This year was a little different at Peddler's Village, going with DH and dear friends J and S. It turned out to be a perfect weekend for us, you'll see why further down. ❤
We arrived first in the afternoon and just had to sample the beer at the Free Will Brewing Taproom.
I tried sharing mine with the dragon at The Cloak and Wand, but he wasn't very interested.
More on this shop later, it was amazing!
When our friends arrived later that evening, we ventured out to another little town, New Hope, for dinner and shopping.
Hello New Jersey, across the river, we'll see you on Sunday.

How nice, a big mirror for a group photo!
The next morning after a delicious breakfast, we headed over to see the gingerbread houses before it got too crowded.
Get ready, there were loads of them!
The pink castle must be for Vickie!
My favourite? Hermey and Rudolph!
2nd favourite? Snow Miser and Heat Miser!
Poor Gingy was losing his head.
Here's some of what was inside of Cloak and Wand, so many fun/weird/scary things.
Dragons, gnomes, mermaids, HP, and zombies - oh, my!
While we were there, we saw a wedding near the gazebo. A beautiful setting with all the lights, but brrr!
Not long after that, we witnessed a proposal! It was a night for love❣
(See, perfect weekend!)
So we decided it was the perfect time for our photos.
Scenes of the Village.
And the shopping, such fun!
The guys found this and thankfully didn't get any!
After our funtabulous Saturday, it wasn't quite over and we headed to Lambertville, NJ, for breakfast and more shops on Sunday.
Lucky us, we got to see Mr and Mrs Claus before we left!
And here ended our weekend getaway. We haven't done that in a long time without the kids, but they may want to join us next year?
I almost forgot, I did find this stitchy book at the bookstore in Peddler's Village.
One of the patterns I thought was fun.
Sadly, sometimes friends can disappoint you, not reciprocating or knowing what true "unconditional" love is that they professed, so you move on.
You make the best of a sad situation, and I'm thankful to have had this weekend with loved ones.
