This is a new holiday market in Niagara Falls. Very easy street parking…read more It's in two venues across from each other on third street. Some 40 vendors, I think all local to NF. You'll find quite a few T-shirt stalls - quite varied options. Two booths of creative wreaths - they will last for years. Very large, creative and colorful. Reversible bow ties that win in creativity. They were awesome. I don't know anyone that wears bow ties or I would have certainly picked on up. Great idea. A few places selling mugs, from handmade buffalo themed to knitted mug holders. I recently found macrame pot hangers we made years ago, and I saw them here again. I guess they are back in style. One venue had live music, not too loud, which was really nice. A few places selling various bath bulbs, body scrubs, etc. Many scarf options, I picked one up as a gift. One of the most interesting stalls was called Brick Chick - she makes things for your garden. Very interesting. One site was more cramped than the other, making it a little tight. Great first year event for NF. 105/R-a-D Challenge

I reviewed the list of vendors the day before and I'm so glad I did…read more The event itself was a little overwhelming. So much to look at, so many people... I bought a couple bags of coffee from True Bean. Their coffee is absolutely delicious! It's whole bean coffee, maybe a little less convenient then pre-ground, but its WORTH EVERY PENNY! They were also offering pour over samples of their Ethiopian coffee. Its sooooo good! A dear friend of a friend, Billy Butski had a display of his photography. I had to buy a calendar. 12 beautiful images of the Falls, its gorgeous! The Sample Seed Shop was there with seeds. I bought several types of pepper seeds, and some kale seeds. Remy Rotella is very knowledgeable about the seeds she sells. I also got some catnip seeds that my kitties will surely enjoy, and some Thai Basil seeds that I'm really looking forward to growing. I love making Pad Thai but it's so difficult to find Thai Basil in local stores. I sampled some black garlic hummus from 3 Sisters Garlic that was rich, creamy and not overly garlicky but very tasty. I opted to purchase a black garlic butter. I think it'll taste great over steamed veggies. And lastly I bought a beautiful amethyst heart from Spiritual Landing. All together about $80 spent, including a donation to disabled veterans.

Just received these as a gift and our entire family is blown away by the quality and taste of these…read morecookies!!! 10/10 and we will be looking to buy these at every occasion!

We discovered Cuccidati Inc. at last weekend's fresh-air Valentine's Day Market at Buffalo Artisan…read moreFood Traders. Cuccidati Inc. had a booth at the event ... and they had me at the word "cuccidati". :-D LOVE these cookies! If you are unfamiliar, cuccidati are iced-and-sprinkled fig-filled Italian cookies. They're like a soft, delectable, gourmet, top-shelf, high-class, prettier Fig Newton, but way better, haha. Whenever I see an Italian cookie spread at a gathering, I always b-line for dibbs on the cuccidati. And Cuccidati Inc.'s cuccidati did not disappoint! These were a bit different from cuccidati I've had before. They weren't quite as sweet, not as thick-white of an icing as usual. And the filling seemed more natural, like more purely fig, as opposed to the more artificial extract flavor of some cuccidati. I do like the creamier cuccidati filling I'm used to, with more of a jam consistency. But these were good too, you could feel chewy bits of real fig fruit in each bite. If you prefer a cookie that isn't too rattle-your-teeth-sweet, you will probably enjoy Cuccidati Inc.'s cookies very much. We spoke with the owners when we were at the fresh-air market, and they were very sweet and friendly. They of course bake their namesake, but also bake many other cookies too. They don't have their own storefront, they sell by order, or at local venues and events. They are on the shelves at Buffalo Artisan Food Traders (https://www.yelp.com/biz/buffalo-artisan-food-traders-buffalo), so if you have a hankering for some delicious cuccidati, stop by there to grab a pack. Or check Cuccidati Inc.'s Facebook page for other upcoming local appearances - https://www.facebook.com/cuccidati.org - and mangia! :-D

I found Kornerstone coffee over a decade ago at the Tonawanda Farmer's market on a crisp autumn…read moreday. Left the house without my coffee (bad idea) so I grabbed a cup from their stand. Fragrant, robust, warm, and tasty. I was hooked. Went back and bought a bag. Went to the Farmer's market for years after just to get my coffee, which they would make to order and not an easy order - half dark, half medium, fine grind. But they always did it for me and the coffee was always fresh and delicious. Then they started delivery (way before pandemic) and I could get it delivered right to my door. And Laura, who answers the phone on the first or second ring, is the most pleasant, cheerful, helpful, knowledgeable person on the planet. I'm sometimes thinking I want to call up just to hear her sunny disposition to brighten my day. I love this company - great product and superior service.

I know that the pieces in the store (besides books, postcards, etc.) are handmade, but many prices are outrageous, and I've really had to hunt for things that I can afford. I will say that they have ordered earrings that I loved they didn't have from an artist I loved, and I didn't have to pay anything extra
