Mortgage Apple Cakes is a baked goods company with an inspiring story. Several years ago, founder and owner Angela Logan had been unable to find work, and her house went into foreclosure. Rather than sit idly by and let her home and investment disappear, she took back control of the situation and did a few calculations. If she could sell 100 of her luscious apple cakes in 10 days, she could earn enough money to save her house. And that's what she did.

Many things caught my eye, but I was absolutely delighted by these handmade gloves by Lamia Akar. Lamia makes fingerless leather gloves in bright colors, black, white, and every combination thereof. The gloves come in a variety of sizes and lengths, all fingerless, some with big snaps that make a satisfying sound when you squeeze them together. They are all wonderfully designed and made. She makes these tiny mini gloves, the ones in the photo, that are sweet and fun, and quite sexy. Lamia's designs offer a tasteful way to a dose of color and whimsy to any outfit!]]> http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2011/11/weekend-market-picks-for-november-12-13-gloves-by-lamia-akar/feed/ 0 http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/07/photo-of-the-day-july-12-2010-bread-alone/ http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/07/photo-of-the-day-july-12-2010-bread-alone/#comments Mon, 12 Jul 2010 15:03:44 +0000 Karen Seiger http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/?p=2220
If you’ve ever picked up a loaf of bread at a farmers market in the city, or in New York State for that matter, odds are that it was made by Bread Alone.  I have been buying rolls, health loaves, and almond croissants from this bakery for years at the Abingdon Square Greenmarket.  Their breads [...]]]> http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/07/photo-of-the-day-july-12-2010-bread-alone/feed/ 0 http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/04/photo-of-the-day-april-7-2010/ http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/04/photo-of-the-day-april-7-2010/#comments Wed, 07 Apr 2010 14:48:43 +0000 Karen Seiger http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/?p=1111
I tasted the Cayuga White from family run Adair Vinyards in the Historic Hudson Valley and was blown away by the strong caramel flavors.  Cold and refreshing, this wine is perfect for a springtime picnic.  You can find this and other wines from Adair at the Community Markets Farmers Market at the Old American Can [...]]]> http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/04/photo-of-the-day-april-7-2010/feed/ 0 http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/03/photo-of-the-day-march-31-2010/ http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/03/photo-of-the-day-march-31-2010/#comments Wed, 31 Mar 2010 16:53:40 +0000 Karen Seiger http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/?p=1044

I have been thinking about Valentine’s Day, for obvious reasons.  So I thought I would write about a very happy union in Brooklyn:  the Makers Market and Community Markets at the Old American Can Factory.

A lot of people think the farmers markets shut down for the winter.  Most of them do, but seventeen Greenmarkets are open each week, and Community Markets is partnering with the Makers Market at the Old American Can Factory to hold an indoor farmers market in Gowanus starting this weekend.
