The Pilafs headed to the Southtowns recently to enjoy all that Main Street in East Aurora has to offer. We began by searching for a few unique, you-can-only-find-it-at-Vidler’s gifts, and although JT could not find his Natural Ice lip balm and Dra could not find the perfect Dorothy coffee mug, we were both pleased withContinue reading “Both Classy and Comfortable in East Aurora”
