You can really see Amelia's personality come to life through each of the unique handmade pieces. Suma located in Oakmont is a must visit place. It's located directly on the most charming street and her front patio just invites you right in. Her jewelry is all handmade right in their studio. Each item feels thoughtfully made, with details that add a personal, artistic touch to any outfit. Whether you're searching for a delicate gold layering necklace, bold statement earrings, or a ring that tells a story, there's something in Suma's collection that will speak to your individual style. The shop itself is warm and inviting, reflecting the care and craftsmanship behind the jewelry. It's the kind of place where you can take your time, explore different styles, and leave with a piece that feels truly yours. Whether you're buying for yourself or picking out a meaningful gift, Suma makes the experience feel intimate and elevated. It was like a museum of art as I looked around and admired all of her designs.

4.5 stars. Songbird Artistry is a local, family-owned business that sells merchandise that is made…read moreby over 50 local artisans as well as art classes. 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). I bought one pierogi magnet for five dollars. This magnet sticks well to my refrigerator in my kitchen, and it looks cute.

I've had my eye on this shop for some time now and was very glad to see them represented at the…read moreMingo Creek covered bridge festival. 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.

Everything from jewelry (like cool Pittsburgh bridge earrings), shirts, books, children's items, home decor, food items (like locally made mustards, pickles and ice cream). You can find something unique for anyone on your shopping list! I've gotten baby gifts, wedding/shower gifts, housewarming gifts and many "just because" because I fell in love with something. The staff is extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. They know a lot of information about the individual artisans and about Pittsburgh in general. You can find something for as little as around $5, but can spend hundreds depending on what you purchase. But it is absolutely worth it.

Have no fear, Maggie & Stella's is here to offer you kitchen trinkets, quilty bags, and costume jewelry to save your face. If the demographic you are shopping for is an old woman, a young woman with old lady taste, or a 40 year old woman who REALLY enjoys wine, you will easily find something that will please any of those groups. If you are shopping for someone else, it will be painfully obvious that you just picked something up here because it was close. Hopefully they will just appreciate your lack of forethought and not gift-shame you. You're better off finding a gift/card/other waste of money in the University Store (formerly bookstore).

My mom felt a little overwhelmed by the choices and timidly told the lady helping us. When my mom's head was down the lady gave her the nastiest look indicting to me like my mom was an idiot! I was upset and we left. Very hurt that they treated my mom that way. I was appalled at her brazenness to respond that way when I was watching her the whole time. No one should act that way let alone someone in customer service. Simply a terrible experience. Would save your money! I have to give it a rating but I would give it a negative star because of the immaturity of the staff.
