Everyone who worked there was super friendly and helpful, and I will be returning every time I'm back in Portland to see what's new!

Love that there is a dressing room to try on clothes, and it's such a fun spunky one at that! Prices were pretty good, a tiny bit higher- but worth it for the selections in my opinion. Would highly recommend swinging by here if you are looking for some fun beautiful pieces thrifting. It's a mix between vintage and "boutique fits." Really friendly customer service too as well, felt very welcomed and laid back vibes.

The staff were kind, the layout was beautiful, and it's one of those rare shops that instantly feels like home. If you love plants, vintage treasures, and places that spark a little inspiration, Alchemy is absolutely worth the visit.

I absolutely love the idea of having a shop dedicated to cat lovers because, let's be honest, we can NEVER have too many cat-themed things! Whether you're shopping for yourself, looking for a cute gift for a fellow cat lover, or just want to browse and enjoy all the adorable finds, Gifty Kitty is such a fun place to check out.

Plants, crystals, bones, teeth, taxidermy, bugs, books, jewelry, apparel, prints, DIY kits, feathers, & more. Some of my favorite pieces were: - The peacock taxidermy - The giraffe taxidermy - The deer jawbone (she came home with me) - The black scorpion preserved in resin (she also came home with me) - The stag beetle preserved in resin (... she came home with me too) - The rat snake preserved in liquid (she will come home with me someday) - The badger skull - The scorpion earrings by Theeth - The "Crap Taxidermy" book The staff was incredible helpful, too. They were eager to tell me more about pieces, show me things in cases, & even wrap my purchases beautifully. Some of the pieces in Paxton Gate were incredibly expensive, but still, they were priced properly. The giraffe taxidermy was $7,500. That makes sense. Some of the other items, however, I couldn't believe at how low the prices were. The deer jaw bone was $14, the black scorpion was $25, & the stag beetle was $18. What a deal! I highly recommend stopping in to this shop if you have a penchant for the macabre, like me. Fun fact: I found all four animals tattooed on me (rat snake, stag beetle, honeybee, badger) in this store.

This place has both new and used items. We buy stuff every time we go. There is vinatage furniture, new art, used art, cool little chakis, chairs, purses, jewelry, antiques, clothing and great vintage finds. So much more as well! Some things are unaffordable for us and some are more reasonably priced. We found beautiful wood shelves that are stunning and bought them. They were exactly what we were looking for. We got a cool industrial console table abd other fool finds. I have bought a few nicknacks that I like and new art when they had a sale. Street parking is easy to find plus they have a parking lot. There are bathrooms. I would say the one thing I dislike is everything is a final sale. I mean absolutely everything. So I have not bought certain things in case they could not work where we want to put them or we were might want to use. Also for gifts since they are not returnable and want to give my gift receiver's that option. Some staff are more helpful than others. So it depends on who is working. This a good place to go if you are cool with final sales. Theycdo have grsat stuff.
