As a designer who lives in and love the Finger Lakes I often go in search for the perfect object that will reflect my passion for the area. I couldn’t find what I was looking for, so I decided to create it ourselves and I wanted to share it with our local shops and vendors. If you own a gift shop in the Finger Lakes I made these for you!
Check this site often and always feel free to reach out if you don’t find what you are looking for. Perhaps the product that you want hasn’t been created yet and we can help!
