When we started Portland Pandemonium we needed things to fill up our store
so we simply walked around our yard and garden and started "picking" stuff right where we lived!
We had big collections of outdoor items including bird houses, thermometers, metal signs, gee-gaws, tin containers,
old garden tools, and a ton of decorative items here and there and everywhere around the place and
it was these objects that made up our initial shop's inventory.
Plus, this turned out to be the beginning of our age-related "downsizing" soon to come!
Today this kind of yard & garden stuff continues to be a staple for us and we are always looking for things that might find their best use by being stuck somewhere in a yard or garden. And, of course, the odder and quirkier the better.
So, come take a little stroll around our garden with us, but be sure to keep both your eyes and your mind open!
