Ah, the Portland turkey. An integral part of any Thanksgiving meal in Oregon. And if you’re anything like the typical Portlander, you care where it comes from, who is raising it, and what it’s eating. You may even want to visit the farm.

Portland Vintage Crawl

 

VINTAGE LOVERSSSSSS (Oprah voice)!

We are so excited to host the second vintage crawl THIS Saturday (11/16) (how is it already mid-November?!)!

We’ll start at Hollywood Vintage at 11am.

Address is 2757 Northeast Pacific Street in Portland.  Parking can be a little tricky, so we encourage you to carpool or Lyft/Uber/bike/walk when possible.  Check-in will be by the bus outside – it’s a gold school bus, you won’t be able to miss it!

You’ll be able to put any valuables you don’t want to lug around on the bus as well as grab a welcome beverage to get your shopping day started.

After Hollywood Vintage we’ll be having lunch at The Zipper across the street.  There are a few lunch options in the building (all delicious): Basilisk, Wares, Slice Pizza, and Tight Tacos.  Links included if you want to check out menus prior to Saturday.

We’ll then jump aboard the bus and head to Vintage Pink, followed by Hawthorne Vintage.  The tour will drop off back at Hollywood Vintage around 3pm.

There will also be a few surprise giveaways along the way courtesy of our lovely co-hosts: Summer, Kel and Laura.  Also, if you’re looking for something in particular, make sure to give these three a heads up.  They’re vintage experts and amazing treasure hunters who can help along the way!

We are close to capacity, so if you know of any other friends that might be interested, please feel free to send them the event link.

And for any questions at all, reach out to Sophia at 503.936.7499!
