A new boutique, Fly Haberdash-
ery, opened in December inside the
French Quarter boutique mall, 3530
SW Multnomah Blvd. Owner and lo-
cal artist, Lux Jacques, who recently
moved from Colorado, was looking
for a place to set up shop when she
bumped into the French Quarter.
Jacques was originally looking at
buying the fish cart that was for sale
at the time, but decided to take her
business inside after meeting prop-

The boutique features unique,
handcrafted hats, bowties, pins,

jewelry, and paintings all created
by Lux.
“I grew up on an almond orchard
in the foothills of the California
Sierra Nevada,” Lux told The Post.
“My grandfather took me fishing
and hunting.”
Thus began her love of the out-
doors.
Jacques creates earrings and pins
resembling fishing flies adorned
with colorful feathers. Her wood-
brimmed hats are laser etched and
made of alder, cherry, and Baltic
birch. Jewelry pieces include lichen
and wood objects encased in resin.

that the Oregon Department of Trans-
portation allow a speed limit reduc-
tion to 25 miles per hour, although
they are expecting only a reduction
to 30 mph.
The Bureau of Environmental Ser-
vices is the other key partner on this
project. Gonzales-Baird shared de-
signs for a multi-faceted stormwater
management system to manage run-
off from existing and new roadway
surfaces.
“There will be a mile-long mainline
pipe from Southwest Brugger Street
to 49th Avenue that turns, then travels
to Garden Home Road,” Gonzales-
Baird said. “This is a stormwater pipe,
not a sewer pipe.
“There will also be 24 green streets
mostly five feet wide. These are for
removing solids and micromanaging
the gunk off roadways.”
Gonzales-Baird explained that there
are conflicts with existing water or gas
mains with 23 out of 24 locations. In
the coming months there will be sur-
veying, geotechnical, and ecological
tests. There will be four basins in all to
capture stormwater. The biggest one
will be near the U.S. Post Office (40th
Avenue and Multnomah Boulevard)
“Be sure to check out the city’s
website for the complete presenta-
tion,” Lyons said. “The site features
not paying attention to,” she said.
Lux plans to have fashion and
art shows, invite local musicians to
play, show films, and cross-market
items with several other merchants
in Multnomah Village. She also plans
to start holding classes.
“As an artist,” she said, “you need
to be driven, produce sweat and
tears, and put your blood into it.
There is no such thing as a struggling
artist if you have these traits.”
Fly Haberdashery is open Thurs-
day through Sunday, noon – 5:30
p.m., or by appointment, at 530-230-
8742. More information can be found

one thing neighbors could do is be
friendlier to developers.
“Try to weigh in on projects with a
positive attitude and not try to stop
me or appeal until the cows come
home,” O’Brien said. “We had de-
signed a nice plaza at the Multnomah
apartments but the city made us fill it
in with more retail space.”
Several members said they would
like to work with O’Brien.
“We love the place we live,” said
Stuart Rounds. “Thank you for listen-
ing to our ideas. How can we work
together to ask for a variance?”
According to the city, variances are
given only if the process goes through
a design review, but since the project
meets all required community design
standards, no review will take place.
“We are still in the early phases,”
Schultz said. “We are working out
costs, looking at builders, and hoping
to break ground in 2018.”
Schultz said it would take one year
to complete the project.
