Best place to find Finger Lakes arts and crafts

The awe inspiring beauty of the Finger Lakes is also an effective muse for artists and craftsmen in the area. There are many local shops where you can find their creations, but here are the Finger Lakes innkeeper's recommendations on the best place to find Finger Lakes arts and crafts:

Skyland Farm

It's a great place to visit. They have pottery, jewelry, toys, brooms; you name it from local artists and craftsmen that are both unique and beautiful. An added plus is animals and something for the kids to do AND a café with GREAT deserts. Located on the East side of Seneca Lake, (Rt. 414 near Hector) ~ Glenda Nash - Gentle Giants Bed and Breakfast

This is upscale, and features the work of very talented artisans. Products include pottery, jewelry, copper sculptures as well as the more ordinary soaps, candles and food products. The cafe is a delicious bonus. ~ Donna Cunningham - Yale Manor B&B

The Wind Mill

This endeavor represents one of the most eclectic outlets we have ever seen.  You can find anything there from impeccably crafted genuine leather handbags to hand cut and engraved crystal wine glasses, gorgeous hand made quilts, table ware, clothes, and even pillows and comforters with your favorite animal's hand painted photo likeness.  In addition there are lots of booths selling homemade Mennonite bakeries, lots of produce and even fabulous cuts of fresh meats.  ~ Terry and Bob - Keuka Overlook B&B
