Pittsburgh has my heart. I love walking everywhere; to shops, restaurants and cafes as I pass the murals and empowering signs in yards and windows. Upon arrival on this trip, I observed a kindness mailbox outside Songbird Artistry. I was intrigued and when it opened on Tuesday morning, I was there first thing. This shop was everything that I hoped that it would be; the happy vibe, bright colors, gorgeous artwork and handcrafted jewelry and culinary products...I wanted it all, but alas had to fine tune my selections, for now! I expressed my excitement to the owner and she graciously gave me a tour and shared the meaningful stories behind the various artists' creations. It made such an impact and I felt such a connection to their artwork.
I highly recommend this business. Things to not miss; the "Truth Be Told" exhibit upstairs and Ruthie, the owner's dog. Just go. It is more than a shopping trip, it is a wonderful experience!

Ā Ā Ā Read moreA great place to find locally made arts and crafts along with jewelry, food, keychains, coasters, and many other Pittsburgh themed merchandise.
They offer craft classes both in house and on Zoom. Some of their new designs features Harry Potter, dried flowers earrings, and even Disney jewelry.
Prices are very reasonable and they stand behind their work.
They also partner with local vendors to bring you the best of Pittsburgh. They are will work with you to accommodate your needs if looking for something specific.
Although they are based in Lawrenceville you can find them now and then at various craft fairs and events happening throughout the year.
Definitely worth checking out if you are near...

I ALWAYS get random compliments on the street when wearing the bigger pieces, especially the cockatoos. The smaller ones are perfect for tamer days. At first I thought the prices were a bit of a splurge but these bring such joy and positive attention to my days that it has been 100% worth it. I also love knowing I'm supporting a local artist. She is just so kind and lovely every time I see her selling at a festival. My only negative so far is that one of my cockatoos lost a "tail feather" piece after 2 months of wear. I'm hoping if I go to the store we can fix it. Still fully...
