I stopped in this charming shop during my visit to Aspinwall. I had the opportunity to talk with…read morethe owner Madeleine Byers about what this small business has to offer. It is basically an antique shop however, they sell jewelry, gardening rods.and they specialize in furniture refinishing. She is also into estate sales and along with her assistant are able to transform a lot of "hard to part" with items into something reusable for an interested buyer. She showed me some of the wood pieces they had refinished and they also sell chalk paint if you wish to do the job yourself. She told me it was a good type of paint and she used it to paint her floor. She also does custom orders so if you aren't handy with refurbishing that old piece of furniture they will do it for you. She showed me some perfume bottles that were once sold in the old Kaufmann's department store. She sells a lot of brass items as well. I loved browsing and looking at the artwork made on some of the pieces and even some of the lamps they were selling. I was taken aback by a lovely picture frame that was made out of unwanted estate jewelry. I thought the frame was beautiful but I didn't want it to be overbearing. We tested it with a picture she had in the store and it really added to it. The one they had was 5x7 which she measured. I told her I had an 8x10 of my late mother but I have disposed of practically all her jewelry some time ago. She told me she could make a frame for me if I brought the photo in and custom design it. I also loved seeing the old hanging monkeys around an adorable rocking horse. Depending upon what you buy it can get to be a bit pricey. She told me the price is contingent on all the work put into it. The most important thing is that everything is final sale. I must stress that so know before you go. She told me that they got a lot of business before mother's day with families buying refurbished vases. There were only a few left and they were absolutely breathtaking! This shop is at the end of a one way street near Luke and Finch. You can either pay park in the metered lot or you get one hour free parking on the next street over which is one way the other direction. It is worth a visit and a good contact in the event you need handle an estate.

The merchandise includes jewelry (e.g., necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and pins), apparel (e.g., gloves, hats, t-shirts, onesies, and bibs), bath products (e.g., soaps, beard balm, aftershave, and shower steamers), foods (e.g., olive oil, vinegar, seasonings, and dog and cat treats), stationery (e.g., stickers, greeting cards, and magnets), and home decor (e.g., candles, coasters, prints, and knick-knacks).

Their jewelry is locally hand made and goes anywhere from traditional to whimsical motifs including Harry Potter, Disney, Hamilton the musical, mosaics, and even dried flowers! Their booth only carries a limited selection of what's in the store where they have partnered with local food vendors such as Olive and Marlowe, as well as other Pittsburgh vendors to sell you almost anything. You can find stickers, clothing, caps, coasters, keychains, soap, candles and so much more! I was able to chat with Jenny who is one of the owners of the business who told me that they offer various craft classes in the store as well as unique themed parties such as Harry Potter for kids. If attending a class is not your bag because of the pandemic then on occasion you can purchase a craft kit in store and arrange for a Zoom class on a particular day to make your craft. They are very flexible when is comes to meeting people exactly where they are. You can find most anything on their website. Have something in particular in mind? Just contact them and they will accommodate your every need. During my visit I picked up two pairs of earrings with surgical steel backs. Jenny gave me some rubber stoppers with my purchases to insure they won't get lost. I purchased a pretty teardrop stud earring set and the Hamilton inspired earrings. I'm all set to enjoy one of my favorite Broadway musicals-"Hamilton." I also learned they do "Wicked the musical" jewelry if you are fond of that show. It's a great place to buy local made arts and crafts showcasing Pittsburgh. Although they are based in Lawrenceville across from Children's hospital, you may run into this business at various events with the last one I saw them at was VegFest. They were also at Picklesburg. Jenny told me that If I ever make to the shop itself the cheapest parking is at Children's Hospital across the street for $3.00. Not a bad deal if you are looking for parking in the area. Will be looking forward to visiting their store this fall to check out their other offerings.

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.
