I truly adore all of Pittsburgh's cozy local card shops, but Wild Card is a stand-out favorite. It's one of the savory small businesses that give Lawrenceville it's funky flavor, and it's one of the must-go stops when I'm in the neighborhood.
Each and every item is a treasure; all are either locally crafted or carefully selected for the the shop.
Here, you can find : Enamel pins, fun iron-on patches, neighborhood themed candles, dozens of types of ribbon by the yard, working bird-call necklaces, unique patterned craft paper, and, naturally, CARDS. Pittsburgh-y cards, hip cards, hilarious cards, folksy cards, bookish cards, ALL THE CARDS.
I come in for a pick-me-up on dreary days. This shop is like happiness on cardstock. Next time you're in Lawrenceville, do yourself a favor and stop in!
