It is trendy and undoubtably good, but look at the line. Miss Patience and I lacked the patience to stand in line. Almost everyone carried out a large box.

Perhaps a great opportunity for resale, since everything else was for sale at the Saturday Market in Portland.

Saturday Market, keeps growing. We replaced a broken bowl from a set purchased nearly 20 years ago. Same potter who said that he began selling at this market when he retired 25 years ago. Still semi-retired.

Just north of the Saturday market on the Willamette River with walking and bike paths on both sides.
