↗Ann Freitag Jewelry
For Anne Freitag, jewelry is an art form with a story to tell. Her work begins with a love of making, wearing, and sharing jewelry, and a desire to create pieces that feel distinctive and personal. At Stangl, that artistic point of view brings a welcome invitation to slow down, look closely, and discover something that speaks to you. Choose a piece to give an everyday outfit a little more personality, mark a special occasion, or surprise someone whose style you know by heart. The pleasure is in the discovery and the connection with the artist behind it. Visit Anne’s table, explore the details, and bring home wearable art with a place in your own story.
↗Bread & Company
A good loaf can turn an ordinary meal into something worth gathering around. Bread & Company, Jill’s Hunterdon County cottage bakery, celebrates that simple pleasure with handcrafted sourdough, focaccia, and sweet treats. The sourdough breads and focaccia rise from a naturally leavened starter, while the bakery’s wider selection includes vegan and gluten-free options among its bakes. Pick up bread for a leisurely breakfast, slice a loaf alongside soup, or make focaccia the centerpiece of a market-inspired lunch. Leave a little room for something sweet to share—or to enjoy all to yourself. Jill’s baking brings the care of a local kitchen to your table, making this a delicious stop for both weekly staples and those small treats that make Saturday special.
