Chocolate Pizza Magic

Can life get any better???  Patri and I found the Chocolate Pizza Company.  It is located at 3774 Lee Mulroy Road, Marcellus, NY 13108.

These are the people who invented the idea of a chocolate pizza.  It took the internet by storm a few years ago.

The aroma of chocolate is immediate upon entering the shop.  It is a bit like a Wonka movie experience, like you are in an alternative universe where dreams come true in instantaneous fashion.

My DCT scenario: eating dark chocolate covered potato chips (for only $9.95).

Anything and everything here would make great holiday gifts – the perfect dessert to bring to Thanksgiving dinner, the perfect Christamas gift to send to out-of-state friends and family.  And in my case, the perfect snack to eat in lieu of lunch and dinner.

Thank you, Patri, for introducing me to this fabulous shop!

Baltimore Woods Nature Center

Baltimore Woods Nature Center is a heavenly park of hiking trails located at 4007 Bishop Hill Road, Marcellus, New York 13108.

We’ve been having fifty degree weather – sunshine and blue skies – the perfect weather to hike these trails.  This is an excellent workout.  The woods encompass a series of drumlins with paths going up, down, and all around in a circle maze with bridges and stairs, and creeks and lots of trees including chestnut trees!!!  So beautiful.  If you’ve never been there, make a plan to experience this asap.

I left a dozen angel rocks around the site to enhance the blissful feeling of this peaceful serenity.  The joy of nature is everything.

Thank you, Patri, for sharing this adventure with me.  I appreciate you!!! <3

Rummage Heaven

Amber Road is off Route 20 in what is technically Marcellus, New York. But once you park your car in the lot, pop up the stairs and walk into this former church, you’d swear you were in heaven. That is, if antique shopping is your jam. It is mine.

Rummage Heaven is gorgeously merchandised. It is so fun to peruse the different rooms filled with furniture and accessories while enjoying the light reflecting from the beautiful stained-glass windows. I wanted to live there.

Everything is reasonably priced to sell and I will say that the items depicted in these photos may not be here next week or even tomorrow. There is a high turn-over due to the fact that this off-the-beaten-path shoppe is hardly a well-kept secret.

I’ve been fan-girling Rummage Heaven on Facebook – loving everything they post. I finally got the chance to visit and I was truly blown away. The space is airy and light, easy to walk around (and there were a lot of customers there for a weekday afternoon). It is a magical place. Everyone was so nice. The employees even call it their happy place.

They are open from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm Monday – Friday and 10:00 am – 4:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday. Rummage Heaven is located at 3165 Amber Road, Marcellus, New York 13108. Call for more information –  (315) 272-9236.

Beary Christmas

If you are looking for a place to take a moonlit walk, go directly to Marcellus Park now. Right now (from 4:00 – 9:00 pm). They’re having hot cider and snacks.

Marcellus Park is located at 2443 Platt Road, Marcellus, New York 13108. They have a playground, basketball and tennis courts and a trail surrounding a trout-filled creek. It is a gem of a place!
