Tulip is one of my “go to” stores in Rehoboth Beach. Located at 29819 Coastal Highway (Rt. 1). Tel. 302-226-2696. Website? http://www.tulipltd.com. Tulip is completely decked out for the holidays. It does not stop there, though, because Tulip opens year-round. There are 2 floors and plenty of rooms to roam and find that perfect gift for the holidays.
 
 
I have plenty of friends that have become grandmothers in 2013. The First Christmas ornament is a must!
The New Year’s table at the beaches reflect our casual attitude with flair and understated elegance.
A fun New Year’s with the new ceramic Solo Cups!!
And once the Holidays are a thing of the past….redecorating, adding something here or there….
 
Art, lighting, and furniture…
Have a great day….Merry Christmas!! Love this soap necklace!!

Looking for the handcrafted trees, that can be used for holiday decorations or to keep necklaces in order….I went to Tiger Lili located at 36706 Bayside Outlets in Rehoboth Beach. I found them!! Very cute and some either can be staked into the ground….
 
Tiger Lili has another location on the ocean block in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, but this was my first visit to this very trendy shop, located at the Bayside Outlets. Rehoboth Beach has many outlets and the majority are stores that are nationally known. Therefore, it is great to see that “shop local and shop small” can be incorporated into outlet shopping. Tiger Lili also ships, so if you see something that catches your attention in the following photos…..call them at 302-226-0400 so they can get it to you for the holidays.
Tiger Lili is fully stocked…comfortable shopping experience. The dressing rooms are great.
This post is for women only…you already can see that. I walked around the store and plenty of items got my attention. Women love to shop; it is part of our DNA. I asked…what is a best seller during the Holiday Shopping Season? Without hesitation…the Nicole Scarves and the “fleece leggins” with a little control top!!! They have so many colors and they are definitely selling.
 
Even though Tiger Lili has plenty of accessories….the necktie necklace is also a big seller this year.
 
Other necklaces…
 
Coats…
 
Handbags…
 
Ringing the New Year carrying something special at Tiger Lili’s affordable price is….they also have it in gold.
Happy Shopping!! 12 days until the big day!!

For me, shopping small and local has always been something that I have enjoyed. I have plenty of friends that love going “mall” shopping….not for me. I like that up close and personal kind of service. Which brings me to NEST, located at 11 South Main Street in Historic Berlin, Maryland. Tel. 410-629-1030.
Driving to Berlin from Rehoboth Beach, takes about half hour. No big deal, it is the Second Season so there is no traffic. Strolling a historic town, checking what’s new during the holidays is pretty nice, so Jody and I did just that.
I think Petey is really the Mayor of Historic Berlin. He is such a hard working little dog. I have featured him before and once again here he is…..greeting the customers and making sure that Dee gets up and gives us that personal attention we were looking for. Now, you tell me…where would you find something like this in a “mall”? You gotta love it!!
Dee has been quilting. Her remnants have become quilts. The reverse of the quilts is soft and warm.
Dee calls her handmade handbags Boppyowl. She offers 2 sizes and they are made with beautiful rich fabrics, lined with contrasting colors.
 
NEST is an eclectic and funky shop. Every time you shop, there are surprises; local artwork, jewelry, home accessories. At this time of the year the shop is fully stock. Berlin’s 2nd Friday Art Stroll will be on Friday, 12/14, so make sure you make NEST one of your stops.
NEST carries unwined candles from Unwined Candle Co., located in Sykesville, Maryland….from recycled wine bottles.
NEST opens year-round. Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., Sunday from 12 until 4 p.m. You can find NEST on Facebook, as well.
Merry Christmas!!

Let’s start with homegrown figs…my own. Over the years I have talked about my figs until blue in the face. There are years where I have had so many that it was even hard to give them away.
So, I gave a huge bowl of figs to Wally. He owns Tulip, located at 20819 Highway One (Coastal Highway) in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Tel. 302-226-2696. Website? httpo://www.tulipltd.com.
Besides working his store, Wally’s other passion is canning. Surprise surprise!!….His pickled figs this year were called Glorious Pickled Figs. And, how lucky I was to get some.
The recipe of Cornish Game Hens with Prosciutto and Pickled Figs turned out to be so easy….I did not have to do much.
I roasted the hens on a 350 degree convection oven until they were nice and crispy….about 40 minutes. These hens were fat, and all I had to do is baste them a bit with butter, paprika, and spices.
I took them out of the oven and cut them in half and draped the prosciutto over each half. Placed figs and juice all over them and placed in the middle rack of the oven. Then, the oven went on broil until the ham started to brown. It took about 10 to 15 minutes.
The flavors were amazing, salty, sweet, mild….and very juicy. Add an acorn squash, veggies and you have an elegant meal.
To Wally: Thanks so much!! And, the strawberry jam was awesome!!!

Just as you find plenty of restaurants and art galleries in Delray Beach, Florida, you will also find many boutiques and small specialty shops, as well. From jewelry and accessories to homegoods, Delray Beach offers visitors a must do shopping experience.
So, as I waited for my friend, Danika and her constant companion, Prince Pierre, I strolled Atlantic Avenue. What got my attention was the handbag on the window and the necklace. Then I stepped in and met Arnona Cohen, who is the Manager at Unique Boutique.
Unique Boutique is located at 204 East Atlantic Avenue in Downtown Delray. Tel. 561-272-6654. The store is owned by Kaaren Beaton, who also owns stores in Naples and Cape Cod.
 
