Saturday evening Steve and I drove to the Lawrenceville neighborhood to see a wonderful art show: Millie Tersak A Retrospective at The Port on Butler Street.
Here is a photo of the artist Millie Tersak, who recently celebrated her 90th birthday. She’s standing in front of her painting Milly on a Chilly Easter Sunday. There were more than a hundred artworks in her show.
The show was curated by Mark Panza.
Clematis is in the buttercup family.

Signage on Butler Street. I drove by but no red light to take a safe pic. Pulled into lot and got out of car on my way home.
Dragonfly Castle Toys‘ motto is No batteries, no screens, pure fun.
I went shopping at the toy store on Friday before I went to Clarissa Boutique.
The proprietor Nan told me her store is in one of the oldest buildings in the city of Pittsburgh. Built in the 1840’s. She and her husband, along with an architect, have done a ton of work to make it a beautiful place.
It’s located at 4747 Butler Street in Lawrenceville hours listed below. And you can shop online.
I was happy to find Rhodia notebooks and stationery from Florence in addition to potholder loops, a moon puzzle and some surprise stocking stuffers for future gift giving for the grandchildren. There’s something for every age, including adults.
Supporting small local business is a good thing.

I drove to the South Side to buy buttons for a sweater. I discovered that Clarissa Boutique and Parker Button moved to 4603 Butler Street in Lawrenceville. “Your Exclusive Bridal & Wedding Accessory Destination!”
Jean and Gretchen welcomed me and remembered the blog post from 2011- Button Button Whose Got the Button?
Ten years ago, Laura got her bridal veil from the boutique for her wedding. It is a lovely store.
Need a landmark to locate them? They are located next door to the French Bakery La Gourmandine.
How about that Capodimonte lamp? A perfect home for the family heirloom of Gretchen’s family with the romantic porcelain couple in the beautiful bridal boutique.

I was parked on Butler Street in Lawrenceville.
My phone in hand.
A truck pulled up to the red light alongside my car -and stopped. I felt a presence. Looked up and out the driver’s window.
Oh, hello there!
Light turned green. The chef appeared. The truck pulled away into the flow of traffic.
Guess it’s finally a Six Word Saturday for me
