We've stopped in this Whole Foods numerous times on our way from Philly to Bucks.  We love Whole Foods (aka whole paycheck) and this one is no exception.

Great baked goods, cheeses, olives, meats, and especially produce.

Fun to shop here - and you can get some great ingredients.

Good pre-packaged sushi, too.
Yummy prepared foods.

Solid.  A good choice for salads - and even noodle bowls.  You pick the ingredients and can control calories and fat.  Pleasant "green" sleek decor.

I tend to stick with the salads - but a few of the bowls and soups look (more carb-heavy) good.

Traci Lynn Fashion Jewelry

1/27/2012 First to Review
A friend of mine is a Tracy Lynn consultant (she sells their jewelry at home parties).
It is some of the loudest, clunkiest design work I;ve seen.

Some people love it - but I just don't.  It screams costume.
Some of it is fun.

They need to present a few smaller, less flashy pieces that could actually pass for real.

Now that Granite RAun Mall (on its last dying legs) is our  closest shopping place, we came here on a Tuesday night.  My 7 year old desparately needed a new pair of sneaks and some winter boots.

SCORE!!!!!  The boots were priced as marked, but the $44.99 sketchers rang up for $14.99.

SWEET.

No lines at all - the place is a ghost town.

Bonus:  Sears carries (limited) land's end products.  I loveeeeee Land's End.

Well, the rest of Granite Run Mall may be dead or dying, but Claire's was alive and well when we visited on a Thursday Night at 6:30 PM.  The place was crammed with tweens - some getting their ears pierced, others browsing (and buying) earrings, rings, nail polish and Justin Bieber emblazonned swag.

My 7 year old squeeeeeeeeee loves it here.

I surrender...

Ah, Rainbow - brings back such Upper East Side memories - you can get lots of things here in a pinch - household goods, home decor, a copy of your keys, tools, have a prescription filled, buy a vacuum cleaner.

And they don't flinch when you bring your (small) dog in the store.

It's crammed with stuff.

We love coming here for BlueRocks games.

A great selection of molded chocolate confections and other candies and goodies.
Conveniently located in the RTM.

Bark, non-pareils, peanut butter cups, chocolate covered pretzels, rats, bats and Halloween and Christmas chocolates, too.

Fun!

Gotta love Scharffen Berger.  Such a fun place to buy chocolate.  Yes, Valrhona and other companies may cost more - but this domestic cocoa bliss is affordable and very good quality for both eating and baking.

Love it!

Try the hot chocolate.  It cuts right through the fog!  So yummy.
