Hi everyone. Keiran, the owner of Porch Light, is my human. Thought you might want to know a little about me. I don't like to talk about my age, but I what I will tell you is that I only have one tooth, I wheeze, I don't see or hear well and I've been with Keiran for 15 years. One day, I mustered the courage to walk up onto her porch in Oakland, CA. I was hungry, scrawny and really scared, but she took me in, fed me, gave me some shots and a name (Spooky) and we've been together ever since. We've been through a lot together. I wasn't the greatest roommate at first; I peed in her shoes and pooped on her bed, but guys, I'd had it kinda rough before that and I was still learning how to live inside. She moved me to Portland 12 years ago and, at first, I was none too happy about it. 13 hours in a cage, not cool! But I have to admit, it's pretty nice here, so it was a good move. We lost some humans and some other cats whom we loved very much, but she makes an awfully nice garden and we eat well, so life is pretty darned good.
Indigo all over! Bowls, dishes, salt cellars and pod vases- we're ?with these blues!
Send someone a sweet bouquet in the mail! These floral postcards are perfect for sending sweet notes or for displaying around your house. We've got dozens of styles in stock for you here at the shop!

Happy weekend, Portland! It's gonna be a good one!⠀ ⠀ : @lindsaymeyerharley
Hey everyone! I just finished my second week of volunteering for @mealsonwheelsamerica where, in addition to getting to wear this super cool hairnet I also get to help people out, hear great stories and put food in people's bellies. They could really use a lot more volunteers and you can commit to as little as a few hours a week. They need drivers, kitchen helpers and packers. DM me if you want more details.
Sweet and simple vases: one for gifting, and one for you, of course.
These little fellas are not happy that the sun went away. Frankly, neither are we ????.
A shout out to all the amazing Stepmoms out there! Make her Mother's Day special too with one of these sweet @helloluckycards.
Pretty pattern party!
For the ones who are sweeter than honey! @tatineofficial candles make gifting so easy! Throw in a box of matches and you're good to go.
So many beautiful blossoms around town lately. We're loving this bout of warmth and sunshine!
Everyone needs a good apron and these smocks and pinafores by @portlandaproncompany totally fit the bill! Paint, create, hammer and bake- all while staying clean and stylish. We've got these beauties in all sizes and colors- just in time for Mother's Day!

Most of today was spent pretty much doing this.
