However, I live alone and am responsible for everything, so sometimes I'm in a pinch, as was the case today. I was in need of extra money for bills and so decided to sell several dvds, some jewelry, my dslr camera, and vintage Dudson, Wilcox & Till china. I wanted to support a local business rather than use eBay, so I webt to the Leggs Diamond location in Big Apple Plaza around 11:55 am (they supposedly open at 11 am). The door was locked and there was a phone number on the door. I called the number and was told that the employee was taking care of her horses because it was hot and that she'd be there within the hour. Okay. I have to take care of my animals in the heat and still make it to work on time, but maybe the supervisor/owner is being flexible. I ran some errands and returned around 12:45 to find the door still locked with the sign still in the window. I called again and asked if I could be called when someone was there because I'd already made two trips out there. The man who answered called the person who was supposed to be there and said that she wasn't answering. I waited in the parking lot - wasting gas and battery because it's too hot to not have at least the fan blowing - until around 1 and then went home and listed my items on eBay. There was no apology and no effort other than one phone call and I wasted two hours and a lot of gasoline on my day off. If you have jewelry, go to Gold Leaf Refining in the New Hartford Shopping Center, and just deal with eBay for anything else.

Located way down on the left hand side of the center, it is not to be missed! Heartsome Handicrafts is a store that showcases various local crafters. They have everything you could imagine and more. It is like a year round craft show! The prices are so reasonable and the owner herself is a crafter. She is friendly and knowledgeable not only of her products, but of all of her crafters as well! If you see something you like but might be interested in a different customization many of the crafters are able to do so! My pawprint heart was made just for me! I also commissioned a wood portrait of one of my dogs that came out stunning. In the future I hopefully look forward to having a wool husky made from a picture of my other dog. All these things I probably wouldn't have been able to afford elsewhere. So many items are unique and for sure not just the same old things you see at fair after fair. Please check them out for yourself or to find a great gift!!!
