Cheese and Honey Festival (Weather Permitting)

I love festivals. I love cheese. I love craft beer. I love honey. I love gardens (...that somebody else grows and I can just enjoy). I love restaurants in unexpected spaces. If you too love all of these things, have I got good news for you: Terrain at Styer’s in Glen Mills is having a cheese and honey festival this Saturday from noon until 4:00 PM! (Weather permitting, I’m assuming.)

Should the event go on, it will feature “tastings of local cheese, honey and craft beer, plus theme activities like backyard beekeeping demonstrations and lessons on pairing and plating cheese. Guests can also sample dishes from Terrain’s summer cookbooks.” This is win-win-win-win, people. If you’re planning on attending, you’ll need the right shoes. First up: the bees!

  The Picnic Ready by Poetic License is just perfect: black and yellow round toe pumps, honeycomb pattern on the fabric upper, a flower to attract the bees, and woven straw around its three-inch wedge. Adorable! Find them on Zappos for $98.

Next up: the garden. Aren’t they darling? The Floral Print Cross Strap Wedge by Bamboo have a deep pink rose print on ivory straps (or black, your choice), a 5.25-inch cork wedge and platform, and summer attitude written all over them. Find them on Amazon for under $24.

Next up: the beer.

  Whether you like your beer light or dark, the Tossups Pump by Audrey Brooke have you covered! A four-inch heel, one-inch platform, round peep toe with pointed cutouts... delicious. Also available in black suede/black patent and ivory leather/black patent; yours from DSW for $70.

Next up: the honey.

  Liquid gold! And look at the honeycomb pattern! The Ashton Wedge by Etienne Aigner has a man-made upper, cushioned footbed, and a 2.75-inch golden wedge. Also available in patent croc prints in black or brown; find them at Macy’s for $69.

And, er, just in case:

  These rainboots by Ranger have little bees all over them! Let them buzz into your heart for $29 from QC Supply. But really, everyone stay safe and dry this weekend, and we'll reconvene on Tuesday, shall we?
