1. Blue Heron.
I was invited to an event here and immediately fell in love with the ambience. Owner Krista Jones thought of every amenity to make guests feel right at home. 13 E. King St., Malvern, (757) 373-3156.

2. Moss & Meadow.
I had such a fun time learning how to make an arrangement with owner Heather Moss Potter at one of her workshops. She makes it an easy experience—even for the novice arranger. 16 E. King St., Malvern, (610) 640-4016.

3. Posh Collections.
I love pieces that are beautifully made and unique. My most recent purchase from Posh was a navy tailored jacket to wear with a skirt or jeans, and a T-shirt with crocheted capped sleeves. 103 E. King St., Malvern, (610) 644-7220.
4. 92.5 XTU.
I start my mornings quiet. But by afternoon and early evening, I put on this country station to hear some of my favorite songs, whether old-school or today’s hits.

5. Julie Ann’s Place.
I love home fries any time of the day, so this is my weekly stop. Owner and chef Laura Iezzi knows my order by heart: Two dippy eggs (a central Pennsylvania thing), home fries, dry rye toast, and coffee or homebrewed iced tea. 22 S. Warren Ave., Malvern, (610) 640-1482.
