To Bernadette's Friends and Customers,
In the history of world commercial/artistic culture, very few things are ever new.
Portland---thriving, alive, sensitive, aware---is about to discover something new at Bernadette Breu's remarkable new business - no, more than a business - an experience. Bernadette Breu, EXPERIENCE is, and is not an "antique store" an "interior design studio", a source of the fine, the rare, the soul-soothing and personality stimulating.
It is all these, with infusions of atmospheres, informed tastes, and elements of personal zest
that make "the whole" of EXPERIENCE twice the sum of its parts. Nothing like this could exist
in most cities in the country, or Europe, but bits of all of these places are here.
Perhaps it takes Portland to produce a business of this rare character.
