I’ll admit, I kinda love our new kinda silly and weather permitting Summer Hours. 🐱💗 But rumor is, we are getting our new AC unit next week 🎉 and will be going back to [somewhat] normal [less silly] hours soon. Stay tuned… 🤞🤞

Hot Cat Summer 🐱☀️ Speaking of hot summer it’s probably time to talk about the giant 🐘 in the room and give a little shop update. Our AC is going to be out for a bit (I still have the AC broken sign, but refuse to post again, it’s clearly bad luck). In the interim until it’s replaced, we’ve switched to “Summer Hours”. The shop will now be open 10-3 Mon-Friday (yes, Mondays are back)*. *Weather permitting. That said, we’re staying open as close to 3 as possible with this crazy long heat wave. We only made it till 11:30 yesterday, but it’s going to be cooler today 🤞 Hoping things settle down and we get our new AC unit soon 🐱🔥Stay cool, you cool cats ❄️

Maybe not throwing out the sign is the real problem😿We’ve officially gotten to the bottom of what’s going on, but it’s not good and going to be awhile until it’s fixed (we need a whole new unit😼). Since it looks like it’s going to be pretty hot the rest of the week, the shop will only be open from 11-3 tomorrow, Friday and Saturday. We’ll let you know what the plan is for next week when we know. Stay cool, you cool cats 😽❄️

Show us your kitties (and doggies)! 🐱✨🐶

The cat’s out of the bag! We’ve teamed up with our friend and local artist for a very special collection. 🎀🎨 We will be featuring an art show at the shop featuring Jennifer’s work for the launch of this collaboration on June 2nd from 1-4. Jennifer is currently looking for cats and dogs to paint for the show. If you’d like to have a chance for her to draw your furry lovebug, please read the note below from Jennifer on how to submit your images below and we hope you can come to the event! 💗

Hello Sweet Pickle Lovers!

My name is Jennifer Mercede and I am a local Portland artist collaborating with Sweet Pickle Designs in the form of some freshly designed fabric for bow ties, bandanas & kickers. We are going to celebrate this collaboration on June 2nd with a little kick off party.

Starting that day, I will also be showcasing cat and dog portraits in the Sweet Pickles’ retail space and I’m looking for handful of cats and dogs to draw, would you like me to draw yours?

If so, here’s how it works:

1. Send your favorite pictures of your cat and/or dog to [email protected] by Tuesday, May 14th. I prefer front facing shots where you can clearly see facial features, though def happy to see your favs too!

2. I will choose a select few to draw for the event.

3. You come by the shop on June 2nd, or whenever you want, to see the art. The paintings will be for sale and you, of course, have first dibs if you would like to purchase the portrait of your sweetie - no pressure to buy! A portion of all proceeds will go to CAT Adoption Team.

Look forward to seeing your adorable pets!
- Jennifer

Hi everyone, just a shop update. 💗 I’ve decided to close our brick and mortar shop until next week while I mourn the loss of my little brother. My 33 yr old brother lost his battle with cancer on Thursday night. It’s put a huge hole in our hearts and I need to work from home this week and spend time with my family while we try to start to heal.

Orders will still be shipping, so you can still support us online or locally at one of the amazing retailers who carry us. Thank you for understanding and see you again next week.
