Happy Labor Day! Quotes on Canvas Inspire Oversize Florals by Kathleen Quinn-MatusFriday, September 1-Friday, October 6Reception: Sunday, September 17 | 1:00-4:00 PMKathleen writes an inspirational quote onto each canvas before beginning to paint. Next she paints and rotates the large canvas for days until a workable composition presents itself. From there she accentuates the chosen shapes, colors and textures. Taking the florals to the next level, she hand paints a limited number of archival giclée prints in various sizes. Each print has its own unique signature texture making it a collectible work of art.

Jim Cecere returned to Geneva after life in the big city with a goal of creating businesses that highlight the best of the Finger Lakes.

His first retail effort in Geneva — launched at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 — was Finger Lakes Goods on Linden Street, a business highlighting locally produced products ranging from coffee to cookies. In late 2021, he opened Vinifera, in another effort to promote the best of the Finger Lakes, only this time for wine. Read more.

Sense of Taste

Tasting and smelling are two senses that allow us to enjoy food, and actually help us avoid toxins. The human tongue is covered in bumps called papillae. Inside these bumps are what we call taste buds that have cells that can detect flavors. They are neurotransmitters that send signals to the brain to let it know what is in your mouth. Read More.

Living Through a Home Renovation

Going through a home renovation is less than enjoyable. Besides the loud noise, disruption, dust, and delays, there is the basic inconvenience of people moving around your space and the annoyance of missing everything you need to live through a day and night. If you have access to relocate temporarily, you are living out of a suitcase in a hotel or someone else’s home. Still not good. Here are some tips that may make the entire experience more tolerable. Read more.

Labor Day Menu

Labor Day is one of our national holidays that gives us a long weekend to celebrate with family and friends. If you play your cards right, you have three days of food and fun before the long stretch to Halloween. Read More.
