If you haven’t heard of Crave Portland, you should check them out. Earlier this week, they hosted their first-ever Crave Holiday Shopping Party in NE Portland, and I was there to check it out.

I loved the decor and the vendors at this party — there were free cocktails, fun swag bags and cool sales, all from cool female-owned local businesses.

Some of my favorites: Woolie Originals (offering recycled wool gloves, hats and other apparel), Kate Grenier Designs (with these cool recycled bottle-cap magnets), Fliptography (flip-books made from a video!), Fifty Licks (try the maple-bacon ice cream), Grayling (beautiful jewelry) and Swanky Tables (wedding and event design).

Above and below: some of Grayling’s jewelry. I loved her booth setup, complete with burlap and antlers.
