LOVE LOVE LOVE this shop! Did I say LOVE ??? I wasn't born in the 'Burgh. I grew up in the south. My husband came south to go to college and we met right after. He asked me to get married and then asked me to move to Pittsburgh. We literally moved here the day after we got married. (In May we celebrate 28 years of marriage.). To say that I had culture shock is an understatement. For awhile I was extremely homesick. Then I decided to give this city a chance. I jumped in and fell in love. I have met and made friends with a very diverse group of people who all bring something wonderful to the table. We have raised our two sons here and I'm proud that they have had this opportunity. I said all of that to say that I LOVE anything that celebrates our city. I also have a great respect for artists and for supporting our local community. This shop brings all of that together-our city, small business, shopping local, and talented artists.
There was so much to see that I kept walking around. Each trip I saw different things. A few of my favorite items were the Pittsburgh Bucket List in a can. I'm dying to see what all is included. Every time I think I've seen everything there is to see in Pittsburgh I find something new. The print of the city bridges and the map of the boroughs were favorites. There was some amazing pottery/clay works that we're incredible. With wedding season coming i will be placing orders for gifts. Not to mention the kids corner with trains,onesies, and other cute items-just in time for baby showers. The staff is incredibly nice and welcoming. #shopsmall #shoplocal
