Thank you to The Oregonian for the write up!

You can leave a piece of your heart — or, more specifically, your heart‑shaped padlock — in Astoria.

The Love Locks project at Astoria’s Pier 39 invites people to purchase a kit with a heart-shaped lock and a paint pen for writing a special message. The locks don’t have keys — both to symbolize the everlasting nature of one’s love and to keep a bunch of keys out of the Columbia River.

we’re super excited to be part of ’s spread the love astoria this year! there are 60 glowing neon hearts to spot all over town this february. go on a hunt & show some love to your favourite local businesses.

saturday, february 14 is especially special for us! it’s feral flora’s 1yr anniversary & ’s 5yr anniversary next door. we’ll be celebrating at the shop with fun surprises & flash tattoos, & pier 39 will also be hosting their own “spread the love” festivities. it’s also the weekend of dark arts, so why not make a whole day of it!?

wanna to help us spread the love? write a sweet, silly, or slightly unhinged note on one of the “love locks” postcards at the front of the store & place it in the box lovingly decorated by our resident shop goblin, alis.

if you’re feeling *especially* loving, you can scan the QR code on the box & leave us a google review.

Our beloved Monster is missing!!!

He has a collar with bell and AirTag. He knows his home. The AirTag last pinged on our property at 9:19 PM, February 3rd. We've stayed most of the night and searched all day.

Although the AirTag isn't connecting, we're hopeful. If you see him or find him, please text/call 503-969-0074.

Ube matcha with a touch of vanilla honey 😋.

It has a subtle nutty flavor to go with that punch of purple 🤪💜💚
