We had a very quiet weekend spent running errands and relaxing. I found this post sitting in my "drafts" list from mid-August. I thought I had posted it, but apparently not... so I'm posting now! Enjoy!
---------------------------------------------------I recently found out that I have 37 days of vacation! So last Monday I took the day off "just because." C and I had a concert at night, and instead of rushing home and then off to Philly, he said why not just take the day? So I did. We decided to head up to Bucks County, PA to a little place called Peddler's Village. We had passed by it several times on our way to his cousin's house, and it looked so quaint, so I've been wanting to go.
I was happy we decided to go on a weekday. Though there were other people, I feel like it would have been mobbed on the weekend. And I could see why. It is so pretty, and there are a ton of little shops and boutiques, and restaurants and eateries. C had been there before, but only when he was a kid, so it was a new experience for both of us.

One of the things I loved about the shops were that they had a lot of local and homemade goods, like these sauces...
We definitely had fun goofing off in some of the stores!
These parakeets were up on a really high shelf in a stationary and gift shop... totally random! Their cage was awesome though- hand carved dark wood.
We walked around to just about all the shops. C got a new hat and a meatballs and sauce Christmas Ornament for his mom, since that's what she always makes for us. I got a small gift for my coworker, a ghost pepper plant for my friend, and a necklace for myself.
And of course I wanted a few pics of the grounds- I love this water wheel! The whole place was so serene and quiet- it was a perfect summer day!
Yay for taking the day off randomly to enjoy yourself! Love those days! Glad you had a good time and hopefully you get another one sometime soon!

That ornament is adorable!
ReplyDeleteWe went here last year for the Apple Festival! It's such a cute place, with so much to do. Love the pics! We loved the Irish shop.
ReplyDeleteHooray for random parakeets! That is such a beautiful cage. I've never been to Peddler's Village, but I have been to similar towns around PA. We have two major cities, and living in one of them it's easy to forget that a lot of our state is dedicated to historical sites, a retro way of living, or living history villages like these.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day! It always seems more fun when you know you could be stuck at the office instead. I love the necklace you got!
