Jan Rhodes Norman has been in business locally for 38 years and opened Ithacamade five years ago; the store moved downtown (215 North Cayuga Street in the Dewitt Mall) just this fall. Ithacamade carries a tremendously diverse selection of locally-produced arts and crafts. Check them out this holiday season M-Sa 10-6 and Su 10-2 (Su 10-4 until 12/19).

What do you love about Downtown Ithaca? Walkability! I live four blocks from my store. It's great to be able to leave the car at home and do what needs to be done on foot. I also love the fact that we have maintained a vibrant, historic downtown core. That is unique in upstate New York!
Why should someone shop in your store this holiday season? Ithacamade is more than just a store selling wonderful local products. We’re a hub for bringing locally made goods to the community and building our local economy!
What is the best kept secret or deal in your shop? The best deal is the Silk Oak coupon in the 2015 Guide to Being Local. Use the coupon at Ithacamade and get $10.00 off your purchase of Silk Oak of $20.00 or more.
