Jewelry trends seem to take us across the board. Depending on the occasion; a red carpet affair, or real life. Some pieces are really far out; others almost bearly there, making a subtle statement.
 
It is that time of the year; Mother’s Day, graduations, and weddings. Accessories can make a simple outfit look fantastic.
 Argentinian Designer; mixed metals, copper Vacationing in Rehoboth Beach? Then check out Studio S with 2 locations in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, within walking distance of each other. One is larger than the other. But get this; 60% of its jewelry is designed and made in Ocean City, Maryland.
Downtown Rehoboth Beach is great for walking and the shopkeepers are a friendly bunch. I met Susan, who works at Studio S, and after talking for a bit she told me that she was half Puerto Rican. She recognized my accent.
I was having breakfast with Jody and Debbie when we decided to stop at Studio S. You know how it is, checking things out in Rehoboth Beach before the crowds come in. I did not know that store was even there. They opened about a year ago. This location is at 70 Rehoboth Avenue, Unit 101. Tel. 302-227-5465. It is at First Street Station. The other location is at 301 Rehoboth Ave., Suite D. Tel. 302-227-5262. That location is at The Shops at the Pearl, where Cultured Pearl is located.
You can find Studio S on Facebook as Studio Jewelry Silver.
 Wallets too cute to pass. Melissa and Christopher Vaxmonsky are the owners of Studio S. Melissa designs all the jewelry that is made at their Ocean City, Maryland, shop and workshop, located at 9927 Stephen Decatur Hwy. F #10. Tel. 410-213-9752.
 
It was so nice of Melissa to talk to me for a bit. The store was sort of busy for a Monday morning. She told me that everything started with a sewing machine when she was in college. Both, she and her husband, finished their studies, worked, had a family and continued to create pieces of jewelry.
60% of their jewelry is made in-house. The other is brought from overseas. Melissa handpicks personally all of that jewelry, choosing specific designers and pieces with customers in mind.
Studio S also not only engraves jewelry pieces sold by them; they service the community with engraving available for pieces brought into the store by customers, as well as trophies.
I found that this particular store covered all age groups. It even had jewelry and watches for the guys.
Studio S also has artwork by local artists. Bags, scarves and purses that were colorful and fun for the summer.
 
The store is comfortable with subtle lighting.
The Delaware Beaches are very casual. It is that atmosphere that we love the most. From the beach to cocktails and then dinner. If you have your daughters and friends visiting, some of the fun necklaces and bracelets they are going to love.
 Beach fun Necklaces  Beach Fun Bracelets
Studio S does not advertise. It is all about word of mouth. Just like what I am doing right here.
I don’t know if something has caught your eye….if it did, then, you know what to do….Have a great day!

It is now evening and as I sat down to write this post, I was thinking that it was really a nice Sunday. It started with an early breakfast in downtown Rehoboth Beach with a friend. Then, I went to see what was going on at The Pottery Place where Doggies at The Beach had organized a fun event to raise money for the Georgetown Shelter, Delaware SPCA.
I have mentioned Doggies at The Beach often. It is where I leave my, rescued dog, Addy, when I go away. I do so with total confidence that she will get the best care. This is a cage free facility with 24 hour human supervision. They are located at 18806 John J. Williams Highway (Rt. 24) in Rehoboth. Tel. 302-644-8200. Website? http://www.doggiesatthebeach.com.
Jim, who is the top dog at this facility had organized this event. It took place at The Pottery Place, located at 20717 Coastal Highway (Rt. 1). Tel. 302-227-1660. Their other location is in Fenwick Island at Fenwick Sunshine Plaza, 1500 Coastal Highway (Rt. 1). Tel. 302-539-3603. Website http://www.potteryplaceperks.com.
Another sponsor was BIN 66 Fine Wine & Spirits with 2 locations. One, next to The Pottery Place at 20729 Coastal Highway (Rt. 1). This is their Highway One Flagship Store. Tel. 302-227-6161. Their other location is in Downtown Rehoboth Beach at 301 Rehoboth Ave. at The Shops at The Pearl. Tel. 302-227-6966. Website? http://www.bin66.com.
And, free hotdogs, cooked on site were offered by Bethany Blues Lewes. Bethany Blues Lewes is located at 618285 Coastal Highway (between Lewes and Rehoboth Beach). Tel. 302-644-2500. Website? http://www.bethanyblues.com. Eric was cooking and the grilled hotdogs were perfect!!
The proceeds from this fun event were for the Georgetown Shelter, Delaware SPCA. It is located at 22918 Dupont Blvd., Georgetown, DE. Tel. 302-856-6361. Website? www.delspca.org. When you open the website it will show two locations in Delaware. Click on the Sussex County Shelter. You can see what dogs are available and their story online.
This shelter has been so great in promoting their dogs. You can also find them on Facebook at Georgetown Shelter, Delaware SPCA. They have tons of events to raise awareness and funds and to find their adoptable dogs their forever homes. The facebook page will give you updates and keep you informed as the dogs get adopted. They are doing an amazing job. The volunteers are caring and, definitely, animal lovers.
Today they had one cat at the event, but they have plenty at the shelter.
Their dogs were:
Fozzy, aka Fozzy Bear - I fell in love with him. He was so gentle and so funny. Very well behaved. If you want to check him out, and read his story, go on the website above mentioned and he is there as Fozz-35.
Valentino was so cute and full of energy. You will find him on the website as Valentino-102.
Beetle was very interested in my hotdog. He can be found at the website under Beetle-213.
 That's Valentino with the Volunteer Phineas & Ferb were found together and what a pair they were!! Obedient and amazingly calm. They will need to be adopted together. You can read more about them on the website as Phineas & Ferb.
People were mingling and having fun. Some brought their dogs and were having their pictures taken at the Party Booth.
This little dog was sitting in the lifeguarding chair posing like she did that every day.
Definitely, a diva…check her nails!! The perfect pedicure.
What surprised us the most was the arrival of Reggie, the potbelly pig. He came with its owner who had adopted Reggie from the Georgetown Shelter, Delaware SPCA. He was so sweet and so friendly!! He also is used to dogs since there are a few in his household.
What is left to say? Well, animals bring joy, peace, and serenity to its owners. It is proven that therapy dogs improve the lifes of the ones they touch. I look at Addy and she looks back with those eyes that say “thank you for giving me a chance”. If only she realized that she has given so much more in return.
Talk to you later…

