What an exciting year it has been! Even though I was out of town for nearly half of it, Ollipop Greetings has really started to grow and come into its own. This past Sunday, Portland Roasting opened its first cafe in the Convention Center, replacing the Starbucks stores that previously occupied the spaces. Being a local company with a sustainable mindset, they are also featuring local vendors and artists in their store. I was contacted earlier this spring to be a local artist featured in the store with my Portland Love postcards.
As soon as I find out about the grand opening event I'll post some of my own pictures but until then here is a little article about the new store.

I was also contacted by Upper Playground and will soon have all three of my Portland postcard designs sold there as well. For now the orders are small but I am so excited about the exposure that my etsy store will have through these fantastic local businesses. I have been a fan of Upper Playground's store since I first visited it a few years ago. I was extremely flattered to be approached by them. I especially enjoy viewing featured artwork in their gallery, Fifty24PDX.
Hopefully, by the end of the year, I'll have my cards at some other local retailers. Keep your eyes and ears open and wish me luck. :)
