| - This new/relocated business opened just last week, and it is everything I had hoped it would be. If you're familiar with Liberty Ave. in Mt. Lebanon, no doubt you passed by or even stopped into Kool Kat Designs, a tiny store with locally made jewelry and artwork. Artsmiths of Pittsburgh is the new incarnation of that now defunct business. They're now located in "the barn", a huge space that was once Rollier's Hardware, and then a hobby store in its last life. It's a perfect location for them, as they now have enough space to truly showcase the beautiful art, jewelry and textiles that people enjoy looking at and buying. All of the offerings here are created by local artists, which is another great reason to support them. They even have a roomy cafe where you enjoy a cup of coffee, pastry or lunch. As of his writing, they are still working on the lower floor of the building, so there will more to come, such as classes and perhaps even live music. This is a wonderful place to buy that one of a kind gift for someone special, and you get to feel good about if too, as you'll be supporting a truly local business.