The shop has just enough…high end jewelry, handbags, shoes, and accessories.
Arnona and I were just shooting the breeze; nothing in particular. A little of her life, my life; pretty much a friendly chat.
The shops in Delray Beach stay open at night. Stroll them before or after dinner to pick up a little something from your trip to The Village by The Sea.
Check out the sale corner, as well.
Have a Good One!!

It goes without saying that shopping at the Delaware Beaches is part of the ritual if you are visiting Southern Delaware. Tax free shopping!! Our casual lifestyle at the beaches is fun and carefree . As I was walking in Rehoboboth Beach this week-end I had my picks.
I was thinking that adding spunk and pizzaz with accessories for ourselves or homes can either make or break the look. The rule of thumb is not to overpower. This rule is timeless. Use accessories that will work with your wardrobe or your home decor.
Remember that it is called an accessory because you want it to enhance and not overshadow.
No outfit is complete without the proper accessory.
In Downtown Rehoboth Beach on the ocean block I found Tiger Lili. This shop has clothing, jewelry, handbags, shoes, and accessories….Sorry guys, not for you.
These bags were calling Summer!!
And these were the cutest sandals. And, since it is going to be in the 80s this week, they are the perfect sandal to wear out and about in town or wear them to dinner.
 
Nothing better than a good conversation piece or pieces when having guests for drinks or dinner. There is a new store in town called The Spice & Tea Exchange, also located on the ocean block in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. These items will get your guests talking.
The Himalayan Grater Stone is beautiful pink salt that is harvested by hand from ancient sea-beds located in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains. All you have to do is put them on the table and grate the salt with a micro-planer. It comes out very fine and you don’t need that much to get great taste.
The salt blocks and platters are also going to create great conversation. These blocks and platters can be heated or cooled; put them in the oven or freezer. They can be used for food preparation and table presentation.
Mod Cottage is located at 247 A Rehoboth Avenue. This shop has great accessories for the home and plenty for gift giving, as well.
 
Jane & Georgie just inaugurated their new building…same spot on 419 Rehoboth Avenue. This shop has plenty of indulgences, we, women love. Tops, dresses, and the beach indispensables.
At 29819 Coastal Highway you will find Tulip. It has everything you can imagine…furniture, lamps, art…but since I am concentrating on accessories, these finds were perfect. The stone on this bracelet is Labradorite. Other stones are available.
Plenty of more shops to visit in the Nation’s Summer Capital!! Let the Summer of 2013 begin!

I was totally surprised to hear that people think Tulip is a garden center. For many years I lived in the town of Bethany Beach….that’s where Tulip is from. It was in town and always was a must stop shop in Bethany. A few years ago it moved to Rehoboth Beach. The store has a much bigger locale and plenty of parking.
Tulip is located at 29819 Highway One, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. 302-226-2696. It is family owned. Website? http://www.tulipltd.com
The store was always known for its lighting. Today, Tulip offers furniture, accessories, and gifts.
It also has a really cute corner for children, with sweaters hand knitted in Rehoboth Beach. Gifts for babies and fun things for toddlers.
 
The store is full of neat ideas for the holidays. I found and actually, bought, the Corkcicle. On my picture, if you look to the left of the lamp you can spot it. It freezes and then it cools your wine from the inside out.
The Dazzler is a battery operated candle. It has a LED bulb technology, it lasts about 5 hours, and runs on 2-AA batteries.
 
Holiday and New Year’s decorative place mats, napkins and surprises.
 
The glass crab ornament caught my attention.
Besides having a room dedicated to Vera Bradley, they also carry Bosom Buddy Bags.
 
Tulip also carries gifts for every occasion.
 
For the women that enjoy jewelry, a line from Florida, completely handcrafted with organic elements, nickel and lead free…also hypoallergenic.
You can find even some even on sale.
The second floor offers furniture, lighting, art and home accessories.
 
Now that you know that Tulip is not a garden center, by all means, stop by. They are very helpful if you are somewhat clueless on what you would like to purchase for that person that has it all.
Talk to you later. Have a good one!!

I was walking around in Downtown Rehoboth Beach when I decided to stop at Tiger Lili to find a present for one of my best friends. There were a couple of celebrations going her way and I knew I would find something different at Tiger Lili, located at 18 Rehoboth Avenue. Tiger Lili has another location at the Tanger Outlets on Coastal Highway, as well.
I guess this post is for women only. Tiger Lili specializes in unique handbags, clothing, jewelry, and accessories at very affordable prices. You can find Tiger Lili on Facebook. Tel. 302-226-0731. It opens year-round.
No outfit is complete without accessories. You will find plenty at Tiger Lili. Plus, you will get personal service. I have mentioned many times that the shopkeepers and the staff that work the shops in Downtown Rehoboth Beach are very personable. They become friends. That’s what I love about shopping in town. You can’t beat that one on one interaction; no rush, either.
Meet Lili Kohr. She is the owner of Tiger Lili. She is originally from Panama so we were able to practice our Spanish. Her clothing and accessories are more cutting edge; different from the rest. And, by the way, she was Mrs. Delaware 2008.
So…let’s not snooze and lose. What are we waiting for? There are sales going on Downtown Rehoboth Beach. Let’s stop writing and start shopping!! This is Tiger Lili.
Sweaters, scarves and handbags.
   
The weather has turned cooler…it’s that time of the year!!
     
Have a great time in Rehoboth today….not so fast, just a bit more shopping!!
Talk to you later…
