No Batteries No Screens Pure Fun! at Dragonfly Castle Toys
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.

On my way home Saturday night. I’d just come from Uncle Frank’s. Moon rise over West Mifflin. I was at a stop sign.
Clarissa Boutique and Parker Buttons Moved to Butler Street
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.

Family Heirloom 
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.

Are you a good speller? Did this rule help?

“Examples of exceptions to the rule: Sticking for the moment to the basic rule, “i before e except after c”… here are some exceptions…..beige, cleidoic, codeine, conscience, deify, deity, deign,
dreidel, eider, eight, either, feign, feint, feisty,
