How Sweet It Is, Classic Confections

06/19/2026

Update:
Hi Everyone! As many of you may have noticed we haven’t been open as much as we’d like to be over the last month and a half. In late April Brian (our beloved candy maker / my husband) started experiencing some symptoms that landed him in the Emergency Room 3 times before finally being admitted into the hospital on the 3rd visit in May. It coincided with his 46th birthday of all days. He spent a long two weeks in the hospital and luckily was discharged in time to be present for our oldest Daughter’s High School graduation. We were hopeful that he was improving but on Tuesday I had to rush him to the hospital again. He was immediately admitted and because of that we are closed again. It’s a very difficult decision to make for us being a small business but my husband’s health comes first and I am prioritizing being at the hospital and being his advocate. We’re hoping to be back at it and seeing all your lovely faces soon but we are taking it one day at a time at the moment. We hope you understand and will keep him and our family in your thoughts and if praying is your thing a few of those would help too. Once we are back up and running I will post here and let you all know. We appreciate all of our customers from the bottom of our hearts and can’t wait to be back in the shop greeting you! Thank you to everyone’s support during these difficult times. Thank you to all the doctors, nurses, and staff at OHSU Hospital.
