Pigeon Toe Ceramics
In April, Justin and I are taking a long-anticipated trip to Portland, Oregon. I'm sure that as the trip gets closer my lists will become more succinct than what I have now. What I have now is a four page Word document randomly listing stores, coffee shops, bakeries, and shops, each place haphazardly added as I discover it.
Before we had confirmed our trip to Portland, I was aware of (and in love with) Pigeon Toe Ceramics. And now that I know we are heading to the West Coast, I'm eagerly anticipating a visit to their store, to Clive Coffee (home to Pigeon Toe's custom made cappuccino and coffee mugs) and to meticulously-curated stores like Ink & Peat.
