SOME PEOPLE ENTERED the Ballard boutique looking for Space Needle shot glasses. They were confused by the name: Souvenir. When the decade-old jewelry and objets d’art apothecary succumbed to urban renewal, owner Curtis Steiner treated it as a death. “Out of respect I started over with a new name,” says the shopkeeper of his eponymous new store. The rest—bracelets artfully arranged on glass relics; artist-made mise-en-scenes; serious studies of quotidian found items—remains blissfully the same.

Hi Curtis . . . I’m so excited for you!!!! Glad you found a great new home—no doubt, it will be even better than the last one. I look forward to visiting you, once my show schedule slows down (not in the near future!).
We’ll be at Portland Expo . . . Hall E, Row H (as in HAPPY), 43 & 44!!
Best wishes,
Debi & Jim of Ormolulu Vintage
