Ah, Thanksgiving....a time to relax, spend time with family and friends, and reflect on the things that bring us joy and comfort in the world. Don't stress about the food prep - avoid the last-minute grocery store rush and stop by the Public Market this weekend to pick up some fresh organic sweet potatoes, local wine, apples for pies, or a gift for your host!
A Little Bird Told Me...
Annie Oakley's Kitchen and Om Nom Bake Studio are accepting Thanksgiving pie orders for a couple more days! Place your orders for Annie Oakley's here, or for Om Nom, email info@omnombakestudio.com.
Jenn's Jems - the Pittsburgh/Brooklyn mother/daughter jewelry-making team - is donating 20% of their sales between now and Thanksgiving to the American Red Cross in honor of those affected by Hurricane Sandy. Read more about Jenn's personal experience with Sandy here.
Pittsburgh Public Market is open late (until 9 p.m.) this Friday, November 16th, for Light Up Night!
