A recent trip to Portland opened our eyes (and wallets) to some of the greenest city's great finds. This week, Sedona Fitzgerald will take you on a little field trip to "The City of Roses" for some of her favorite picks.

Like every city that hipsters inhabit, Portland is no stranger to vintage shops. We stopped into tons of vintage stores during our visit and were surprised with low prices and some great finds. One in particular made us wish we were locals: Flutter. Perched on N.Mississippi Flutter bills itself as "a delightful disarray of found objects and clutter" but the "clutter" we found inside was the cool kind you'd like artfully placed all over your house...

Owner Cindy Rokoff has stocked the shop with treasures like children's toys from the 1920s, penny candy, unique stationary & books and sculptures. But our favorite items by far were the antique birdcages and taxidermied animals (we know, sounds creepy, but they were actually in perfect condition and very eye-catching).

Make sure you've got ample time to troll every section of Flutter and keep your eyes peeled for its superb collection of vintage jewelry and clothes scattered around. Another bonus were the prices; they were much less than expected. Think Anthropologie minus about a third. If you can't get to PDX anytime soon, shop Flutter's online store and they'll ship their "clutter" straight to you.
