Yesterday, was a gorgeous, unseasonable, fall day in mid October. We opted to go for a drive north to enjoy the changing colors of our trees and spend some time in a little town called Woodstock, NY.
As we all know, the famous Woodstock Music Festival, was originally supposed to be held in the town of Woodstock but ended up taking place in nearby Bethel, NY. I had never been to Woodstock but it was exactly as I expected.
A small town with a bohemian inspired vibe, filled with art galleries, book shops, a local wine shop where we picked up two bottles of a local wine, artisanal chocolate shop, music shops with an impressive collection of vinyl, vintage shops that include rock tees that you won't find anywhere else, apothecary and magical shops where you can find special teas, magical stones/herbs/essential oils and you can also ask about the next reading or where the next coven meeting will be held, they also had a cork board at the entrance where you can write/pin your worries and leave them behind tacked to that cork board as you left the shop, small cafes, plenty of little places to grab a bite to eat, we decided on "Sharkie's Meatballs, and so many little nooks and crannies where you can take a seat and just take in your peaceful surroundings. One of those little nooks included the shop "Peace, Love, and Cupcakes" where we had the most delicious cupcakes. I think it had to be the best cupcakes we've ever had. According to the Food Network, they were awarded the distinction of the best cake in the nation. We opted for the Blood, Sweat, and Tears cupcake and the Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin cupcakes, all very good.
What a wonderful place to just relax and take in a beautiful fall day.
