Here is a little glimpse at some of the amazingness I experienced on my recent day trip to the ridiculously charming towns of New Hope and Lambertville, which included many racks of dreamy vintage clothes, cherry water ice from Rita's, and a whole lot of oohing and ahhing. I discovered my new favorite antiques store, The People's Store in Lambertville, which is four floors of vintage splendor. I managed to restrain myself from taking home too many things (although I did find a strawberry brooch, a printed 1960's blouse, and a beautiful mint green vase) but I'm already plotting my second trip back because I'm pretty sure every nook and cranny was not properly explored just yet!
I purchased this crazy metallic garland from a year-round Christmas store because the magpie in me couldn't resist.
I'm totally addicted to what the locals call "wooder ice." Heavenly.
My mom took this. She didn't really know what she was doing but I like it anyways.
The best. Still regretting not buying these "shimmering body powders."
Totally bought this dream top.

I'm currently living in Frederick, MD, but can't wait for a future trip home to visit these lovely shops! Thanks so much! Can't wait to see what else you discover!!! xo
I so want to go there! Looks amazing!

my boyfriend lives in philly, i will have to talk him into a road trip because this looks amazing! we always laugh about people saying "wooder ice." the philly accent is strange and hilarious. love these photos, too!
This makes me homesick. So many days of vintage shopping, tattoos at The Lion's Den, & ice cream at Gerenser's.
Woah, please say you got that top in the last photo...
Wow, so many amazing finds there! I miss USA antique malls and thrift stores, hanging out for my next road trip to snaffle some goodies :D

Wow there are so many photos, this shop must be huge! So beautiful though. Reminds me of a town in Wisconsin that I don't visit nearly as much as I would like to.
I went on a double date to new hope when I was in high school, it is so quaint and adorable! That cropped dream top is SO perfect, as is that sequin blouse and so many pretty prints and collars! Glad you are sharing your adventures again I've been missing them!
