CONGRATULATIONS TO CARSON ELLIS. THIS IS AMAZING!

The first part of a new mural designed by Portland artist Carson Ellis for the St John’s Neighborhood will be unveiled on Saturday, May 11th, at 10:00AM at the Grocery Outlet Store on 7741 N. Lombard. City Commissioner Amanda Fritz and Oregon Speaker of the House Tina Kotek will cut the ribbon at the celebration. The mural will be one of the first things that people see upon entering St. Johns from the east along N. Lombard. Carson’s design was painted by Whitney Anderson, an artist with 20 years of experience painting murals, carnival rides and other outdoor works.

Had such a good time presenting our small Nationale table last night at Lowell as part of our store swap with this North Portland gem (through June). Thanks to everyone who came out and enjoyed apéritif and sunset with us.

Nationale is pleased to present Jennifer Armbrust’s Free Advice as its membership event this month. Now in its third year, Free Advice initially began as an experiment for Armbrust to play with the advisor archetype in a fluid and public format. The unexpected success and fulfillment afforded by the performances, as well as the evolution of her own career path have brought us to an exciting moment where art and life collide. In January 2013, Armbrust retired from web and graphic design to launch a creative consulting firm, providing guidance for innovative brands, businesses and creative professionals. The format of Free Advice remains in-tact, with Armbrust continuing to engage all queries brought by performance participants. For those seeking deeper involvement, she doles out Paid Advice through her business, Armbrust & Co.

Saturday, May 11, 4-6 p.m.

Just a little bit more patience. The world release date is set for May, 20th. We will have the new issue (#11), of course, as well as back stock for issues #5, 7, 8, 9, and 10….

Hope you can join us at Lowell (819 N Russell) tomorrow night for some French apéro de 18h à 20h (yes, I’m in full French mode…. leaving for Paris Tuesday!!!).

If you haven’t been to Lowell yet, this will be a perfect introduction. We’re bringing lots of favorites, including many gift ideas for Mom :-)
