    Traveling With Toys
    If you’re lucky enough to have travel plans this year, you might be trying to figure out the logistics of taking intimate toy(s) along on the trip. We have all heard at least one horror story of airport security agents pulling a pleasure accessory out during a random search and waving it around in front of a crowd of people. There are many ways to avoid those awkward encounters but also, there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. A healthy intimate life is something to celebrate! To help you plan ahead, here are some things you should think about when planning to travel with toys.

  • The Right to Healthcare for ALL Humans

    The Right to Healthcare for ALL Humans
    Here at Vespertine Boutique, we believe we would be doing a disservice if we continue to talk about pleasure without talking about the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade. We have a deep and abiding belief that every person has a singular right over their own physical and psychological well-being.

    Join us for Girls Night In with Vespertine Boutique!

    As many of you know, the beloved annual event "Girls' Night Out", has been cancelled due to the rising number of Covid cases on the Olympic Peninsula. We at Vespertine fully support the Jefferson County Health Department and PT Main Street Program as they take the necessary steps to keep us safe.

    HOWEVER...

    We still want to have some fun and raise money to expand the services and access to breast healthcare locally!

    So, for the ENTIRE month of October, 10% of our online sales will go to Jefferson Healthcare Foundation, directly benefiting Jefferson Healthcare's Women's Clinic and convenient, local access to services.

    DIANE URBANI DE LA PAZ: Stepping into the light

    A quiet revolution is happening in the middle of downtown Port Townsend. I say quiet because the Vespertine Boutique, which has been open 11 days now, is a peaceful refuge.

    The store is filled with art, candles, sofas, soft lingerie, books and toys for people older than 18. Owner Jaime Jaynes, 42, dreamed up this place based on her upbringing here plus her career elsewhere, plus her hopes as a 21st-century woman.

    “In botany, a vespertine flower is one that opens or blooms in the evening, ” according to the shop’s website. In the front window of the store at 914 Water St. is Jaynes and the company’s credo.

    “We support lifelong sexual health. We recognize intimate relationships and experiences change as our bodies age … our mission is to offer the best products and resources to support more pleasurable and safe experiences for our clientele at any stage of life.”
