24 Gifts of Pittsburgh: Paper Sculpture Kit from Resident Design

December 15, 2015 Lindsay

paper lion head scupltureA lion, a penguin, a bull, a walrus and a mammoth, oh my! Resident Designs offers kits that allow you to create a paper sculpture of your favorite creatures.  Puzzles and gingerbread house kits have become a holiday thing in my family. It Thanks to Trader Joe’s we’ve already made a gingerbread turkey on Thanksgiving Day. I think this is the perfect gift for some holiday family bonding time.

Show Your Love for PGH by Shopping PGH this Holiday Season

November 17, 2008 Lindsay

Image by lil moe72 via FlickrOne of the easiest ways to support Pittsburgh is to spend your money locally. One of my hopes for this blog is to connect more people to the local businesses here in Pittsburgh. With the start of the holiday season, I can’t believe it is already the holiday season – I tried to ignore the robotic Santa Claus that started singing at Costco before Halloween was even here. But after stopping by the Shady Side Presbyterian Church Bazaar last weekend, I can no longer pretend that the Holiday Shopping Season is weeks away. I know… Read the rest
