We just celebrated our 30th anniversary with dinner at Fig & Ash. One of my favorite dishes there is the Heirloom Carrot starter. I have tried creating different versions of this at home over the years. Here is one to try. But if you haven't been to Fig & Ash, you should check it out. This recipe highlights another local business, Chantal's Cheese Shop. If you love cheese, you should be shopping here!

A few local businesses inspired today's recipe. We celebrated our 30-year anniversary the other evening at Fig & Ash, a wonderful local bistro. This tiny restaurant on Pittsburgh's north side has some creative food and cocktails. We have dined there several times and decided it was a perfect place f...

Well, the first trip of retirement is in the books. I just returned from 2 weeks in St John. In case you haven't heard, I started a travel and food blog to share my adventures. Hopefully, you will check it out, and we can stay in touch. I'm also working with Barb on a few posts to share what she's been up to (she's actually been traveling more than me!).

I spent two wonderful weeks exploring the beaches on St John, USVI. The North Shore is where most people head when searching for the perfect beach. The island of St John is blessed with so many beautiful beaches it will seem complicated to choose one on which to spend the day. Each beach is unique,....

It's a simple, but a heartfelt phrase. Thank You!

Today is our last day at Allison Glen. And although we are excited about our future adventures, as we retire from retail we will miss seeing all of you.

Please know how much we have appreciated your support and friendship over the last 17 years. We will occasionally update you on what we are doing and great places to shop for our lines locally. And we hope to hear from all of you as well.

Thanks!
Barb & Tim

This post comes with mixed emotions, both excited about the future and sadness for an end to an era. We (Barb and Tim) have decided that 2023 is the year to retire from Allison Glen. Our current lease is complete and all the stars have aligned to make the timing right.

We have had a great 17-year run in Wexford. We have met so many great people and enjoyed sharing in their lives. Over the years we have laughed and even cried with so many of you.

When we opened our doors in 2005, we never could have anticipated how much meeting all of you would impact our lives. You have supported us through some tough times, personally and business-wise. We have weathered recessions and even a worldwide pandemic together. We have shared in your celebrations and watched your families grow over the years. We have also shared both your loses and our own losses together. All of which have been a great privilege for us both.

Our doors will close one last time at the end of January. But between now and then please stop by to visit. We will be having a huge RETIREMENT SALE starting on Tuesday, January, 3.

We sincerely want to thank every one of you for your support and friendship over the last 17 years!

Due to the crazy weather today, we plan on opening a little late. We hope to be open by 12:00 today and stay open until 5:00 pm. See you this afternoon. Be Safe!
