You know it’s a great day when your dollar deal can be found right on the street. Today we took Tim’s family for a tour of all our favorites on the other side of the river — a few Cambridge and Harvard Square stops, then Concord and Walden Pond. While meandering around the shops in Concord, I saw this lovely section of dollar goods at Priscilla Candy Shop on Walden Street. The cute prints on the tiny favor boxes caught my eye, and though I have no idea when I’ll need just four favor boxes, I made the purchase. And good thing I did, because while inside the shop I got to sample some amazing (and homemade!) cinnamon Holland mints. I never knew there was such a thing, but I now know I love them.
Other noteworthy events of the day were a picnic of delicious Darwin’s sandwiches (and Lakota cookies!) at the old North Bridge, kayaking on the Concord River (my arm workout for the week) from the South Bridge boat house to the Old North Bridge, and taking a quick evening dip in Walden Pond. Turns out the parking lot is free after 5:30 p.m., so our new plan for the remainder of the summer is to drop everything every day at 5:30 and go for a swim.

Oh I love this! I am sure those little favor boxes will be just perfect for something, someday. And we haven’t been to Walden Pond yet but that looks great! We’ll have to head there some time soon. Maybe we’ll see you there 😉
