Our featured Bucks County Woman
Gretchen Tartakoff
profession:
Executive Assistant, Event Planner, Project Manager, Chocolate Muse
how did you hear
about BCW?
I saw it first in the waiting area of a local business.
how do you spend
your free time?
Learning new things, going to chocolate shops everywhere I travel, reading cookbooks and learning new things about Project management, baking, bird watching, cross country skiing, gardening, working out and going to the beach with my family.
what I love about living
in Bucks County:
Cross country skiing when it snows. It reminds me of all the purest things that Bucks County represents. It’s so beautiful to see the birds, the open fields and nature shimmer. Living in this area, I get to look forward to the annual Bucks Beautiful Garden and Home Show. I get so excited when I have the date to put it on my calendar. I’ve volunteered for more than four or five years now, because it connects me with some of those people who also love to garden, to talk about success stories with plantings and who appreciate works in nature.
I also love living here because it’s so convenient to get to other places by car or to either Philadelphia or Newark airport. When you come back from a trip, there’s always a renewed apprecia- tion for how special it is along the Delaware, the small shops, wineries, fun restaurants. Most of all, in its scenic beauty and place in history, it’s a place where I feel I can make history, too. People will begin to think of Bucks County as a place to come visit in the late spring because they want to come to the Bucks County Chocolate Show—how cool is that!

favorite place to shop:
Intrigue because I like the uniqueness of their clothing and the way they make it easy to pull together an outfit.
motto to live by:
Some people create change and others are forced into it. I prefer to create it and thrive on the variety and opportunities change offers.
I am inspired by:
Nature, art and creations by pastry artists.
advice to other women:
Attracting abundance, on all levels with positive energy, is something that’s possible for everyone who believes it’s possible. Write down what you want to accomplish, before you go to bed, every night. Visualize it and write out the steps involved in making it happen. Begin to write it as if it is true, and step into action to make it real. It’s all about believing in yourself and celebrating it.
