A Visit to Fresh Heirlooms

A few weeks ago, we decided to visit Fresh Heirlooms, located in New Kensington. Fresh Heirlooms moved to the neighborhood a little over a year ago, and is located at 887 5th Avenue. We are so glad to see new businesses in our neighborhood!

Fresh Heirlooms is a shop after our own hearts as they sell re-purposed items and etched glass. We spent our time investigating the nooks and crannies of the shop while chatting with one of the owners. Of course, we shared secrets and talked shop.

We picked up a couple of items including an etched humming bird vase. At one time, the vase was a wine bottle, but the amazing folks at Fresh Heirlooms cut, sanded, and etched the bottle to create a vase. It's just lovely, and will make a great gift.

We picked up a few other items including these fair trade pencils from India. Every now and then I just love using pencils to scribble ideas or quickly create a design. We purchased a hummingbird statue photo holder. This unique piece will also be a gift. Our purchases were nicely packaged in a handmade tote!


 




If you are in New Kensington, please stop by Fresh Heirlooms and check them out! We look forward to shopping there again soon. And we would love to work with them on some future projects!
