The Stillroom

Over the years of creating a retail shop, the last few years have  been the most important for me as a buyer. 

It has become  very clear that it is important to stock The Stillroom with as much as I can find that is made locally and in the USA. 

 I have been  supporting the following businesses  in the area such as  La Peri Dolci in Penn Hills, La Prima in Pittsburgh, Fernwold Reproductions of Derry, Divani Chocolate Boutique of Foxburg, and Gemini of Zeli.  Expanding into Harney Teas of New York, Stash Teas of Oregon, Laini’s  Ladies, The Porcelaine Garden from California,  Mailable Greetings along with the baby onsies, copper bubblewands, terrific hand lotions from Illinois and much more.

Take note also that we have finer quilting fabrics from Quilters Delights that went out of business last year.  We are helping the former owner Rosie by giving her shelf space in The Stillroom so that quilters and sewers in the area do not have to go far to find beautiful textiles for hand made projects!

I am going to continue in this direction with  the hope that we all can survive this awful recession.  Now that we have what hopefully is a pro active president in place, the Steelers have the trophy, Phil has seen his shadow, it is time to pull up the bootstraps and get on with the business of digging out.

We will be blessed with some warm weather this coming week and along with that the signs of spring and regrowth should be observed.  Take note of the few birds that will be audible upon awakening, the melting of all of this snow and the back ups at the local carwashes. 

In the meantime, The Stillroom will be doing what it has tried to do best and that is to continue to be here for anyone who wants to come and enjoy small town shopping.  Weather it is for a quick gift or good coffee or tea, I will do my best to bring the best to you!
