors open and take guidance from the CDC to maintain a safe and clean environment for all. That means:⁠ 🏼: Throughout the day we're disinfecting the store, especially in high-traffic and high-touch areas.⁠ 🏼: Our team is taking extra hand-washing breaks, we've got hand sanitizer at the register and we're making disinfectant wipes available to customers if needed.⁠ 🤟🏼: If you're not feeling well or you don't feel comfortable leaving home, remember you can always shop our online store, via IG, or call us up to place an order. ⁠ 🏼+🏼: Right now we're offering free local delivery for Portland-area customers, including potted plants.⁠ 🖐🏼: If you want to support local small businesses during this complicated time without leaving home or exchanging goods, consider purchasing a gift card to use down the road. A little support goes a long way!⁠ ⁠ Stay safe and healthy, everyone.
Spring Equinox is around the corner. Do you have your plant strategy in order? We've got lots of pots if you need to size up an existing plant before the growing season starts, and lots of plants in case you need to add to your current plant family. We also offer a potting service at the shop, in case you want all the plant glory without getting your hands dirty. *Potting service available with purchase of plant and pot in store.
An ode to witchy ways, mixed metals and precious gemstones. Just a few more reasons to love the handmade pieces by @acanthusjewelry we carry in our shop. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠

Isn't she lovely, isn't she won-der-ful. Handcrafted using brass and casting techniques, this Giver Ring, with your choice of a Black Onyx or Pink Opal stone, is truly one-of-a-kind.⁠ ⁠
| Plant Spotlight | Air plants, aka Tillandsia, are a type of epiphyte, meaning they like to grow on other plants when found in nature, like trees or bushes. Give your air plant several hours of bright indirect light daily and be sure to keep it hydrated. They love humidity, so if you've got a bathroom with lots of natural light you're a prime candidate for an air plant. That said, anyone can have air plants if you can commit to regular misting and/or weekly to bi-weekly watering (depending on the environment). We like to soak ours in a bath of distilled water (or tap water that has been left out overnight so any hard minerals can evaporate). Afterward we always flip them upside down to drip dry in order to avoid root rot. What other air plant questions do you have for us?⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠
Everything in our shop is selected based on our mission to bring you quality goods for everyday living. That means we put an emphasis on fair trade, handmade, locally-sourced and sustainable goods. And when you shop with us you use your dollar to vote for these important things too.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠
We're ready to say "goodbye" to February and "hello" to spring nail colors. It may feel wintry outside yet, but Spring Equinox is around the corner and our nail game will be ready.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠
Our Turkish towels come in various prints and colors, making them great as a bathroom set, for beach blankets and picnics, or to use as a sarong.
