Shop Local….The Wooden Indian is one of those boutiques that couldn’t be more local. Located on the trendy Baltimore Avenue, it is an iconic shop in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. It has been here since 1977. If Frances Cowgill happens to be there when you visit, please ask her to tell you from the beginnings ot The Wooden Indian until now. She has been there all that time. Location? 25 Baltimore Ave., Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. 302-227-8331. Find them on Facebook. Website? http://www.woodenindianltd.com

Every time I have written about The Wooden Indian I have to mention that when my kids were very young I would bring them into the store. The first time they looked at me probably thinking “if you break it, you buy it”. What they did not know then was that I would have told them that they could only touch with their eyes. Amazingly so I never had a problem.

The Wooden Indian has an extensive bridal registry department. China, crystal, silverware and other gifts appropriate for weddings and parties in a wide variety of prices.

Exquisite brands…the store is beautifully appointed. Upon entering you feel right at home. Not only a friendly staff, but the building itself is cozy.

Great pillows to refresh those sofas at home.

We, here in Delaware, have tax free shopping. It really is a big savings, so take the opportunity to shop in our beach towns. At The Wooden Indian, they can fix party baskets for all seasons. They will wrap your gifts beautifully. They also can ship.

I don’t know about you but my friends are grandparents now many times over. Baby gifts that are unique can be found at The Wooden Indian. Look how cute they are.

You have to agree that they are very different from what you get in other stores.

I can guarantee you that you will find that perfect gift you are looking for.

Summer 2019 is here….and so is June. We have many coastal weddings, taking advantage of our beautiful resort towns.

Until next time…..Relax, You are At The Beach!!

Shopping in…Downtown Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, The Wooden Indian, Home Accessories, Gifts, China, Premier Bridal Registry, An Iconic Store, Delaware Beaches

 

 

An iconic shop; that’s what I call The Wooden Indian.  Since 1977 in our community, this shop is a representation of what shopping in Downtown Rehoboth Beach has become.  First class, sophisticated, charming, exquisitively appointed, accessible to all.

I remember when my children were young, they would look at me like I was from another world, as I would come into The Wooden Indian and the first thing I would say was: Touch only with your eyes. You know that look, don’t you?  It worked because they never broke anything, thank God.

The Wooden Indian is located at 25 Baltimore Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach.  Tels. 302-227-8331, 800-225-8331.  The website is www.woodenindianltd.com.  On Facebook, it can be found as Woodenindian Rehoboth.  That might be your best best as you will be able to follow updates and what’s coming new into the store.

This is the second season for Paul and Joseph, the proprietors.  Under their creative strengths, The Wooden Indian has acquired a modern simplicity that I noticed as I came in.  You can move through the store with ease; every item is beautifully displayed.

One person that is key in this shop is Frances.  I think she has seen the beginnings, the ups and downs of the store and the resurgence of what The Wooden Indian represents at the Delaware Beaches.

Rehoboth Beach is a very walkable town and The Wooden Indian is one street north of Rehoboth Avenue. 

The Wooden Indian is still there as you come into the store; to the left. 

Well known brands are Lynn Chase, Waterford, Herend, Godiva, Royal Copenhagen, Beatriz Ball, Vietri, Nambe, and Vera Wang, among others.

The shop will wrap and ship.  Baskets can be made for presents.  A variety of preserves, peanuts, sauces, and dressings.

 

A new line of  jewelry by designer Esther-Ann Ingram, an independent shell artist arranging shells into beautiful works of art.  One of a kind pieces; the shells come from all over the world.

 

The Bridal Registry is an integral part of the traditional wedding preparation.  The Wooden Indian has china, crystal, silverware, and plenty of gifts in a wide variety of prices.

It is a special time of the year. Plenty of weddings during the summer months.  The beaches are an attraction for that special day.

And, for the new addition to the family, they also have presents, as well.

 

The Wooden Indian is part of Rehoboth Beach….talk to you later.
