Art Prize
2013
The Harris Building
You may remember this photo
from a post I did a few weeks ago,
with a view of some of the 2013 art entries located
in the Harris Building
in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
At that time I remembered catching a glimpse of
a shop located on the main floor of the building.
I was curious . . .
Fast forward to a few days ago
when my friend Babs
mentioned a new pasta place she heard about in
Grand Rapids in the Harris Building..
So off we went looking for the
Bingo, there was the shop I had seen during Art Prize.
Better yet, it wasn't just a shop
it was filled with homemade pasta
soup mixes, spices, vinegar and oils, prosciutto, cheese and much more.
Plus it is set amidst the old wood beams,
mortar and brick walls of this restored building.

I'm drooling, and if it wasn't over the border and far away I would be knocking at their door.
But I have a pasta maker, and creativity, that will have to do for now.

Lynne, what a cute and neat store! I love pasta and would not be able to leave without buying some. The art is cool too. Have a happy day!
what a super cool place and fantastic photos-I felt like I could smell the aromas just looking at them!
Nice re-cap Lynne! It was a fabulous find. Let's go back for coffee and chocolates soon!
That looks like such a cool place. Makes me hungry just from your pictures. The classes are intriguing too. How fun!
Looks like a wonderful place to visit.
What a fabulous place, Lynne. I would love to shop here. It's a feast for the eyes and soul, as well as the tummy. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful shop.

I'm not a big pasta fan but I certainly am impressed with this beautiful shop! Wow. The architecture is amazing enough but the pastas look very interesting. I think they'd make great gift ideas.
Fresh pasta...there is nothing better. I can't wait to see the wreaths.
Lynne...Christmas wreaths...WHY am I not back there with you?? How great to go to a place like this pasta place! It's amazing, wonderful! I am going to send your blog to my daughter in law so she can see. She owns a restaurant.
