One thing that I love about the holidays is finding the perfect gift for my loved ones, knowing I will see  huge smiles on their faces when they unwrap their big surprises.  In my opinion, giving is even more fun that getting!

While shopping during the holidays can be lots of fun, it can also turn into a frustrating experience when the perfect presents are hard to find.  Luckily, there are so many fabulously unique shops and talented craftsman in Bucks County to make the search more fun. In addition to fueling our communities, local shops offer the personal service and care to take the stress out of shopping.

Tailoring Custom Clothing Alterations Bucks CountyHave you ever pictured that perfect outfit, combed through all of your favorite stores, but somehow your fantasy design does not exist?  Have you ever looked at certain well-dressed people and wonder, “Damn, how do they look so good?” Being a one-of-a-kind fashionista is so much easier than it sounds. With the help of Miss Debbie’s Alterations and Designs, you don’t have to go to New York, Milan or Paris for gorgeous, custom clothing.  Miss Debbie recently relocated to Bucks County, and is offering her services to the local area.

We recently chatted with Miss Debbie.  Check out our interview with her:

Bucks Happening: When and how did you fall in love with fashion?
Miss Debbie: When I was young, I’d sketch garments I’ve seen in old black and white movies. I love the forties and fifties style. The clothes in that era were so feminine and elegant.

Don't forget to change your clocks!

It’s that time of year again, to “fall back.” Officially you can change your clocks back one hour, this Sunday, November 7th. But what is all the history behind daylight savings time? Most of us (myself included) probably have no clue of its history and fun facts! Well, I decided it was about time to do some investigating.

Daylight savings time was actually not enacted until March 19, 1918 but proved to be “unpopular” due to people waking up earlier and going to bed earlier. For years and years, daylight savings time was very inconsistent and became an option to cities and states. Can you imagine the confusion? Even with the Interstate Commerce Commission getting involved in the early 60′s, because would still not follow the rules. Farmers debated the issues, and state governments could not agree. (more…)
