My talented clients are cranking out wonderful things in their workshops this holiday season. Presenting my first annual SimplyFine Design Holiday Gift Guide! There’s something for everyone on your list…
Marushka Chocolates
Portland Chocolatier and Pastry Chef Leila Ellis {formerly of Pix Patisserie} knows her stuff. She makes fine artisan chocolates by hand in Portland, Oregon using ethically sourced chocolate and only the finest ingredients. Sample her Favorites Collection or just in time for the holidays, Christmas Mendiants. Sweet yumminess you can feel good about.

Justin Jude Music
Multiple-award-winning singer-songwriter Justin Jude delivers a stunning, stripped-down collection of songs on his new acoustic EP 5 Kinds of Rain. Equally awesome is his previous It’s Love It’s Love It’s Love. Pop Americana. Acoustadelic and gospelicious. And at under $5, the perfect stocking stuffer!

Shop online here (gift certificates, too!) How stunning and classic is their Ethos Paris Marilyn Dress. {I’ve been extra good this year.}
BeerColors™
Cute, funky, playful and cool BeerColors™ decorative art prints are created from paintings made with beer. These unframed 8”x10” giclée prints range from paintings of endangered species to whimsical and humorous expressions of animals engaged in human activities. My favorite is his “Geesers” series where he pays homage to Rodney Dangerfield’s Caddyshack character. Did I mention they’re made with beer? Microbrew. Birds. Quirky. 100% Portland.
