Mice – To Have and To Hold
This adorable collection of rodents are just made for loving and make great gift items for any child. I have given them to my family members for three years in a row. All I have gotten in return were a ton of smiles and happy squeals.

These and all the handmade toys are knitted from the softest yarns by very talented hands in amazing patterns by Sarah of Woodman Farms and are available for purchase by contacting her using the info below or at her booth at craft fairs and shows.

Mills Jewelers, 51 Main Street in Lockport, has collected hundreds of romantic engagement, anniversary, and proposal stories from couples all over the world and we have posted them on our website.
Our lives together have created many, many memories near the water.
It was a warm June evening, when an former co-worker invited me to dinner with some friends of his. As we attempted to dock his boat in the canal to grab dinner, my inability to toss a rope to tie up the boat still gets a smile when I boast my incredible rodeo roping skills. Who would have guessed that date would be the beginning of a really wonderful relationship?
Later that year, it was my birthday and my boyfriend had made reservations for a nice dinner on the waterfront. It was an unusually warm November evening. After a scrumptious dinner, we walked to the along the waterfront to the lighthouse.
It was the first birthday we celebrated together. We had been dating just six months so it was very unexpected when we reached the top of the lighthouse, had walked to the different sides to take in the view and he dropped to one knee and asked me to be his wife. He slipped a diamond ring onto my finger as I said yes. It was so dark I couldn’t see what it looked like. It was such a long walk back to car anticipating what I would see.
When we reached the car, I was finally able to see the most beautiful diamond ring I had ever seen – and it was mine. I have looked at this endless circle that represents our unending love every day since then with the same mesmerizing awe!

Mango Wedger Makes Mangos Easy and Delicious!
Sure mangos are delicious but who knows HOW to cut one up? Left? Right? And what about the bit along the big core – how do you not waste that juicy sweetness?
I have been looking all over for a mango wedger because I had seen one in a magazine but couldn’t find one – until now.
Vonda Westcott, Independent Consultant for the Pampered Chef had one in her store. So, I ordered it online with ease. Now I hope to be cutting my mangos with ease.
I have an amazing recipe for mango salsa that is to die for, and now I can use my wedger to make that recipe even easier to prepare.
That is what The Pampered Chef is all about – making your good cooking easier and even better.
You can see what’s in the online catalog and place an order like I did without a party. Just click here to visit Vonda’s online store.

A Stroka Gene-us Alpacas is a small family farm in Middleport, New York which is 20 minutes south of Lake Ontario next to the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge. We are five minutes from the Tonawanda Indian Reservation and in the heart of apple country, and only 15 minutes north of the I-90 at exit 48A.
All of our alpacas are ARI registered, BVD free and health checked with monthly wormings. At this time, we have 31 alpacas and our concentration is on raising great quality colored animals.

That’s right. When it comes to your kitchen cabinets, at Maedl’s it’s all custom made from the finest oak, cherry, hickory, and maple. Nothing comes from a box -we start with the raw lumber and cut it, work it, craft it into your kitchen that you design. That way you can make sure to use all of the unique spaces and places you have in your kitchen.
Got a strange shaped kitchen? No problem. We custom make all of our kitchens. Take a look at some of our craftsmanship with the kitchen photos at MaedlsWoodcrafts.NiagaraBuzz.biz.
Did you know that most cabinets that you buy at the large chain stores are chipboard, flakeboard or a vinyl-coated “simulated” wood? I bet you didn’t know that you pay just about the same for the real deal at Maedl’s Woodcrafts. That surprises a lot of folks, but you should know this when you are spending your hard earned cash.
We also offer high definition laminates for the new look in counter tops. Stop by our showroom to see how we take your investment seriously. Call us at 716-735-7631.
