of yesteryear captured in a little plastic shell, gently dusted with falling

snow. The street lights are glowing, the store windows brilliant and

festive, bows and ribbons are on packages and bags and everyone taking

time away from a stressful routine to focus on friends and family. �

Wouldn’t it be great to have your holidays look a little more like that this year?

Where finding creative, hand-crafted gifts that reached beyond the everyday was a

joy and not a chore? Gifts that bring heartfelt, spontaneous smiles, the second that

they’re opened? If that’s the kind of winter experience you crave this year, the

Brandywine Valley has several shopping areas that fit the

bill and we’ve put a few of them together here in a

shopping itinerary that circles you around our hills

and valleys and lets you stop along the way for your

own little snow globe experiences. � Welcome to the

glittering and luxurious tradition of holiday shopping —

City sidewalks, busy sidewalksDressed in holiday style . . .

e’re going to start our shop-ping expedition in Media —otherwise known as Every-

body’s Home Town and the seat ofDelaware County. The merchants onState Street always put out their bestdecorations for the season giving thepicturesque illusion of a real-lifeCurrier & Ives print. (The soothingsound of the local trolley rollingdown the street periodically certainlyhelps to complete the picture.)Window shopping is encouragedhere, although we’re guessing youwon’t be able to stop at the windows.

Plenty of gifts for the man on yourlist can be found at B.Gross Menswear, oneof the true Media landmarks that linethe street. Custom tailoring and per-sonalized service still are the normhere, even after more than 80 years.Across the street and down a fewdoors is Golden Impulse Jewelers wherethey have perennial holiday favorites— exquisite, sparkling gifts in tiny,wrapped packages. Need we saymore?

Also on State Street is The Village ArtShop. Have an otherwise hard-to-buy-for teenager on your list? Or maybe animaginative and artistic mom wholoves to scrapbook or paint? Purchasesome quality papers, pencils or penshere for the gift of creative expression.And, while you’re thinking color and design, pop in The Media Florist for astunning floral centerpiece that will

take any holiday gathering from rou-tine to memorable.

Once you’ve found your treasuresalong State Street, tuck them safely in your shopping bag and followBaltimore Pike to Route 1 southtoward Chadds Ford.

Children laughing People passing Meeting smile after smile . . .

About eight miles down theroad is the second destinationon our journey — The Shoppes at

Brinton Lake. More than 25 shops andrestaurants are here, providing conve-nient access to a variety of gift-givingoptions. Names such as Williams Sonoma,Pottery Barn, Galan Gifts and Fine Furnishings and Pier 1 Imports have festive and prac-tical gifts for the home. If the personyou’re shopping for is a devoted J. Crewor Eddie Bauer fan, they’re here, too, aswell as clothiers Ann Taylor Loft, Christopher& Banks, Talbot’s, Victoria’s Secret and Chico’s.It’s also possible, while you are here,to get a manicure at the Thomas Lavella Salon, create a homemade pot-tery gift at Color Me Mine or get a quicktreat of ice cream at MaggieMoos. Iflunch or dinner is on your mind, Ruby’sDiner, The America Bar & Grill and P.F. Chang’sChinese Bistro each have exquisite fare infun settings — just what you need tofeel refreshed to continue shopping.

After Brinton Lake, return to Route1, heading south. Just down the roadis the intersection of Routes 1 and202. If you take a small detour and

turn left onto Route 202 south, plenty of specialty shops await the dis-criminating gift giver. The first stop,only a mile down the road, could bethe brand new Keystone Plaza, home ofseveral shops and Pescatore’s Restaurant.Pescatore’s — new since July — offersentrees such as pizza, steak, seafoodand Italian specialties in a family-friendly atmosphere reminiscent ofthe old country. The charming atmos-phere, separate bar and private ban-quet room are sure to make thisBrandywine newcomer a favorite des-tination for years to come.

Just next door to the KeystonePlaza is the entrance to Olde Ridge Village, a collection of charming bou-tiques nestled in a cozy ring of stonecottages. Shopping here is stress-free and fun and always promises lots of checkmarks on your shopping list — plus a little treat for yourself.

Crafters will enjoy browsing TheStencil Shoppe where you can find multi-tudes of handmade stencils and lots of ideas on how to use them. Fromtiny squares to be used on notecardsto garden murals that fill entire walls,they have it here. If jewelry making is the craft of choice for special some-one, E-Z Beads is where all the localsshop for tools and supplies. A gift cer-tificate for one of their classes wouldbe a great gift here as well.

Almost everyone has little ones on their gift-giving lists, but are youtired of giving unimaginative, heavily marketed, plastic toys from a big-boxstore? Book Fair is literally crammed with

W

�MEDIA FLORIST � PAPER PICKINS � THE STENCIL SHOPPE


award-winning toys, challenginggames and puzzles — and yes, books— that make even the elves in Santa’sworkshop envious.

