located at 811 E. Burnside st, #116. The jewelry boutique and gallery I own is a 10 minute drive south from the house, but well worth the trek, IMHO! I have been carefully curating the place for over 12 years, and hope you will come check out my offerings. great place for tourists to see local art, designers, and grab some souvenirs. Right across the street from the Doug Fir, and nestled in a hip, fun shopping area with lots of other galleries and boutiques.
