Here at Peterson’s as of late, we have become awestruck by the multitudes of artistic genius that are surrounding us at this very moment. The RealMother Goose occupies a large space opposite us in the same building, and is always filled with amazing art for sale. And now, our Morrison location at 922 SW Morrison, has been graced by not one, but two Pop-Up Shoppes that surround us on either side.
If you face our Storefront, the Pop-Up Shoppe to the left is Portland Design Collective. Located at 902 SW Morrison.
Below is a photo I took at PDC of a lovely dress, hand-made by a true artistic craftsperson.
One block east from Peterson’s on Morrison, the former Carl Greve Jewelers Shop at 731 SW Morrison has been given new life and is now a very cool Contemporary Arts Space. We are humbled to have such talent in our proximity.
Shelby Davis & Crystal Schenk
Crystal Schenk and Shelby Davis, are both brilliant Contemporary Artists in my book.

Portland Mayor Sam Adams kick-starts the Holiday Shopping Season in Downtown Portland with an unveiling at ‘Flurry’, one of five ‘Pop-Up’ Shops that will occupy previously vacant properties throughout the Holiday Season. We’re hoping they have enough success to lay the groundwork in becoming permanent shopping destinations in the downtown retail core.

All the staff here at Peterson’s wish a hearty welcome to our new neighbors, two of which will be occupying stores on both sides of our Morrison store, Portland Design Collective (902 SW Morrison) and Downtown Artistry (940 SW Morrison) respectively.
Stay tuned for updates, photos, and video of all the exciting new Pop-Up Shops here in Downtown Portland!
After finding that vitamins and other healthy ingredients lose potency sitting in water, we went out and found a way to stop drowning the vitamins in drinks. By storing the active ingredients inside our unique, patented cap, separate from the water, ACTIVATE’s vitamins stay fresh, potent and offer a convenient way to get a healthy dose of the nutrients your body needs.
ACTIVATE’s formulas are designed to help you maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. Using the freshest, highest quality ingredients kept fresh and potent inside our cap, we offer a Core Line of drinks for everyday health maintenance – featuring Vitamin, Immunity, Energy and Antioxidant. We also offer a line of Workout drinks, packed with electrolytes and vitamins, available in four flavors – Grape, Passion Fruit, Lime and Grapefruit.
ACTIVATE drinks contain 0 sugar, 5 calories and are sweetened with Stevia – a remarkable non-caloric herb native to Paraguay that has been used as a sweetener and flavor enhancer for centuries.
