Fall brings plenty of reasons to go shopping. Maybe you’re looking for a few new pieces to decorate your home, updating your wardrobe for cooler weather, or getting an early start on holiday gifts. And with locally owned businesses offering everything from handmade chocolates to vintage collectibles, there’s a lot to choose from around Lititz.
At Bricker Village, the shops have been busy welcoming autumn with seasonal merchandise, fresh displays, and new arrivals. Whether you have a particular purchase in mind or just want to see what’s available, here’s a look at some of the things you can shop for this fall.
Fall Decor With a Little Personality
Pumpkins, autumn colors, and seasonal accents are showing up throughout Bricker Village, but that doesn’t mean every fall display looks the same.
At LaneyBell Home & Gift, colorful decorative pumpkins offer a playful alternative to traditional autumn decorations. The shop, which opened in September, has also been stocking mugs, simmer pot kits, artwork, and patterned home accessories. Owner and artist Annie Quigley’s collection brings together practical items and decorative pieces with distinctive designs.
Salon Synergy has also welcomed the season with a collection of Geometry towels featuring pumpkins, leaves, florals, and other autumn-inspired patterns. They’re a practical way to add a seasonal touch to your kitchen or bathroom, and they make easy gifts, too.
If your decorating style leans more vintage, Brickerville Antiques Barn and Barrel House Antiques offer another direction. Recent displays at the Antiques Barn have featured pottery, stoneware, serving pieces, and other household finds that could easily become part of a fall tablescape or Thanksgiving gathering.
An old crock filled with dried branches or a vintage platter for serving desserts can fit right into your autumn decorating plans. With dealers regularly adding merchandise, there’s always a chance of finding something different.
A Few New Pieces for Cooler Weather
October is when lightweight jackets, boots, sweaters, and layers start earning their place in the wardrobe again.
Second Story Style has been highlighting fall fashion throughout the month, with recent displays featuring jackets, ankle boots, layered outfits, and accessories. The consignment boutique offers an assortment of clothing and vintage finds, giving shoppers the chance to pick up pieces they may not see in traditional retail stores.
Over at Salon Synergy, the boutique is stocked with cozy sweaters, scarves, vests, and other clothing for cooler temperatures. Recent arrivals include colorful knits and patterned layers that can add something different to your everyday outfits.
The salon also carries jewelry, including necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings, if you’re looking for a finishing touch.
Fall Flavors to Bring Home
Apple and pumpkin flavors are practically part of the fall calendar, and Lorah’s Handmade Chocolates & Gifts has been getting into the spirit.
Recent offerings have included pumpkin pie fudge, apple pie fudge, apple pie ganache, and pumpkin ganache. These fall-inspired varieties add a few tempting options to the shop’s selection of handmade chocolates and confections.
For something to sip, Cullari Vineyards and Winery has been highlighting its Big Apple Pennsylvania Apple Wine and Tutti Frutti. The winery even suggests warming these favorites with a cinnamon stick for a cozy fall drink.
Whether you’re picking up something for yourself, bringing a treat to a gathering, or getting an early start on holiday gifts, these seasonal selections offer a few options to consider.
