Happy Holidays!
We have a lot of favorites in the store (pretty much everything) but we've highlighted several modern design-driven gems that have been consistent winners in the gifting department. You might just end up gifting a lot of these to yourself ... and that's totally OK ;)

Today we're 2 and are feeling so grateful.
In two years we have witnessed first dates, families grow, shared sadness in loss, celebrated new jobs, new homes, and have shared our dreams and stories. We have been embraced by our community and we hope you feel embraced by us when you walk through the shop door.
This year we launched our online store and through it we hope to share not only our curation of goods to design enthusiast everywhere, but to also share a bit of the magic we feel in Downtown Raleigh.
Thank you, to each and every one of you for choosing to #shopsmall with us - can't wait to see what the next year brings.
We love Small Business Saturday!
Though #ShopSmall is an everyday effort, #SmallBizSat is a concerted annual spotlight on small independent stores that make their respective communities vibrant and unique.
We are honored to be a part of Downtown Raleigh and share bits of it with our online friends.
So skip the mall, shop your hood, and join us on Saturday November 25 for SPECIAL HOURS, 8am - 8pm. Not local? Shipping is on the house all weekend long with code YESTHANKYOU.

"If you’re a design-enthusiast heading to Raleigh, North Carolina, the first place you’re going to want to stop by after you get off the plane is Port of Raleigh, a shop owned by Ana Maria Muñoz who curates an impeccable collection of modern objects that are designed to elevate everyday living."
What a crazy honor it is to be featured in Design Milk! I've been a long time fan and reader of this global design blog so it's beyond exciting to share our store, our story, and our city with their readers around the world.

We are so honored to host a special PREVIEW EVENT for Ideal Space, an installation designed, built, and curated by students in the College of Design at North Carolina State University.
Ideal Space will be shown at the North Carolina Museum of Art from January 6th, 2018 through January 25th, 2018. The exhibition consists of products that viewers can interact with in a tactile and thought provoking way. The theme for the installation is "home" and each young designer will have the chance to interpret this in their own way through the products they design.
There's nothing like being a student; exploring your career interests and pursuing them with rigor. This collaborative effort is a great example of the world of possibilities when talent, passion, and community come together.
Please join us at Port of Raleigh for a Preview Event and meet the designers.
First Friday, October 6
6-9pm
The Preview will be on view through October 16.
