Lawrenceville is so hip these days!…read more I stopped in here with my mom and marveled at all of the neat 3-D art on display. Then I ran across a gorgeous mosaic by Rachel Sagers and snatched it right up! The woman who helped me with my purchase was friendly and made sure that my art was carefully wrapped and ready for transit. The feel in the gallery is spacious and welcoming, and the art was so unlike other things I've seen. Some items are pretty pricey but it's great to browse. I would come here again for sure.

The Borelli Edwards art gallery is an absolute must visit if you find yourself near Lawrenceville…read more Rotating exhibits will always be able to peak your interest regardless of personal taste or preference. These exhibits will rotate from local up and comers to established artists for many years. Beyond the gallery this is a phenomenal place for all of your framing needs. As my wife and I travel to various destinations local art is our souvenir of choice with our walls in our house telling a story of our adventures. Joy does an incredible job understanding our style and willingly accepting any challenge we throw at her. We have now had close to 20 pieces framed with little direction other than big picture vision. She has never failed to delight us!! Lastly, Joy the owner is reason enough to visit. She is a wonderful and welcoming host that could gladly have you extend your planned 10 minute visit to over an hour. The conversation and friendliness are always a highlight. Why are you still reading my review? Go visit Joy!!

I'm always on the hunt for something unique to add to my ever growing collection of kitsch. This place definitely delivers when it comes to the unique. It's a rather small shop, or maybe it's quaint. Whatever it is, it is warm and welcoming as soon as you walk inside. I happened in here on a rather bleak day outside and being greeted by the owner when I walked in really made my day. I really enjoyed chatting with her. It not only made me feel welcomed in here, but I also felt that I was more inclined to purchase something since she had shown an interest of my being in her store. There is so much to be found in here that looking around you definitely get nostalgic. I had noticed items that reminded me of growing up. Things that you don't give a second notice while growing up, but grow to appreciate later in life. Bowls that remind you of a family dinner, a toy that reminds you of a family member or just an item that reminds you of a time that you were carefree. Pricing is reasonable and in my opinion, much better than other stores of this type. Although you may not find those bigger pieces what you will find here are some pretty great items that you won't find elsewhere in the city.

I was particularly enamored with the glasses and dinnerware in the backroom, and there was a wide selection of complete glass sets with pretty vintage designs.

My…read morefriend needed a birthday card for a friend and this was a wonderful spot to find locally made cards. This shop is filled with everything PGH. The shop person kindly welcomed us inside. Although it is a smaller store, it is filled with tons of goodies. You can find everything here from consumables like coffee beans to candles to even pierogi cat toys. I adored all the pretty local prints they had in the shop. Things were reasonably priced too. If you need to take home some artisan local PGH goods, this is the place to do it.

For the most part, I've worked with Cara, who knows a great deal about the artists the gallery showcases. With her good council and layaway, I've been able to develop a small collection of very collectible items.

But Evan, one of the staffers, was welcoming even after I told him about my modest collection. It was a quiet day, so he was able to show me how to discern better quality pieces that I could aspire to and took the time to answer questions about pieces and artists I was curious about. This is a well-established (opened in 1974) shop with a national reputation -- but without an attitude. I bought a beautiful pair of earrings for my wife and a highly detailed, but modestly priced, carving ("fetish") for a shamanic client. If you're a serious collector, you probably already know about this gallery. But if you're a beginner, or simply want to buy a unique one-of-a-kind gift, you'll still be happy here.

All they ask for is a donation of liquor or cash contribution-$20. If you are with a large group, I would suggest doubling the contribution, since it is really such a cool experience and I love supporting local artists. Everyone in our group were in awe of all the taxidermy and the creativity of the house. The tour is private and the couple who owns Trundle Manor limits the tour to eight people maximum. Can't really explain it, except something like the Adams Family meets Steam Punk. Great experience and thank you Velda for allowing us to your your home and giving us the narration.
