Medina Hardware, 225 South Court Street, (330) 722-6541

gbrown — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 23:17:04 +0000

This is a beloved Medina institution — an old fashioned hardware store where you can ask for five small nails if that’s all you need, and someone will climb a ladder to get them for you from the old oak drawers that line the walls.

But a well-kept secret is the outstanding kitchen store in the basement where you can find every imaginable cooking gadget — like this classic cast-iron tea kettle.

All Fired Up!, 241 South Court Street, (330) 723-1112

All Fired Up! is where you come to demonstrate your creativity by painting unglazed pottery — plates, platters, frames and any number of items that can be personalized to suit your taste. It can be done individually and it also works well for children’s parties or as a family activity. At this late date — two days before Christmas – a gift certificate might be a wonderful idea.

After the pottery has been painted, it is fired up and ready to be delivered over to you one week later.
