J’adore – AFAR Experience Seattle Edition
After a magnificent morning exploring the MOHAI in Seattle, the AFAR Experiences group headed to a very special venue, an artisan popup shop called “Our Material World” curated exclusively for us by Laura Sullivan Cassidy, Seattle Met's style editor. Seattle Met is a really great Seattle magazine that covers just about everything you would need to know, but I love their food and local culture stories (of course!).
The pop-up shop consisted of 16 mini-shops inside an abandoned building christened Love City Love in Capitol Hill. I am not a shopper, but I shopped. I shopped so much that I forgot to take pictures of the gorgeous space! Thankfully other people weren't as distracted as I!

It was gorgeous inside!
I thought I would create this edition of J'adore and share some of the artists that I really loved – and bought from! Not being a shopper, I don't know what got into me, I was inspired by the beautiful pieces.
See?
I am not one for jewelry, I never remember wearing it, but I was enamored by the collection from Rachel Ravitch. I bought a necklace similar to this which also works as a bracelet. Rachel has spent time in France, doing some university in Nantes, and we had a great conversation about that beautiful little town that Mr. Misadventures and I visited a few years ago.
I bought three scarves (of course I did). I can't help it, I wear one almost every day and it is my souvenir for the places I visit. I picked up a beautiful red silk scarf from Diane Katz Designs, a very versatile black scarf from Blackbird, and this beautiful and unusual scarf in a gorgeous green from Victory Garden Yarn.
From Joanna Morgan I found a very delicate ring to replace one that recently broke, I was thrilled to find it.
I have a small stationery habit and fell in love with these little books from Paper Hammer, they have actually inspired an essay for another project that I am working on.
I didn't buy any of the Neon Zinn pieces, but I loved them. So unique with the boat rope! And a perfect representation of industry and innovation in Seattle.
That’s it for this edition of J’adore, a few of my favorite finds during my weekend in Seattle with AFAR Experiences!
How about you? What are you currently adoring?
nice post
Now I know where to go for shopping.! Thanks
I love the setup with the ladders, neat idea. I also love the bracelet, it is so unusual. Sounds like you had a great time, enjoyed reading your post.
It’s all so gorgeous!
I really love the Victory Garden Yarn, although I’m never going to get use to seeing men wear the lady scarves. haha! I needed me some J’Adore. Miss you very much, Andi. The stationery you posted reminded me of the wonderful hand-written note you sent me recently. xoxo
You find the neatest things! I’m clueless and jeans and tshirts in my closet…goodness knows how old they are..
I miss parts of Seattle as I used to live there. i don’t miss the traffic but I miss the shopping, dining and exploring new places around the city.
awesme
I can see how you went nuts! I’m much the same — don’t usually love to shop, but when I’m in the right mood or feeling particularly inspired by what’s available, watch out!
Everything looks perfect
Cute stuff!! I’ve never been to Seattle, but I would love to visit!
Such beautiful pieces!!!
