Shop Local Art and Artisans

Here is a (growing) list of local NY makers who have gift-able items available for the holidays that can be purchased without leaving home–with links to their sites

Scroll down to see earlier entries (feel free to send us others, and we will add them in).*

The Fuzzy Bunny

The shop is open on Saturdays from 10-6 (and also by appointment). Curbside pickup is available if you prefer to not enter the store. We can ship orders if you contact us directly. Some items are also available in the online shop. CrafterZoom takes place every Saturday at 1:00 online: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/551998975 (contact store to join).

OUR COLLECTIONS

The Fuzzy Bunny creates beautiful, practical, and sustainable items in the Finger Lakes Region of New York.   Everything is created by hand in small batches from thoughtfully sourced materials.  We hope to stimulate your senses with soft fiber, lovely colors, and intriguing scents.

Twisted Willow Fabrication

Twisted Willow Fabrication in Geneseo, NY

An ornament that arrived in the mail for Owl Light News.
These folks can do anything, and enjoy the small custom work as much as larger jobs. On the back is the Owl Light News heading with 2020 (and a paw print).

They are all about human connections and that personal touch – for you or your company (and they are big dog people to!).

“Twisted Willow Fabrication owner, Doug Mothersell, has 35 years of experience as a mechanic and fabricator in Heavy Equipment, Fleet, and Industrial settings. In addition to the Commercial and Industrial experience, Doug has also frequently helped homeowners and artists see their designs come to life. This range of experience gives Twisted Willow Fabrication a broad understanding of your needs in metal fabrication.”

Books, Books and More (locally-purchased) Books

As I though more about how we can shop creatives, and creatively, online while supporting local, I thought about literary-arts creatives. There are many local book stores across our region. Not all have online, but all are available by phone and will hand over books curbside or send. They can also order new and used books (often for less than you can order them for—they have “ins”).

Here are some local shops (happy to expand on this):

Sulpher Books in Clifton Springs
The Book Den in Dansville, (585) 335-6805
Sundance Books in Geneseo
Lift bridge Book Shop in Brockport
Autumn Leave in Ithaca

Artful Holiday

ARTFUL HOLIDAYS – The 32nd annual holiday boutique returns for its 9-day run Friday December 4th at the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts in Mt. Morris. The juried fine arts and craft show features more than 30 area artists and vendors with unique gifts. Items for sale will also be available online.

The Soap Hag

“Lynn Schapp is The Soap Hag’s owner and artisan soap maker. Her expertise lies in the ingredients used to make natural soap, which is the foundation of this natural soap company. Every single product from The Soap Hag is made by hand by Lynn, herself. Lynn takes great care in formulating natural soaps and lotions to bring the most nutritional benefit to your skin. “

*Some of these are past or present Owl Light sponsors or people we have featured, others are just folks we have heard of or know who create and sell locally…spread the art and the love. There are many other local art creators and sellers who might not have online; if you can get out to shop and buy locally, look for locally made items.
