Avalon was super snazzy. The nice guys there were really impressed with us not being obnoxious teenagers and let me try on 342734982 vintage hats and sunglasses! My kind of fun.
The Saturday market was a blast (i.e. more hats!)...We spent a while there exploring the craftiness.
Quirky shirt alert.
This guy, Terry, was really cool. One man stopped by his booth and asked, "Have you been here since the seventies?" to which he replied, "I sure have!" The man went on to explain that his wife had bought one of his cards then and to this day couldn't bring herself to give it away. This made me really happy to hear.
Record store!
Can I live here?
The owner was working on this awesome lamp.
Outside Powell's Books, the HUGEST bookstore I have EVER been IN. We're talking a whole block, four stories high. I could spend days in that place!
Moral of story: I ♥ PORTLAND

Those crayons are awesome... I would've ended up going home with one in every color. Haha.
Wow! and being a total Harry Potter geek I am in love with the water pitcher. How cool. Haha I may just have to make a water bottle cozy that says "Aguamenti" now. xD
