Meet Our Vendors!

Hi, my name is Christina and I’m a mom of two beautiful babies who enjoys using my hands, creating and coming up with new ideas and designs. I started my business in 2018 “Chriseebychristina” with a motto of Adding Beauty To Any Room. 

We create intricate layered and single wooden works of art for your walls by employing a laser cutting machine that carves each design to perfection. Most pieces are made using Baltic Birch, and each can be stained and finished to your desire to create a totally unique centerpiece to any room. 

Tees & Totes Co. was founded in 2022 with the mission of “Spreading awkward smiles one shirt at a time.” After years of quilting and crafting, I shifted my focus to creating custom-designed shirts and totes that mix sarcasm with a sprinkle of chic. We believe that sometimes a well-timed, sarcastic smile can turn someone’s day around. Our designs are meant to do just that—bring a little humor, some quirk, and a lot of fun to everyday life. 

Ring and Stave Barrel Co. was formed in December of 2023 by husband-and-wife team Paul and Shelly.

Paul, the master craftsman, has been honing his skills over the past 45 years. Having been taught his expertise solely by his "Pop-Pop" in his home shop as a young boy. Like his Pop-Pop who was a career FDNY firefighter, Paul has dedicated his life to a career in Emergency Services, first as a Firefighter on Long Island. During his time there he responded to Ground Zero after the attacks of 9/11. Subsequently spending several years working for FDNY as a Fire Dispatcher. Currently, Paul works as a Dispatcher for Police, Fire and Ems in a major Connecticut city. Using the skills handed down to him, he designs home decor by repurposing oak whiskey and wine barrels that only the strictest critic would be proud of, his Pop-Pop.

Shelly has been crafting since childhood and has a keen eye for decor. Besides being a wife and crafter, Shelly is a Mom to a very active teen daughter. Shelly is a career Real Estate Paralegal where she gets to help people make their dreams of home ownership a reality. In today's market, her love for crafting is what maintains her sanity.

Ring and Stave Barrel Co. offers customization of most items we create. We customize for weddings, groom's gifts, bridal party gifts, realtor gifts, housewarming gifts and more. We are happy to help you create your unique, one of a kind, conversational gifts that will be treasured for a lifetime.

Paul and Shelly strive to put beautiful, unique handcrafted decor in everyone’s home.

My business started from my love of plants. After collecting more than a few, I noticed everyone had the same planter. So I decided to look for a more unique and non-conventional pot. I started with chamber pots, soup tureens, crocks and copper teapots and instantly fell in love.
After a couple of months of converting my own collection, in the fall of 2022 I decided to offer my curations to everyone and opened my business.
Most recently I decided to expand beyond just plants and now I offer vintage and antique goods as well as plants in vintage vessels.

Aside from the uniqueness my curations bring, I love that I am able to upcycle and reuse vessels that may have otherwise ended up in a landfill.
After opening my business and struggling to hide the nursery pots of the plants in the vessels, I invested in a 3d printer so I could custom print pots to fit the vessels perfectly. Although it’s my husband, that helps me with printing the pots. Dawn & Decor would not be what it is without him!
I’m so happy to offer printing a custom pot to fit your heirloom piece as a service to anyone who’s interested!

Arolyn's Cottage is full of bottles, yarn and flowers. I love to create!

Bottles ~There’s a variety of hand painted aromatherapy glass bottles waiting for you to fill with something gorgeous smelling. The roller bottles have gemstone rollerballs cause since the outside is painted, she needs her jewelry on top! The square small bottles have gemstones inside. All are labeled on the bottom with which gemstone. There are perfume, dropper, cream, lotion/soap bottles.

The art work on the bottles comes from a love of gardens and the ocean. Why on aromatherapy glass bottles? Well I fell in love with essential oils and most of the bottles I saw were plain glass. The idea came why not try painting my art on glass bottles.

Don’t know what to put inside? We have recipe cards for making your own perfume from essential oils. Some of the recipes are mine ( Arolyn) and some are my sister’s (Roanne Buden).

Yarn ~ There are crochet hat’s, bag’s and blankets available. Many blankets are baby/child size and some are lap/adult size.

There’s a children’s shelf with books, games and children’s aromatherapy stuffed Smelly Faces written, designed and created by my daughter Sarah Bodnar.

Flowers ~When you walk into the Shops at Riverton by the door there are bouquets and vases full of flowers created and waiting for you to take and fill your home with fragrance and beauty!

These products are made with the following natural ingredients: Clove, Aloe Vera, Moringa seed, Jojoba Oil, Castor Oil, Sweet Almond Oil  , Extra Virgin Olive Oil and biotin oil.

Willow Run Revivals is a sole proprietorship of Robin Krueger. Robin spent many years as a corporate lawyer, but after a long-distance move, chose not to work while her children grew.  She first found her creative outlet redecorating rooms (more than once) and realized she needed a creative venture. She taught herself to sew and to repurpose old items into fun and unique products.  After a period of time, Robin began supplementing her handmade goods with Amish-made goods.  You can now find her products at the Shops at Riverton and the Shops at New Hartford

Chris has been a crafter her whole life, always dabbling in different mediums. Making crafts and art work out of gourds was something she started about eight years ago. She looks at the shape and size of the gourd which helps determine what to transform it into. Staining, wood burning, and carving bring out different characteristics of the gourd. She has made everything from Jack-o'laterns and gourd ghouls to knitting bowls, boxes, and lamp shades out of them. They are the perfect medium to make numerous creations. You can find many of these items at her booth as well as seasonal decorations.
