Making Tomato Sauce for the Winter? – Head to Lingerie Pina & Carmelo Sacco
Everything you need to mash and cook those tomatoes for canning your own pasta sauce can be found at Lingerie Pina & Carmelo Sacco – including a 100 litre pot (big enough to take a soak in)! If you have tons of zucchini, eggplant or peppers and you want to preserve them, this is THE place to find everything you may need – and it has been for generations.
The store has it all. It’s one that I love to browse through. You can find so many hard to find things here. Do you know where else to buy housecoats or cotton handkerchiefs? They have bedroom slippers too; If your size isn’t here, they will order them for you.
If you have a wedding planned this year, the Mother of the Bride could find an outfit, the bridal party too and you can even get bonbonnieres made-to-order and wrapped. They offer a Bridal Registry and there are gifts galore.
The name clearly does not define this family business as you’ll find and housewares: silverware, china, espresso makers and meat slicers. If you are looking for ecological cookware, they sell Cool Kitchen which has no PTFE, no PFOA and can be used for induction cooking. The Italian community knows to come here for Pizzel machines for cookies and Cavetelli machines for gnocchi, Those who like collectibles will find: Precious Moments, Walt Disney Collection and Disney Traditions by Jim Shore.
Designers are here to help you with curtains (free installation), and they have the exclusive Hunter Douglas Alustra line with copper and chrome headers. If you need them, there’s carpet runners by the yard – and also hard to find plasticized fabric by the yard.
I can’t believe I even scored a warm hood which I’ll have my dressmaker “zipper on” to my new travel jacket.
