When I pictured how my summer would go, I didn’t really think I would attend as many markets and festivals as I have in the past few months. Although I miss the city life a little bit, I truly enjoy how laid-back and interesting our new hometown is; plus, there is always something going in Bucks County.
Although we weren’t able to attend the Renaissance Faire, we had a great time showing a dear friend who was visiting some bits and pieces of the town. Our latest adventure led us to the Van Sant Crybaby bridge — always a creepy experience — and the annual McConkey’s Market in Washington Crossing before a delicious late lunch at Karla’s in New Hope and, last but not least, a nice walk across the New Hope-Lambertville Bridge in hopes of finding the abandoned train pictured below.
Besides spending time with our friend, the highlight of my day was a gorgeous vintage travel trunk we found at the market for only $30! It was love at first sight; and while it may not be the best travel suitcase nowadays, it’ll sure make a great coffee table for our apartment. There were great booths showcasing lots of delicate, vintage furniture and home décor. I can’t wait for next year’s event!
As the weather gets cooler — I’m still holding out hope it will — and the pumpkins start to make an appearance, I anticipate a busy fall ahead. What are some of your favorite local fall festivals?

Apr 18, 2025Wellness Comes Naturally in Greenville, South Carolina
Strolling through downtown Greenville, South Carolina, it’s easy to see why the city ranks high among the best places to live in the United States: Shops, restaurants and coffee bars line the streets; there are also performance venues, hotels and outdoor plazas. But what really sets this upstate city of just more than 78,000 residents apart are the easily accessible parks and walking trails encouraging both residents and visitors to explore the city by foot or cycle (both handcycles and adaptive bikes are available to rent). Even better, as Greenville continues to grow, city planners and major employers work together to expand these opportunities. When Greenville’s Swamp Rabbit Trail, for instance, opened in 2009, the paved, multiuse pathway ran about 9 miles from the heart of Greenville to the town of Traveler’s Rest.

Apr 16, 2025Grand Hotel Des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz Review
Switzerland’s most storied ski town (the one, in fact, credited with pioneering the very concept of Alpine tourism), St. Moritz legendarily attracts the rich, the famous, celebutantes and the wannabes. Yet, there’s something compellingly earthy about the place, a town on a lake rich with natural environs, where winter sports and summer activities draw athletes and mountain lovers aplenty. As at the mountain restaurants (where some arrive by chairlift rather than muscle movement, and all types of diners and imbibers convene), Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz straddles the old and new, the lavish and the understated. The hotel, one of St. Moritz’s oldest, opened as a spa haven in 1864, set atop a healing mineral spring.
