Portland is a crafty, crafty place (in a good way!) We love to feature items made with love by local mamas at Milagros.
The folks at Wilde Fig make the delightful crayon rolls we feature at Milagros, and now they have something new that is just as handy for your little artist on the go: Coloring Kits!
These kits fold up like a trifold wallet, feature a notepad that is ready to fill with inspiration and a set of crayons for creating with. The Coloring Kit folds right up, can fit in a pocket or purse, and is ready for art on the go. Great for a plane or car trip, waiting at your favorite restaurant, or even hanging at home.
Wilde Fig coloring kits come in a variety of fun fabrics and are a wonderful deal at only $10. Each is one of a kind, so come and choose your favorite!

You know, we are always adding lovely, lovely locally made goods to the shelves at Milagros. One recent addition is Pulli Pants!
Pulli Pants are made by a local mom, Jackie Karnes. Jackie finds wonderful sweaters on local resale racks – cotton, merino wool, and so on – and repurposes them into fun, colorful, delightful pants for baby, toddlers, and kids. Upcycling is super stylish with Pulli Pants!
Each pair of Pulli Pants is one of a kind, just like the little miracle in your life, so come in and check out the full selection!
