Small baskets, candle holders, and containers?
by Jessica Sutara 22 Oct '15

22 Oct '15

Seeking free or cheap baskets and containers to make table centerpieces for a wedding. If you have anything lying around the house that you'd like to be rid of, please let me know! (Don't most people have a pile of baskets and/or candle holders somewhere that they don't use?) Old floral containers, vases, and/or tasteful raffia pieces would also work. Of course we'd prefer things that are in good shape. Thank you!

Hi, I found a cell phone on Wednesday near Wellesley and N St Clair. It says there is no SIM card, which makes tracking down an owner difficult. If it's yours, let me know! Dave

Bach Choir celebrates “Makers and Dreamers” I'll be singing in this concert and the music is quite nice. We'd love to see you there. To kick off its 81st concert season the Bach Choir of Pittsburgh has chosen to celebrate all those who dream and work to make America a beacon of hope to the world in concerts entitled “America: Makers and Dreamers”.. There are many inspiring musical pieces available that speak to the benefits or hard work and of appreciating what we have. Stirring poetry brought to life through song is a terrific way to tell this story. Artistic Director Thomas W. Douglas has chosen some of the best and most tuneful of these. The program for this musical pastiche includes: The Promise of Living Aaron Copland Frostiana (selections) Randall Thompson Shenandoah Gwyneth Walker Old American Songs (selections) Aaron Copland Make Our Garden Grow Leonard Bernstein About this production of America: Makers and Dreamers, Maestro Douglas says: “In considering how fortunate we are, it is fitting that we pay homage to those who came before and made our lives possible. Hard work and dreaming of a bright future is the watchword in these pieces by some great American composers. We are confident you will find inspiration in the selections included in our compelling season-opening concerts.” Join the Bach Choir in the beautiful refurbished Energy Innovation Center for these performances that display the Pittsburgh spirit of hard work.
