Specialties
little edie’s five and dime specializes in being a magic shop which poses as a thrift shop. we say this because it is so often we hear our dear regulars say. «i have been looking for (fill in the blank) for so long!» we also love being a neighborhood spot that people are proud to tell their friends about. we find joy in making home made gift certificates and wrapping gifts on the spot. we want to have what you need so if you don’t see it tell us and we will make a note of it in case we find it for you.
History
Established in 2008.
little edie’s five and dime was originally conceived in the owner’s childhood closet where she would play shop keeper and sell stickers, garbage pail kids and stationary to all her friends. back then little edie’s was called «treetops» since this all took place in balmy miami beach, florida. it only took twenty years later finding herself in portland oregon where the cute space opened up around the corner from her house, that it was decided the childhood closet should be made into an adult dream realized. luckily we have our guardian angel, «little edie» keeping us trotting right along. we hope to serve this community for the next twenty years. or at least long enough to see the neighborhood kids all grow up!

i never imagined i would be so lucky as to be a proprietress but here i am. my jobs as a professional organizer presently and in a past life as a stylist and assistant stylist for fashion photography has helped me establish a sweet space with much inventory without it feeling too overwhelming or chaotic. it seems every step has led me to this path… thank you edie!
