Holiday Pop-Up Vendor- Nom and Ada
"We offer quality footwear within the realm of capturing nostalgic means
in our lives. We stand for timeless design. In appreciation for
experiences had, we remember the past. Through our passion for travel,
we search for the new. Both are the integral sources of inspiration that
we bring to the NOM&ADA family. Our lighthearted, yet
sustainable-inspired approaches are extensions of the diverse lifestyle
we're a part of."

Holiday Pop-Up Vendor - Takara
"Takara is inspired by traditional craft techniques and meditative working processes. Each
piece is handmade in a small workshop in Portland, OR. This collection combines the
traditional Japanese braiding technique, kumihimo, with natural dye processes and hand-
hammered metals. Amulets are bound by intricate silk cord, elemental shapes hang from
gold wire. Logwood, alkanet, cutch, kamala and sandalwood lend rich color to the fiber,
articulating a vital connection to the natural world.
The artist behind Takara is Jen Goff, a West Coast native currently residing in Portland,
OR. Her travels have led her all across the world, where she has worked on farms and
gardens, shot rolls of film, bypassed fancy education, studied medicinal herbs, walked
hundreds of miles, sat silent in meditation and finally settled down to make jewelry.
Jen’s working process is intuitive and expresses a desire to connect beauty with everyday
life through objects of personal adornment."
Visit the Takara site for more info and photos.

Holiday Pop-Up Vendor - plainMADE
"At plainMADE we traffic in ideas and trade
in the handmade. All our designs are
concept-based, knit, sewn and silkscreened
in small editions in our studio in Portland,
OR. We are devoted to the art of craft,
slowly and thoughtfully designing each
piece. By keeping our collections small and
our practice close to home, we are able to
dream up something new and bring it to
completion within a few weeks. So stop by
online, or drop in for tea...we can almost
guarantee there will be a surprise!"
and find some of these lovely scarves at our Holiday Pop-Up!
Holiday Pop-Up Vendor - Vitrified Studio
"vitrifiedstudio is a small home based
ceramics studio located in Portland Oregon founded in 2011. All of the
work is all limited production, high quality studio ceramics handmade
and designed by me, Shelley Martin. These handmade studio ceramics are
an alternative to the high volume mass produced repetitive work you find
in other studios, workshops, and factories. I have no assistants,
beyond photography guidance by my boyfriend, Mitch Snyder.
Each piece is unique, considered, and made only using my hands, the
pottery wheel, a few simple tools, local clay, food safe glazes and
natural cork stoppers.
All of the ceramics are handmade in my
backyard studio. The clay used is colored stoneware and porcelain from
the Pacific Northwest. The glazes are food safe and lead free. All of
the work is glaze fired in my electric kiln to cone 4-6 depending on the clay's chemistry. I
really love that I am merely continuing a tradition that has been going
on for thousands of years, making simple pots formed with my hands and
clay, on the potter's wheel. "
You can find out more about Shelley and vitrified studio on her site.
And to see her work in person come by our Holiday Pop-Up Shop on Dec 1 and 2.

"...members of a curious species have dedicated
their lives and fortunes to the search for their origins in a dark
universe... The finding affirms a grand view of a universe described by simple and
elegant and symmetrical laws — but one in which everything interesting,
like ourselves, results from flaws or breaks in that symmetry."
