Although this could very well be a picture of me finding a new treasure at a favorite nursery, it's actually an illustration by David Catrow for a children's book called Plantzilla.

Freaky Friday - You Don't See That Everyday.


A couple of months ago, on that little nursery hopping trip to Portland, there was time after the nurseries closed to do a little exploration.  It's always fun to loose oneself in a new area of town, especially because the lady in the phone can always find a way out.  Sometimes, interesting discoveries await like this shiny thing that caught my eye.  Had to pull over and investigate.

Looks like a dragon in the making and catch the cool spheres.   The occupants of the house might be getting a little nervous, especially if this fellow is to be a fire-breathing sort. 

Unfortunately, it was behind the fence of a business that was closed but here's a bit more of what I could see behind the fence. 



This certainly looks like a place worth visiting during open hours!

Turns out, it's the exterior of Delia Furniture.  Do they also sell the cool exterior stuff or is that simply their own garden?   What of the magnificent dragon being built outside; is that a work to be displayed somewhere in the Rose City or simply a pet project/calling card for the business?

May your weekend be filled with unexpected delights!

  2. It's pretty sad that I've never been there, especially since Andrew's done work with them and told me about their cool creations. I know Anna's visited. Maybe she'll weigh in with some stories...
