Rain, rain, go away!

Let's just hope tomorrow is a nice day for our Three River load in. This year we bought a tent, instead of renting it, so we have to set it up and we are really hoping that it will be about 75 degrees and sunny.
We are trying out some new displays, so today we need to make sure they are all going to work. Nothing like leaving things to the last minute!
Everything in the tent will be new fresh art -- make sure you stop by and see us. We will be in Gateway Center near the fountain. See you soon!!

Three River's starts this Friday!!

Here is Greg and Aileen setting up for last years Three River's Arts Festival. We will be there again this year all 10 days so be sure to stop by and see us.
We will have pieces from:
Audra Azoury
Edric Florence
Vi Laux
Karen McKee
George Lampman
Robert Strovers
Michelle Lanier
Aileen Lampman Francioni
Scott Hunter
Linda and Greg Mitchell

Planet Art is on Etsy

Unfortunately on Etsy we cannot show multiple artists work, but we do have a page and some of our artists also have pages.
I think Etsy is a great way to shop. All made by crafts people from all over the world. So far I have had all great experiences.

Check out our etsy, Molly Hunters Etsy, and Aileen Lampman Francioni's Etsy, here:

Planet Art is now closed. We may open a bit the second week in March to sell off the displays and the last bits of inventory.

Greg and I will be at the Pittsburgh Home and Garden Show Feb. 27- March 8 under the Mitchell Glassworks banner on level two space # 3140. We will have loads of Melted Bottle Cheese Plates and Pittsburgh bottle cap magnets. In the future you can find the Mitchell Glassworks Melted Bottle Cheese Plates at the Gifted stores in Mt. Lebanon and McMurray.

Also please check out our friend and friendly neighborhood artist Scott Hunter who will be having a few pieces in an art auction at Elan Gallery in Sewickley.

Ai Jewelry (Aileen Lampman) and Jason Amstutz Glass will now be found locally at Handworks/Create-a-Frame on Washington Rd.

Enrico Biscotti has left Washington Rd

I noticed today that Enrico Biscotti has given up on their Washington Rd location. I read occasionally on Blog Lebo about what businesses we need uptown and I think the truth is that what we need is people to at least occasionally commit to shopping uptown. I had one person come into the shop today, ONE!
