Welcome: Ink & Peat

Did we say something recently about the ampers(and) phenomenon for shop names in Portland?

After a 15 year stint doing textile design, Pam Zsori turned design blogger (Housemartin), floral designer, and now retailer with the opening of her floral and home shop Ink & Peat (3808 N Williams — Suite 126). Which is good news for you because she has a giant swath of your design gift needs covered…an armful of cut flowers? printed pillows and table linens? little vases, garden ornaments, rarified lotions and potions? Her aesthetic is clean, modern, light, organic, with a Scandinavian and rough-hewn feel, all in a light, large store in a coming ‘hood.

That’s “ink” as in printing on card and textile which Zsori extends to mean “handmade,” and “peat” as in digging one’s hands into the earth and the lovely flora that result. Have a look…
