So if you happen to be driving westbound down Division Street, you might catch a glimpse of this:
Up close, it looks like this (and lit up at night!)
...And you'll know you're in the right place when you see this:

I sent you an email (I actually sent you two emails, but I suspect you didn't receive it!) I am so excited for you, because I had a similar idea, but didn't believe it was possible for a small person biz to do this... and I had some ideas for you... and I want to do some shopping via email or phone, if possible... check for an email to owner of your announcements list... from Elaine.
I'm so excited for you! I heard about your store on a local email list, and when I drove past 42nd and Div just a bit ago I saw your sign and flipped--you're just up the road from my house! yay! I'll definitely be checking you out, and good luck!
Found my way here from Lime and Violet's Daily Chum. You're store looks like it's going to be a winner. Now I wish we were going to be honeymooning in Portland instead of Hawaii... Maybe some day we'll be able to take a yarny vacation trip up there and visit. I can't wait to hear about the first sales and the combinations that walk out your door. Make sure you have someone to take pictures and photolog the Grand Opening event.
(this is a different elaine than the first commenter) WOW! i found you thru the L&V chum blog and WOW!!! i'm so jealous of the people who will have you as their new LYS!!! all i can say is WOW!!! if i had you as my LYS, i would definitely not go back to anything else. simply amazing and wonderful and all the best to you!!! :o) as a spinner and dyer and knitter, this store speaks to me on all levels! Congrats!!!
I found your site through L&V. Your shop is going to be amazing. I totally love the concept. I am originally from Toronto and I go to Romni every time I go back to visit. I always wondered what I could do with all those 1 ply yarn in their basement...now I know. I really wish you were closer. All the best to you on your grand opening. Tannei
My friend in california sent me this link. When I moved to portland, I was sad that I couldn't find a non-snooty yarn store.
You have done what I've dreamed of doing, and doing it in a way I never got around to dreaming of. I'm going to try to come out on Saturday, as this is the coolest thing ever.

Heard about you on Ravelry about 5 minutes after seeing some pics of the shop on a Flick contact's site (http://www.flickr.com/photos/vj_pdx/). How awesome is your store?! Holy moly, I'm so visiting next time I'm in town.

Elaine--didn't get your emails, I'm sorry! Could you please try resending to info@yarniapdx.com? Not sure how to get a hold of you otherwise. Thanks!!
