This is not your typical General Store! Yes, there is an assortment of unrelated items, but they have been carefully curated to create a high end general store. Gorgeous iron garden tools with wooden handles; lovely scented Twig & Moss luxury candles; local artisan jewelry - necklaces of many lengths, earrings and rings; bright melamine salad bowls with bamboo interiors; vibrant dishes and serving pieces. Backpacks and crossbody bags mingle with scarves, warm camping blankets, placemats, table linens and ceramics.
There is a little bit of everything! Any item purchased here will elevate your space and experience. I was seriously impressed! For example, they have round, portable charcuterie boards that when you twist the top, a bottom drawer is exposed and contains four different cheese slicers and spreaders. Now that's clever, functional and beautiful! With all the wine tasting I do, I need one of these!
The shelf stocked with specialty teas was it icing. The canisters were adorned with stunning papers collected from around the world and hand wrapped making the canister as special as the tea contained within. If you purchase one for a gift or for yourself, it would be proudly displayed on counter and not behind a cabinet door. The orange poppies were my favorite in case someone wants to buy me a gift!
At JP General, ordinary items are anything but ordinary! Hellagood brand blankets that have warm faux fur inside and a durable fabric outside that fold and strap so you can easily bring camping, keep in your car for outdoor concerts or use around the house. This is just one example.
The store is just delightful! We spent so much time walking slowly, checking everything out, reversing order and making additional laps - we didn't want to miss anything!
Nestled amongst the many stores on SW Capital Hwy in charming Multnomah Village, JP General is a must visit! Heck, it's even a worthy destination. read more
