Its shelves are stocked with a wide variety of merchandise, including classic work wear, vintage goods, basic groceries, candies, flowers, perfumes and candles. It captures the history, geography and folklore of times past, when goods were less disposable and had more meaning, a time when people canned their own food and took a moment to converse with strangers. It is perhaps Blackbird&#39;s most personal store, as it is inspired by owner Nicole Miller&#39;s eccentric Pacific Northwest family and her desire to get back to basics.
