I recently visited the Cardinal Market in the Morgantown Mall.



This market hosts a bunch of local vendors - with everything from bath and body products, food products, toys and home decor.

I've been to the original Cardinal Market location in Vienna, which I loved. So, as soon as the Morgantown one opened up, I was there.  

Here are some of the goodies I picked up:



Jade's Scratch Sweets - these peanut butter balls - or buckeyes - were delish.



Tiff's Magical Cookie Creations - beautiful sugar cookies; I went with a a WV one. 



T&T Kernels - so good! Kettle corn, which is like sweet and salty, is the perfect middle ground.



Shana Cakes - Who doesn't love a good macaron? Especially when they're not easy to come by! Tasty.

Crumbl Cookies have been really popular on social media recently, but the closest one to me is in Morgantown. That means when I was in town recently, I had to make a quick stop.



I placed an order online, thankfully, because there was quite a line when I showed up. Crumbl's whole thing is that they offer a new lineup of cookies each week. I decided I wanted one of each on this particular week. 

"Each week, our menu rotates to give you 4-5 different specialty flavors to taste and enjoy. But don’t worry, our famous Chocolate Chip will always be available for you to enjoy!"

When I visited, there was a raspberry crumble cookie, a chocolate cupcake one, a s'more cookie, a pink sugar cookie, a chocolate chip and salted caramel one. I thought they were all OK. I liked the caramel, but was not crazy about the spice cookie. I think the sugar one was actually my favorite. What's your favorite one?

I'm pretty sure at some point I've tried bubble tea and/or ice cream at the Morgantown mall, but I couldn't see an official review. So, let's get to it. 



XiCha Bubble Tea & Hershey's Ice Cream is located in the food court beside Wong's Wok. The two must be connected in some way because they seem to share workers and a POS machine. There is a variety of ice cream, but I went for a strawberry milk tea with some mango popping boba. It was really quite good. I'm not a fan of tea, but the milk tea takes away the flavor of tea. Instead, it was like a strawberry milk with some little pops of juicy citrus. What's your favorite combo here?

Grade: A

Howe Sweet It Is has honey, beeswax products and other goodies involved bees!



I can't wait to try this sucker - have you had anything from them?  

Held at the Charleston Convention Center, the Capital City Art & Craft Show is sponsored by the Kanawha City Lions Club.



Fun fact: I was the president of the Leo Club in middle school. They do great work. 

This show has a number of food vendors that I thought would be cool to check out. 

Pastor Jack's Homemade Fudge 

I ordered some caramel praline and tiger here - and it was sinfully good.









Mrs. Mel's French Macarons

I tried some of the hot cocoa, apple and more - all so tasty!