Not all holiday shopping is aboutgifts. Don’t forget that you probablyneed a few items for the celebrationaspect of it all. Be sure to stop at PaperPickins, for fine stationary such as invi-tations and thank you notes and theWine and Beer Emporium for supplies for atruly merry affair.

Across Route 202 from OldeRidge, is Glen Eagle Square, also home tomore than 25 shops and restaurants.Some names here are very familiar,

such as Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, Gap, BananaRepublic, Ann Taylor and American EagleOutfitters. Some of the retailers’ namesmay be new to you — for example,Trail Creek Outfitters, Cameo Water Wear, Annie Prue, Mykonos and The Ski Bum — but theycould have that perfect something for someone on your list.

From here, shoppers can proceedjust a mile or two farther down 202 for a couple of specialty shopsthat could transform your home into the one that everyone wants to come home to this year. For exam-ple, you could bring out some chestnuts and prepare to roast them

at a nostalgic open fireplace, completewith accessories from the Chadds FordFireside Shop. Or, remodel your guestroom with comfortable and cozyitems from either Hunt Country Furnitureor Marstan’s Unpainted Furniture. (Shoppingtip: keep in mind that if you have first-time apartment owners or newly-weds on your list, they would proba-bly appreciate gifts from here, aswell!)

After these stops, the next destina-tion is the sparkling shopping districtof Kennett Square. Turn around andtake Route 202 north to get back toRoute 1 south.

many gifts as the North Pole, but farmore pleasurable to walk around.

The shopping choices here are trulyalmost endless, but we have a few thatyou might want to make special noteto be sure to visit. Adorable, timelessclothes and toys that challenge theimagination — instead of theeardrums — can be found at Play NiceChildren’s Boutique on Market Street.Down on High Street is the JaneChalfant Boutique — really three specialtyshops in one — where discriminatingclients have purchased timeless, styl-ish fashions and accessories for 74years. Around the corner on GayStreet is the Newbury Street Design interiordesign studio with ideas to decorateyour home and over on SouthChurch is Pages Card Shop with ideas todecorate your gifts. Finally, a little far-ther up on East Gay Street in theCambridge Square Shopping Center(but worth the trip!) is J. Ryan’s DesignerResale Shoppe where you can find,among other things, designer con-signment party dresses for all of yourseasonal engagements.

On your way out of West Chester, if your path takes you on Route 202 south, don’t miss The Abbey GreenShop on your right just out of town. Ifyou’re searching for a present for alover of all things Irish, you won’tneed a leprechaun to find treasurehere — this darling boutique special-izes in everything imaginable fromthe old country such as clothing, jewelry, and gifts.

Strings of street lights Even stop lights Blink a bright red and green . . .

On your way into KennettSquare, you’ll pass Spring RunNatural Foods right on Route 1,

just past Longwood Gardens. If yourholiday menu calls for high-quality,organic foods or quality vegetarianproducts, make a quick stop here andstock up on some delicious treats.

Once you’ve followed the direc-tions above to State Street, find aplace to park and explore a town thatcould double for Bedford Falls in“It’s a Wonderful Life” any day.Shopping here is always a delight, butduring the holiday season, the localshopkeepers take extra care to put alittle of the magic back into the sea-son. Be sure to take your timestrolling along the tree-lined avenuesand sampling the scents of coffee,cookies and seasonal delights. Oneplace you shouldn’t miss is actuallytwo boutiques in one — The MushroomCap and The Growing Tree. The ownerstarted The Growing Tree to show-case adorable, personalized children’sgifts and consignment items. A fewyears later, she realized that when vis-itors asked her where to find KennettSquare mushrooms (Kennett Squareis the mushroom capital of the world)she would have to tell them to go to the local Acme. Thus, her secondshop — specializing in home-grown,gourmet mushrooms and related

items — was planted and has grownfruitfully ever since.

Hear the snow crunch See the kids bunch This is Santa’s big scene . . .

F rom Kennett Square, find UnionStreet (Route 82) and travelnorth to 926. Turn right onto

926 east. After driving through someof the prettiest countryside theBrandywine has to offer, you willintersect Route 202 again — alsoknown as Wilmington Pike. At thiscrossroads, turn south on 202 for 1-1/2 miles to find The Shoppes atDilworthtown Crossing — yet another loca-tion with even more stores fromwhich to choose. For the cigar loverin your family, Old Havanna Cigar Companymay have just the right gift — as wellas the knowledgeable staff to assistyou in your selection. A great ideawould be to stop in Kabloom — aEuropean-style flower shop right nextdoor — and pick up several smallarrangements to give to the hosts ofany holiday gatherings you are attend-ing.

Once you’ve found your treasureshere, turn back onto Route 202 north(you will pass back across 926) andstay on it until you see the sign to splitoff on to High Street in West Chester.A few blocks past the campus of WestChester University, you will be in theheart of the delightful downtownshopping district, a place that has as
