Recently returned to the Northwest after living in San Francisco for years, where I had a dreadful…read moretime finding really gorgeous holly wreaths. They were always in short supply -- most folks seem to want mixed wreaths -- but I'd grown up with fat, gorgeous, English green holly wreaths here, so always looked for what I remembered. Had grand decorating plans for first Christmas back in the Northwest, but was astounded to discover how few holly farms were left, and to complicate matters, those still here seemed to be growing mostly variegated holly. Ugh! Called everyone, finally found Oregon Holly. They had green holly. Ordered a 20" wreath for my front door and two smaller for our front porch gates. Absolutely stunning. Fat, fresh -- beautifully made. So pleased that I ordered one shipped to a friend in South Carolina -- a transplanted San Franciscan who loves holly. She said people actually rang her doorbell to ask where she'd gotten the wreath. Wish that an enterprising shop/business in Portland would invite Oregon Holly to have a space in their shop during the holidays. They could be a real draw!

I needed a photographer for my Portland destination wedding at Voodoo Doughnuts 2. I found OneBloom…read morethrough a Google search. I got a good vibe from Aaron's info section and the few messages we exchanged. His portfolio also looked well rounded. It was a great decision. Aaron is a wonderful and talented photographer who is easy and fun to work with. I can't recall what he described his style of photography but I wanted a good mix of photo-journalistic, illustrative and traditional and it was what I got. His prices are more than reasonable for the quality of work. The wedding packages are flexible and can be tailored to fit your needs. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I have beautiful pictures to show for it.

Because I wad in my home, I could get my feet done which was an extra treat. But the best part of all was how sensitive she was to this being a social time for my niece. She engaged her in conversation about goals and hopes at times but also backed out of conversation when it was just between the two of us. My niece and I got to bond and my niece also had confirmed her sense of belonging to the community of women. Thanks for being so wonderful!
