If you’re anything like me, you’ve waited to do all your holiday shopping until this weekend - and you’re just now digging out the wrapping paper and bows. But instead of running around to 20 different stores this year, I’m doing all my shopping at the Ithaca Farmers Market.
YOUR LOCAL NEWS IS MADE POSSIBLE WITH SUPPORT FROM:
Here’s a list of my top 10 picks - each item made by hand by a person in our community, each an expert in their craft. Shop the market for two more Saturdays: December 14th and 21st. These thoughtful, unique items are sure to please the mom, dad, cousin, sister, brother, friend, coworker and partner on any list!
