We hope that you will be able to join us for this festive and warm giving event. Then on Thursday Evening December 4th, from 2-4 and from 6-9:30pm I am sending out a personal invitation to join the "Haute metals" (a collective of Pittsburgh silversmiths that I am a member of) for a stress free holiday shopping experience! Also included in our holiday open house & sale will be BellaSweets, Pittsburgh's gourmet pretzel & apple company offering a wide variety of gift items and tasty treats, and there is more...KewPerk Coffee, world best coffee direct from Jamaica.

Feel free to invite a friend or two! If you are interested in attending send me a message and I will give you the address! In addition to the two public events this week, I have several private functions that I am thrilled and honored to be a part of. If you are interested in adding music to your holiday gathering, there is still time! Thank you all for your support and Happy Holiday to everyone of you! Peace, Tania Grubbs

[Highland Park] Epson printer cartridges size 8-BLK
by Claudia K Viehland 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

I recently bought a new Epson printer, which uses 5-BLK and 8-cyan, magenta and yellow-- but does NOT use 8-BLK. I have two extra cartridges still sealed for sale to other Epson users... Staples sells them at $16.97 each -- but I'll sell 'em for $20 for the pair rather than throw them out or turn them in for only $6. Give me a call- I'm home most days. Kim Claudia K.

[Highland Park] Spare Swiffer?
by Michelle Wahila 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Hi Neighbors, Does anyone have a spare Swiffer Wet Jet that has been junking up their closet that you want to give away? I would like to try it, but am not willing to commit to buying one before I do! I figured someone might have one that they haven't used in ages and just want to be rid of. In which case, I will gladly take it off your hands, freeing prime space in your closet for a different cleaning product. Thanks! Michelle
