How it all began

The Arrangement has been delighting customers for over 40 years! It's a great place to shop for beautiful gifts, home decor, women's clothing and jewelry. The Arrangement is known for having the best greeting card selection in Portland.

 

Sue Mautz founded The Arrangement in 1980. She evolved her original passion for flower arranging at Saturday Market into a brick and mortar location on NE Fremont Street. Her boutique was filled with her designs and those crafted by other local artists. After three years in her original space, Sue made the decision to purchase and transform a 1924 gas station, which was located across the street. In this new building, The Arrangement initially shared retail space with a coffee shop and wallpaper store. Over the next several years, Sue expanded her retail footprint to the entire building and continued to develop this this thriving and well-loved lifestyle boutique in the Beaumont neighborhood.
