Wildflowers Armory, Inc.

In downtown Syracuse is a bastion of locally made gifts cooperatively sold by the artisans in a beautiful building filled with light. Such a variety of items and I really enjoyed talking to the artisan running the shop that day. There are prints, stickers of local colleges & attractions, pottery, jewelry, soaps, candles, repurposed items (bike chains into decorations), photos, woodworking, locally made perfume blends, stained glass, upstate New York food offerings (homemade caramel marshmallows!), and more. Be sure to check them out soon.

Great crafts made by local artists. Good prices. The items make wonderful unique gifts.

This quaint market has a mixed bag of stuff. All of it cool. There is something for everyone. Parking is on the street and I do believe there is access to the basement via an elevator. The shops are tight so mobility might be an issue. There is a bathroom downstairs. There is also a nice little coffee shop in the basement. I like the Soflea shop. There is usually a bunch of vendors set up in the center, that changes weekly from the few times I have been there. If you come across some poser looking dude named Mike and he happens to be yelling, making a scene. Just leave him be, all bark and no bite, well he might chew your pants a little like a chihuahua would. Some people need drama in their lives and weren't taught manners.

Never been in, but I took a picture as we drove by because it was such a unique shop and I wanted to remember to stop in next time I was in Syracuse. After I looked at my picture, I noticed the man inside caught me snapping a pic!!! 😂😂😂 I didn't even have to go in for the employees to make an impression! Love it!!!

Really enjoyed this place! It has a lot of unique, homemade items that you just can't find all together in one place. Check it out, if you don't find something you like, you will next time.

Cute place for shoppers but not so cute for artist vendors. They ask artist vendors to "volunteer" free labor every month, on top of rent + commission fee ($100/month + 20% commission) for a 2x3ft space. Except they claim that "reliable transportation, positive attitude and timeliness are crucial for this opportunity" so it doesn't sound all that voluntary does it. Something about that just rubs me the wrong way so badly that there is always a viel of ick when I'm there knowing they operate this way. Either have artists hire you for your service, or you hire people to operate your shop. This isn't even a co-op. Your free labor isn't exchanged for any kind of member-ownership. It's exchanged for... you pay them rent to sell. This kind of sleezy way of exploiting artists just boils my blood. Fellow local artists, check your community based faires in the summer and fall. The local ones can be very affordable and you keep a bit more dignity than offering free labor just to pay $100 a month plus 20% to rent a 2x3ft space to sell here.

This is a really nice place, and huge. They have a lot of cool local artists represented. Great candles and body care items. Funky jewelry. Innovative artist products. The store is maintained well. The staff is pleasant. Prices are reasonable. A few things didn't have prices on them, but most items were. They have 2 stores in the building and it's easy to miss second one but you won't want to miss it. It's downstairs along with a few other stores. That area has a really cool vibe.

Wildflowers Armory is one of my favorite places to shop jewelery by local artists and small businesses. They don't just have jewelry though, they have everything from mini sculptures, prints, clothes, and even handmade kitchenware. I especially love visiting Cherry Pit downstairs, a vintage curated thrift store. There is so much to explore here!
