Shopping in Wilsonville

Slab Handcrafted Soap Company's dedicated soapsmiths blend and cut soaps by hand. With extreme care and consciousness of the suds-making process, these artisans forge blocks from a blend of palm, coconut, and olive oils, and exotic butters—ingredients that cohere into smooth, rich bars. These slabs not only clean skin, but also moisturize it—unlike commercial soaps, which are made with a milling process that extracts the natural moisturizing glycerin, they contain a high glycerin content. The all-natural soaps can last one person 4–5 weeks through regular use and only slight nibblings.

Mother-daughter team Grace Adkinson Spencer and Kandice Adkinson moved to Oregon in 2004 with a dream of helping women of all ages find their own unique style. Like Cornelius Vanderbilt's line of designer stunner shades, the tight-knight pair has fused their knowledge of fashion with a well-honed business savvy, filling racks and shelves with jeans and apparel from well-known labels such as American Apparel and True Religion or up-and-coming designers such as Pamella Protzel's Ella Moss collection. Flickering candlelight and the warm glow of chandeliers frame seasonal collections of breezy dresses and flowing tops, jewel-studded caps, and colorful handbags.

"A single flower can transform someone's day," says Flowerbelle Floral's star florist Anna Pustovit. With this belief in mind, Anna aims to instill emotional resonance into each pedal of her nature-inspired arrangements, which frequently incorporate bark and bonsai-sized tree sprigs alongside fragrant peonies, Asiatic lilies, and brightly colored tulips. Anna's blossom creations instantly draw glances to office desks and reception tables, and her nuptial handiwork graces the hands of brides, the tops of cakes, and the lapels of grooms and tuxedoed, ring-bearing canines alike.
