Noun: A Person's Place for Things and Saint Cupcake

Noun: A Person's Place for Things in Portland, Oregon. Though my visit to this place was completely unplanned, I walked in feeling like I'd been there before, like I'd seen this place on one of the many design blogs I read and that it needed to be shared, especially with my boutiquing mom and my crafty sister.

The store is reached through an equally-cute cupcake store called Saint Cupcake. Every special item was tagged with a simple story of its origin. For example, flat felted circles declared, "Some would call this a trivet. We prefer 'modern doily.' Use it as a coaster-for-two, or as a buffer between your favorite lamp and your scratch-prone end table!"

I just had to share (and I hope the owners of both stores aren't too put out by the pictures I snuck--it's free advertising, right?).
