I thought having a small business would mean less emails than my old corporate job. Less "wait you misunderstand what I am asking for" back-and-forth. But no. 🪲

Does anyone else paranoidly check your straw before using one, just in case a spider crawled in when you weren't looking?

Some days I start feeling down that I'm not being productive and "doing something" with my life. But then I remember that I once dreamed of getting to where I am now. This was my goal, at one point. Now that I'm living it, it's so easy to take it for granted.

These pins are finally back in stock from @marikapaz.bsky.social !! #enamelpins #portlandartist

It's a really especially tough time for small businesses, so thank you to everyone who is sharing and shopping small! 💗

I can't believe I have to submit my marriage certificate to Google just to have my business ads work 👁️👄👁️ Like what. I can't just use my business license? What.

"Why are you so sleep deprived lately? You must be working so hard running your business!" Sorry to disappoint, I'm actually just playing Monster Hunter until 1am

From this week's clothing drop. I basically live in these colors. 💚🤎 #vintageclothing #vintageshop

Finally got this patch online, from @arcanebullshit.bsky.social

This might be a hot take, but saying "don't move here, Oregon's full" "don't come to the PNW" and things like that, is the same flavor as saying "go back to your own country"

Confession: sometimes I buy weird things online simply as a challenge to the seller to ship it. A dollhouse for $10 shipped? A hoop skirt? An umbrella? I don't think you thought this through, but I'm ready to be impressed.

Weird find of the day

This is your sign to get a bunch of friends together and start a drawing club at your favorite bar.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Saying goodbye to this cutie today 🐸💔

Trinkets you might find in an old wizard's tower ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊

Sold out another workshop event in under 3 hours! One of these days I'll find a balance between events being affordable and giving people a fair chance to attend 🥲

Wallowing in taxes and despair. (the despair is because of the taxes)

V-day gift Idea: matching calico critters 🥺

Just a few pics from our monthly Drink & Draw event! Every last Wednesday at Binary Brewing in Beaverton, OR

Just testing how/if video uploads work here 🤔

Making sure the shop is sweet for Valentine's season 🥺❤️

Sorting through some old photos of repairs we've done 🪡🧵

Hello! My name's Hazzel 🐛 I run a cozy little vintage shop in Beaverton, Oregon. Nice to meet you! Not sure what we'll be posting here yet, I've never been good at short form text content. What do you think we should post? 🤔
