• Sunday night's Portland Fashion and Style Awards were a hoot (thanks largely to snarky co-host Poison Waters), despite the attrition (it was pretty obvious people were leaving as soon as the winners in categories they cared about had been announced). Among the spectacle were appearances by a Baldwin and the lovely Nancy Hales (can we keep her even after Charlie goes?), and notable winners included West Daily in the emerging designer category, Adam Arnold as best male fashion designer, and Michelle Lesniak as best female designer.

• Kiriko is introducing a new line of ceramic coffee accessories to complement the textile goods it's known for. Maybe a holiday gift for the indigo obsessed on your list?

• Welcome another outdoor company to the Portland manufacturing fold: Mt. Hood's Treefort is now producing its entire line at Deseo 23 Studio, recently relocated from Vancouver.
