Stumbled across Budd and Finn on a meander around China Town. Quite accessible but seemingly overlooked or hidden in the squalls of Portlands homeless center aka Chinatown. Just on Broadway, easy park and worth a visit, chock full of an eclectic mix of contemporary collectables and gifts. A strong mix of retro and modern vibes fill your senses upon entering, enough to dizzy your eyes with a stacked selection. A section of the store is outdoor themed with books, trinkets, coasters, mugs and nick nacks, another section with carefully crafted greetings and birthday cards.

We had our purchases (plates and candles) shipped back home to prevent having to carry them on our flight. Unfortunately the postal service did not heed the fragile stickers on the boxes and all of the plates arrived broken. Budd+Finn not only shipped us new plates the next day but they did not charge us for the replacements. I am more than impressed with this eclectic little store and urge anyone in the area to stop by! I certainly will if I'm ever in...
