This a post that is to the point; short and sweet. I mentioned that as I was enjoying the art and craft show at the League in Henlopen Acres, my car was being ticketed. Upset, indeed I was.
I visited this morning with the League’s Executive Director, Sheila Bravo. We definitely had a nice conversation. The parking in Henlopen Acres is definitely a problem when an event such as this one is being held. Ms. Bravo did not know that people were parking on that road, therefore, nobody was there to tell visitors not to park on the street.
The sign? It was put afterwards by a neighbor that was feeling sorry for people getting tickets. Mind you that there were a lot of tickets given on that day.
The Rehoboth Art League is meeting today with the appropriate personnel in order for this not to happen again.
The Town of Henlopen was very gracious and professional and no since no signs were posted on that street before I parked, my ticket was voided.
So, thanks to both of you!!
Have a great day!! Talk to you later…

The Rehoboth Art League and its location is the perfect setting for an outdoor art and craft. This week-end and next week-end is the Rehoboth Art Leagues’s 38th Annual Outdoor fine Art & Craft Show in Rehoboth.
My friend, Gayle, and made our appearance early. It was so nice walking throught it all. We picked our favorite exhibitors and we also wished they would have had more crafts. The art show is bursting with paintings; more so than crafts.
These were some of my favorite exhibitors:
Anita Peghini-Raber – She has made Rehoboth Beach her home. Naturalistic Expressionism. You can visit her website www.rehobothart.com and see what she is all about.
Another exhibitor that caught my attention was the jewelry made by Astrid Peterson. She had some unique designs with semi precious stones. I noticed how she worked with her customers; friendly, taking time to explain the stones and the process of jewelry making. Her website? www.astridpetersonjewelry.com.
We decided to get some iced tea at The Point Coffee House, which had its owns special corner, serving some delicious and tempting goodies. Their website is www.thepointcoffee.com. Can’t wait to visit them in Rehoboth Beach.
A potter was immersed in his craft with an audience of young children.
We came across The Happyrock Pottery. The potter is Susan Gladstone. Her studio is at Celebration Mall, 20 Baltimore Ave., Rehoboth Beach. You can e-mail Susan at thehappyrock@earthlink.net.
Gayle and I were so impressed with her work. Her colors were gorgeous and the pottery was just the right size. Her prices were very reasonable, as well.
This art and craft show will be held on Sunday from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Next week-end, 8/20 and 8/21 the schedule will be as follows: Saturday at 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and on Sunday at 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Admission fee is $5.00.
Please note that you are not to park on the road; park on the lawns. I know what I am talking about because I got a $50 ticket today for that same reason.
This is exactly what I needed. A balance.
Have a good one!!….talk to you later…
