State of Oregon Love

<3 Oregon 

I love Oregon, even when it has been raining for three days straight in May!  Today I have found quite a few items that feature the shape of our great state, here are three of my favorites. 

Bike Oregon T-shirt


This shirt, and several others on his site are made in Portland, Oregon by Nathan Verhoeven.

I love that they feature not only the state of Oregon, but some of what Oregon is famous for. 









Oregon Shaped Cutting Board

There were several sites on Etsy that were selling state shaped cutting boards but 
this one was made in Blodgett, Oregon out of Oregon Myrtlewood.  (A wonderful hardwood, only grown in Southern Oregon and Northern California on the coast)  This cutting board is also VERY reasonably priced at $35. 




Oregon Print

Ok, so this one was not made in Oregon, but it was my favorite!

It was made in Denver, Colorado.  I would still love to have it on my wall!