It was Sunday and I was trying to figure out what restaurant to choose in Downtown Rehoboth Beach for dinner with a couple of friends. We have plenty of restaurants, you know. And, quite good, as well. Sunday evening is a quieter time and I love it.
So, I decided to check Lupo di Mare’s website. You can open it yourselves, as well. It is http://www.lupodimarerehoboth.com. You see that fish there on the dinner menu? That’s what I wanted for dinner. No more thinking.
Lupo di Mare is located at 247 Rehoboth Ave. in the Hotel Rehoboth. Tel. 302-226-2240. The restaurant has huge windows overlooking the Avenue. You can order take out. But, no reservations. If you have to wait a bit, just have a drink at the bar. It is small, but comfortable.
Their food is fresh, with pastas and sauces made daily. Lupo di Mare offers take out. The restaurant is well aware of people with food allergies and will accommodate you as much as they can and are able to. It has been consistently good.
I also really like their focaccia bread with a side order of Virgin Olive Oil. The bread has a slight sweetness to it and the red pepper flakes adds just a hint of flavor to the oil.
We also ordered oven roasted marcona almonds with rosemary and sea salt. They were perfect to have with our drinks.
I have only had the Shaved Brussels Sprouts at Lupo di Mare. The truffle oil and pecorino make this appetizer or salad, one of my favorites. It is truly delicious.
One of my guests had pasta, baked with spicy sausage, eggplant, ricotta, mozzarella and fresh herbs. I had to be quick with the camera because he was ready to start eating.
My husband decided on Chargrilled Octupus. This was a starter appetizer and it had shaved fennel, black olive tapenade, white beans, fresh herbs and lemon.
Another of my guests decided that she would have just a salad for dinner. The pistachio, chickpea and beet salad with bleu cheese, shaved brussels, balsamic and crushed pistachios and extra Virgin Olive Oil. I have had this salad in the past and the combination of all those ingredients makes this salad full of flavor.
My dish was perfect and I got exactly what I wanted. Pan seared Sea Bass served with a side of broccoli rabe, with red and yellow peppers, garlic and extra Virgin Olive Oil. Talking about flavor in a dish. When you have a whole fish, you really get exactly what the fish should taste like. I know the bones get to some of you but this particular fish was easy to work with.
No dessert was ordered since we had eaten quite a bit. I think I had a coffee and our evening was one of those where you take a deep breath and give thanks for having such good friends.
Talk to you later…have a good one!!
May 4th, 2012
When my friend Jody called me the other day to remind me that the Lunch with a Purpose luncheon was going to be on Friday, May 4th, I said “Of course”, “I’ll be ready”. Come to think of it, I really did not know what Lunch with a Purpose was about. I knew it had to do with charities, but that was about it.
Well, surprise surprise. I have told you before that I have lived here for so many years. You would think that at this gathering of women I would have known another person besides Jody. Not one person I knew or, actually, recognized. Where have I been living? Unreal.
Lunch with a Purpose started in 2006. It’s Mission? “To support charitable organizations in Sussex County, and the Food Bank of Delaware.” Sussex County is where the Delaware Beaches are and it is the largest county in Delaware.
From September to May, on the first Friday of each month, Lunch with a Purpose has a new location and a new charity. Yes, If you do have a charity, here in Sussex County, you can contact them so they can put you on their schedule of luncheons.
And this organization is comprised of women only. You can find Lunch with a Purpose Coastal Delaware on Facebook, as well.
Lunch with a Purpose is the largest contributor in Sussex County to the Delaware Food Bank. 5,400 pounds of food were donated during the 2010 – 2011 collection season.
What started with a handful of women in 2006 is now an organization of over 600 women, making a difference in Sussex County and Coastal Delaware.
Please note that 100% of all proceeds go directly to the local charities; keeping it, here, in Sussex County.
This was going to be the last lunch of the season until next September. The location was the beautiful Baywood Greens Golf Club located on Rt. 24 in Long Neck, Delaware.
This last luncheon was sold out in 2 days. That’s how popular it is. Upon reserving, you arrive, pay $15 for the lunch, and grab a seat at a table. You can make new friends, just like I did. There is a 50/50 raffle. Throughout the room you will find silent auction items. You can buy as many tickets as you want. So many items; the community, the artists, the shops, and restaurants, have been so generous.
The ladies were moving around the silent auction, or stopping at the bar to get a drink. This room probably held about 250 people and if was completely full.
When you make a reservation for one of these luncheons, you have a couple of choices of food. Jody had chosen a salad for me, which was light and delicious.
Other choices were a chicken sandwich and a vegetarian sandwich. Cookies for dessert.
Cheryl Mitchell welcomed everyone. Announcements were made regarding the funds raised for this year and believe me it was an impressive number considering that they only meet once a month for not even a full year.
The charity chosen for this last luncheon was the Alzheimer’s Association – Early Diagnosis. Sussex County falls under the Delaware Valley Chapter. The address is 108 N. Bedford St., P.O. Box 625, Georgetown, DE 19947. Tel. 302-854-9788 or visit www.alz.org/desjsepa. The color purple was on flowers and other decorations; it is the color of Alzheimer.
The lady that spoke works for the Alzheimer’s Association. For me she became the new face of Alzheimer’s. She spoke of her warning signs, her diagnosis, her daily life, and looking towards the future. She does not let Alzheimer’s define her. The way she spoke was moving. Most, in that luncheon, new of someone with Alzheimer’s. Her words were deep and very emotional to all of us that were there.
If you would like to know more about Lunch With A Purpose, please contact Cheryl Mitchell at cherylmitchell13@gmail.com.
There were a few winners at my table; I was not one of them. I put so many tickets on the golf package at The Peninsula. I was sure I would get that one.
Time flew by and it was time to say our good-byes….It is so funny when I think of how this area is called “Slower Lower Delaware”…no way. Look at us now.
What a nice afternoon!! Talk to you later.
Note: When attending a luncheon, please bring canned goods. All of them will be given to the Delaware Food Bank.

