A heads up came in today from the Memoir/Duchess compound:

ALL MEMOIR MERCHANDISE 20% OFF ALL HOLIDAY THINGS 40% OFF LAST DAY OF MEMOIR DECEMBER 31st DUCHESS WILL BE CLOSED FROM JANUARY 1st THROUGH 11th Yes, it’s true, there are so many things going on………While the union of Memoir and Duchess has been a sweet little chapter in Portland shopping history, extremely enjoyable for us and hopefully to you, it is time for Memoir to scoot along on its merry journey in other realms…Memoir proprietress Miss Brooke will be taking a hiatus from bestowing wonderful letterpress and handmade accessories onto us all in favor of pursuing some of her other generous talents (of which there are many). All her beautiful letterpress products, handbags, and other small treasures will flutter away and re-disperse themselves in various other shops, homes, and hearts before the year is over. But you can catch them for another week as they stand together at Memoir— We hope you come visit the enchanted kingdom of Duchess & Memoir one last time before it is gone. The last day open together will be December 31st!
