Field Trip: Lambertville

Lambertville, New Jersey was the perfect place for the t's to rendezvous on a rainy Sunday. Armed with umbrellas and wellies, the t's were prepared for some serious vintage shopping, a bite for lunch and a few laughs. This is how it went down -->

* we met at No. 63 - a favorite shop with the perfect mix of vintage handbags, home goods and furniture. It never disappoints. (a few years back, one t scored a set of gym lockers for her mudroom!)

* time for lunch. Hamilton Grille is tucked away in a magical courtyard. There is a maze of tiny dining rooms, each with a certain charm. Our spot had a giant mirror on the ceiling! Both t's may be copying this dramatic touch asap.

* Bucks County Dry Goods, Zinc and Peoples Antiques are always on the list of shops to visit. A bit of old, a bit of new..there are always hidden gems. The t's like to reminisce about past purchases as they wander around.

* last stop - Blue Raccoon - home furnishings store with great furniture, accessories and a bit of everything in between. A bright, happy vibe encouraged both t's to pick up a few goodies. Soap, candles, Halloween decorations and dish towels were in order.

All in all our field trip was a success. Where should we go next??
