Peddler's Village Gingerbread House Competition 2015

Showing off the gingerbread tree house that my daughter made this year!
She entered it in the annual Gingerbread House Competition
held by Peddler's Village in Lahaska, Pennsylvania.

Let's zoom in for a closer look!

A special dedication to her Mom & Dad with our carved initials on the trunk of the tree!

We took it into our living room for some photos, 

so you can better see how she lit the interior.

A third place winner!

Laura competed last year as well.

Cupcake Decorating Competition at Peddler's Village

On this snow-covered March weekend,

Peddler's Village of Lahaska, PA held their annual

Cupcake Decorating Contest!

My favorite aspiring pastry chef (as well as my favorite daughter)

entered the competition, choosing a woodland theme.

Each contestant was required to submit 6 cupcakes.

I'd say she did a fabulous job!

See what you think!

Gingerbread House Competition at Peddler’s Village 2014

Each year, Peddler's Village in Lahaska, PA holds a gingerbread house competition.

What made this year's extra-special was that my daughter Laura created a house to enter!

I'm sharing my photos so that you can get an up-close-and-personal look at her creative talent!

The big moment of checking in her house.

Believe me - we drove there very carefully!

The houses are displayed in the Village's lovely gazebo,

which they close in for the winter.

There it is, entry #22 in the traditional category.

You can bet I'm so very proud of her!

A week later, we came back to see the results.

Notice the long line to get into the gazebo! A very popular attraction!

Laura's house won an Honorable Mention!

How wonderful!

It was such a great experience for her. 

She designed the house, sketched it out, then made it a reality!

She had so much fun pulling it together!

The Gingerbread House display will be open until 1-3-15.

(I have the feeling she'll be back next year with another entry.)

Here's the Peddler's Village website.

Peddler’s Village

One of my top favorite places to visit is Peddler’s Village! It’s located in the picturesque countryside of Bucks County, PA, in Lahaska. It isn't merely a place to shop; it’s an adventure, an experience! 

Quaint little shops are set along gorgeously landscaped gardens and pathways. Such a delightful place to stroll and explore, with each corner turned more charming than the next!

You'll also find delectable restaurants and the lovely Golden Plough Inn. Seasonal events include the Strawberry Festival, the Quilt Competition and Display, and the popular Scarecrow Competition.

I’d like to share some photos with you! Let me know what you think!

Perfect outing for my hubby and me!
