Whether you’re heading to a friend’s holiday party or sending a gift to a colleague, a bottle of delicious local wine is a gift people love to receive. This year, the Chaddsford Tasting Room in Peddler’s Village is taking wine gifts to the next left, making it even easier to find a special gift. Pennsylvania’s Chaddford Winery is among a handful of wineries in the eastern United States who have achieved a national reputation for producing premium wines of world-class stature, and their Bucks County location in Lahaska makes it easy for all of us to take advantage!
One thing that I love about Chaddsford is that they make creating a custom private label easy and affordable for anyone, without high minimum order quantities or long turnarounds. (more…)
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.
This year, take a look at the Bucks Happening Holiday Gift Guide to find those extra-special gifts to make 2010 the best holiday yet! (more…)
While food may be the star of Thanksgiving Day, an extra special array of drinks can greatly enhance the holiday. In Bucks, we are lucky to be surrounded by a trail of local vineyards with fine, hand-crafted wines. Scattered across the county, you can find just about any type of wine to pair with your meal- dry, sweet, white, red.
Best of all, as Thanksgiving marks the end of the harvest season, it makes perfect sense to mark the occasion with one of Bucks County’s newly released harvest wines. Read more about Harvest Wines and other popular pairing options for Thanksgiving dinner as recommended by local experts. (more…)
Can you believe we are already only two weeks away from the big turkey day? (Wait until you see our Thanksgiving day guide!) But before the hustle and bustle of the holidays (don’t worry, we’ll have you covered there, too!), take some time to enjoy the events going on in Bucks County. Also, in honor of past and present military see our Veteran’s Day Guide for special dedication events.

Have 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.

People who know me well know I am not exactly a morning person, and I’m a total night owl (totally opposite of my husband, who is out of bed before 6 AM and almost catatonic directly following dinner LOL). But this past Saturday, exception was necessary for the Nordstrom Beauty Fall Cosmetics Trend Show (follow them on Facebook and Twitter). Doors opened at 7AM, so me and my beauty-loving friends Danielle and Lisa (check out Lisa’s beauty and fitness blog) sucked it up in the name of beauty.
