This new addition to artist collective Studio 1627 makes its neighbors’ and other local artisans’ wares available to shoppers increasingly interested in supporting, yes, local. (I think this may be the word of the year!) Jeweler SageWorks Designs and Farmmaid Soaps are behind the shop, but they also carry a wide variety of gifts perfect to give a piece of Oregon: candles, hats, baby dresses, pottery, even tasty goodies like jam and caramel corn. And their Christmas tree is just too festive to resist. Liz Hummer, 12/10/09
