My Favorite Shop on Foster Road

Wild, Wonderful and oh so Fragrant.

Wild Mountain Wax Co.

6416 SE FOSTER RD | PORTLAND, OR 97206

This wonderful candle studio + gift shop features handcrafted goods from over 150 makers and artists! Their handcrafted soy based candles and body products are made in the Portland, Oregon studio using natural, non-toxic ingredients that are primarily sourced and inspired by life in the Pacific Northwest. They offer seasonal fragrances to fit every mood and fill your home with scent. They also feature hand-crafted jewelry, decor, and home accessories. This shop has been a great place to find the perfect gift on many occasions, and it’s one of my personal favorites.

Wild Mountain Wax Co. also offers an In-store candle jar return program that lets you earn free candles when you return the used candle vessels for reuse.

When you shop with local indie retailers and support local makers and small businesses, you are infusing connection and resources back into your home community. So shop small, shop local, and shop handmade!

A Woman’s Place Is In The Distillery

Did you know that only 1% of distilleries in the U.S. are owned by women?! Lucky us, Portland is home to Freeland Spirits – a woman-founded and run distillery nestled in an industrial space just off Northwest 23rd. Former agriculture educator and nonprofit leader Jill Kuehler teamed up with distiller Molly Troupe (who has a background in biochemistry, and a Masters in distilling, nbd!), and Freeland Spirits was born.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look for their gin and bourbon in unique teardrop-shaped bottles at the liquor store this holiday season, or swing through their HQ for a tour and a martini.

Cheers!