Going to Rehoboth this week-end? So am I. After been away for over a week, it is time to leave The Village by the Sea, or Delray Beach, and start enjoying the beginnings of what is expected to be a fantastic summer season at the Delaware Beaches.

April 21st, 2012
Just one mile long, 3 blocks wide. On the east, is the Atlantic Ocean; on the west, is Rehoboth Bay. Coastal Highway or Rt. 1 separates the two. Water sports aficionados, this is your town. And, party-goers? You already know what this town is all about; music venues, bars, restaurants, entertainment.
Dewey Beach was incorporated in 1981. Accolade like “Superstar Beach” by the Natural Resource Defense Council has given Dewey this award for its perfect water quality ratings.
Even with all the partying that goes on at night, Dewey, is also a family town. During the summer, movies on the beach and other activities; a tot lot and a gorgeous beach. It is a playground for all; a well balanced act.
As warmer temperatures hit the Delaware Beaches, this town of only a few hundreds in the winter, will find thousands of visitors this summer.
New this year…The town of Dewey Beach is proud to offer the 2012 Lifeguard Chair and Umbrella Sponsorship Program. This program is open to property owners and businesses within Dewey Beach only. The cost of sponsorship is $1,000 for the 2012 season.
This will include, both, a plaque attached to the back of a Dewey Beach Lifeguard chair and an umbrella with the name or logo of the sponsor printed on one panel. All logos must be approved by the Dewey Beach Marketing Committee. No endorsements of products or specials are allowed.
With only 17 chairs available, it will be on a “first come” and “first paid” basis, along with a completed and approved application.
The sponsorship sale starts on Saturday, May 5th.
For more information, please visit www.townofdeweybeach.com. Click on the heading that says “The Town of Dewey Beach is Proud….”. You can download an application and read more about this new program in Dewey. You can also contact Gary Keith at gary4dewey@yahoo.com.
So, if you are a habitual visitor to Dewey and to The Starboard, then you better get your VIP card. Avoid those lines to get into one of the most popular restaurants/bars in Dewey. This card has been available for years….it’s just that the 2012 is just like the antique Delaware Tag.
The Starboard affords its patrons everything. Breakfast, lunch, late night bites. It has the best Bloody Mary Bar on the beach, with 18 brands of Vodka.
