This will be my second year participating in this fun event! If you haven’t been to downtown Oregon City in a while, you’ll be surprised! There are many great little shops to browse and places to dine. Businesses on Main Street will be hosting artists, crafters, musicians, designers, photographers, painters, authors, jewelry makers in their businesses to help highlight what makes Downtown Oregon City thrive!

Chinchilla Whiskers will be inside Coin Corner & Hobbies, a family owned hobby, antique & collectibles store. Located at 215 7th St, this is one of my favorite shops in Oregon City! If you like antique and retro toys (Fisher-Price anyone?) this is the place for you!

Come stroll historic Main Street on this lovely autumn evening for this free event starting at 5th Street & Main. White Rabbit Gifts/Black Ink Coffee will provide a free walking map of every business to hit down Main Street!

Hope to see you there!

I’ll have lots of these vinyl cardholder/wallets! They are perfect if you are going out and just want to bring your ID, some cash or a credit card. I use one to keep all my preferred and frequent shopper punch cards together in my purse. They would also be great for business cards!

devon_collageI’ve also been working on a lot of these double zip pouches! Since I took these pictures I have added detachable wristlet straps to the pattern, making these a convenient small purse.

Hope to see you there!
