This weekend was a breath of fresh air. On Friday Daniel and I escaped in the night to head up to the Poconos and stay at my family's cabin for the weekend. Of course I had to make the most of it- so I planned to visit three places and then let the rest result in spontaneous adventures, haha.
On Saturday, we visited Peddler's village Antique Mall in Tannersville, Pa. I love going to this place to find little treasures, and I hadn't been in years so I knew there would be a ton of new stuff. While there isn't any vintage clothing to be found, the knick knacks and jewelry are equally interesting. The very first booth we stopped in we found these adorable flower power vintage glasses (that were supposedly sour cream glasses originally?), and I spotted some enamel pins and a kitschy vintage pumpkin salt and pepper shaker set. It was Jubilee Restaurant for dinner that night in Pocono Pines (love that place!) and then movies from Redbox at night.
On Sunday, we visited the Saylorsburg Flea Market. Wooowwwweee is this
flea market a production. There were booths as far as the eye could
see- and lots of fun vintage costume jewelry. I just wandered around in a zombie-like stake skimming and scanning my eyes across every table until I saw something of interest. I was on the lookout for more of my favorite pins- but instead I found three funky vintage necklaces for a total of $10! Not bad, eh? After the Flea Market we drove down the street to the nearby Sorrenti Winery for a wine tasting, ohhhhh they have such a wonderful Cabernet, and while I am not usually a huge blush fan, their Cranberry Blush is absolutely divine!

We hung around the grounds of the Winery for a little while and took a few photos of my outfit. The weather was beautiful that day and this dress ended up being the perfect choice- light, bright and so comfortable. At first I wasn't sure how the belt would compliment it- but I like how it completed the rainbow with the purple shoes and all. I am really getting some good use out of that belt since I had the idea to swipe it off of my high school prom dress- hehe. Of course, it couldn't be complete without a rainbow necklace ;)
I had a jumping photo in this dress over a year ago, so I figured it was time for a new one :D I know my face is a little intense.. sometimes you just gotta laugh at yourself, haha!
Dress: Minuet, can be found here , Necklace: Francesca's, Pin: Vintage, Shoes: Toms
After our adventure at the Winery we decided to take an impromptu journey to Stroudsburg and tour down Main Street to find some lunch. Daniel and I had never been to Stroudsburg before, but it sort of reminded me of Newark, with the cute little Main Street lined with shops and eateries, there were some cute antique stores to explore as well. All in all it was a really refreshing weekend and I am eager to get back up to the mountains, it didn't feel like we had enough time to just go outside and enjoy the scenery, lay next to the lake and take it all in. There is always more relaxing to be done ;)
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for the incredibly sweet comments on my last post, you are all so kind and thoughtful. I am grateful to have such thoughtful readers with good hearts!
