As we walked into the Foxcare Center on Saturday morning there was this very long table that was covered with sheets. I was curious as to what could be underneath it and thrilled to find that it was all hand made chocolates just in time for Easter! Laura Haney of Laura's Chocolates makes the most delicious confections from real chocolate not flavored wafers. I was fortunate to sample a piece of her chocolate covered pretzels. Well, she takes them to a whole new level by covering them with caramel before dipping them in chocolate and decorating them. DELICIOUS!!!!! Laura makes a variety of shaped chocolates including some very cute deviled eggs. You can view some of Laura's designs on Facebook - Laura's Chocolates and Custom Designed Cakes.
Food is always a hit at craft shows so I was especially pleased to sample The Dip Bowl's dips, desserts, and oils. Donna has an amazing selection of dips including Piping Hot Pepper Jack, New York Cheesecake Dessert Mix, and Aloha Pina Colada Dessert Mix. I decided that I had to buy some but had a very hard time choosing. I couldn't possibly buy they all! Unfortunately, she does not have a webpage but you may be lucky enough to find her at one of the many craft shows throughout NYS.
Have you ever heard of maple cream? I haven't, but because of Shaver-Hill Maple I now know what it is - maple syrup whipped to spread like butter. Shaver-Hill Maple carries maple cream as well as a wide variety of syrups, maple candies, and the most beautiful wooden cutting boards I have ever seen! They are family owned and operated since 1912 and located in Harpersfield, NY. Harpersfield isn't convenient for you? No problem! You can order from their website www.shaverhillfarm.com.

If you ask me, April's birthstone, diamonds, would look gorgeous in any shape or form; however, it can also get very pricey so why not enjoy the look of diamonds without the price with this beautiful necklace and bracelet set? Using Czech fire polished crystals I created a stunning white set that sparkles in the light. While it would be gorgeous on anyone it would be perfect for a bride or member of a bridal party! Please send me a message if you would like to purchase this set. (dbabin731@gmail.com)

Until Next Time...
