Shop Journal — Brick & Mortar

It's been quite awhile since we've done a Shop Scenes post here in the Journal, our last shop scenes was back in February PC (pre covid).

Not a complaint, but goodness, I am facing this...

In the beginning of November we got the wonderful opportunity to open up an Adored Vintage clothing & home lifestyle shop in Portland, Oregon! Back in July I had done a blog post on doing a "brick & mortar" that wasn't a brick & mortar and well now... Adored Vintage Mercantile is open for business! AV Mercantile is inside Urbanite...
