While the cost of gas is a hindrance, it really does make us think about what amenities are closest to home. I love spending time in Kenton with its small town feel and its expansive options for restaurants, shops, and services. Here are a few of my favorites!
Small coffee shops are a Portland staple, and each have their own little quirks, but Posies has a special place in my heart. Not only do they conjure up a good brew or two, their pastries are like pockets of heaven on a plate. You’re sure to love anything they have on their beautiful counters.
Fang is the perfect place for both plant and pet parents. Their staff has amazing knowledge of their products, and their garden portion keeps you interested as the weather changes go by with seasonal offerings. I love that I can grab a pet appropriate plant and some pet treats to gift to my clients at closing!
Offering free exhibition hours, the Oregon Temporary is Kenton’s own art gallery. Known for amazing special exhibitions such as Culinaria & Lavender House, you can now stop by and see the Rick Silva exhibit called Peaking (until June 26th)! Silva is an Oregon artist and this exhibit centers on his newest video works.
Now that you’ve got the artist bug, why not pick up some supplies from our local art supply store? As the spring evenings turn to summer, consider having a Bob Ross painting night with friends, and the lovely staff at Artist & Craftsman supply will help you find everything you need!
Feeling witchy? Get to know yourself better by picking up a pack of tarot cards and some crystals from our favorite apothecary. Treat yourself to some amazing candles and bath products to revive your spirit!
