Downtown Portland Inspires Me



I had a very inspiring day today. Every visit was fresh and warm . . . just like the sun today in Portland as it peaked out beyond the clouds. Downtown Portland is an exciting place to visit; I felt it a privilege to be in the Pearl District for part of my day. It feels so alive there amongst the brick warehouses transformed into eclectic meeting places!
I drove past my old stomping grounds as I left my appointment: Smith Western Novelties and Gifts. I learned how to use a packing tape dispenser working in the shipping department which pretty well explains why I am a master box packer. I would bring Morty, my first baby, down to the warehouse of the family business and work in the afternoons.
 
It is funny how I used to count boxes of thousands of postcards there and now I represent a greeting card company, SendOutCards, that prints ONE personalized postcard at a time. How cool is that? I love that not only do they print on recycled paper BUT they print ONLY the cards that are being sent out; now that is eco-friendly! Not only are they “Changing lives, one card at a time” but they are Saving the environment, printing one sent card at a time”!
