0051 -- saturday on mississippi

This Saturday we celebrated our friend Wesley's birthday by going out day drinking and shopping on Mississippi in north Portland.
We had been twice (although very unknowingly) but not actually walked around much. The first time we went to Paxton Gate which is an incredible taxidermy and natural oddities shop. The other time we went was strictly to eat the biscuits at Pine State (yum)!!
On Saturday we had planned to eat at Por Que No? But it was closed for renovations so we ended up at Bar Bar for burgers and boozies! I had the veggie burger which was incredible!! The bun was out of this world and they even came with my favorite pickles on top! Along with our banging burgers I had one seriously delicious Bloody Mary! Just the perfect way to start Saturday!
From there we went to an awesome thrift, meets knick knack, meets, decorations shop. I believe it was called flutter. Jordan bought me two of my favorite tarot cards there (the 3 of cups and the 3 of swords). 
Our next stop was cocktails tails again and this time around a fire pit in the back of Interurban. A few pimm's cups later and we were ready for more thrifting! 

Along with thrifting where I finally found the perfect wide brim hat, we did pop into Paxton Gate again so we could pick a piranha for our shelves!!


On the way back to the car before our last bar stop we paused in the most random shop call the Meadow. The shop carries only salts, chocolates, wine, bitters, and a very small selection of fresh flowers. Everything is available to sample and they strongly encourage it. They were very knowledgable and our friends ended up buying the most yummy rhubarb bitters! I can't wait to see what kind of cocktails they create with it!




We ended the evening over at Liberty Glass, a cute little bar with great vegan options and a warm atmosphere! It was a fabulous day and we were so excited to be able to slow crawl and wander into all the shops the area had to offer!!

Update again soon!
