Some coastal resorts like Rehoboth Beach, and all the Delaware Beaches, are now in their Second Season, while others, like Delray Beach, Florida, become a winter’s destination for many you want to escape the colder weather ahead.
Pretty soon these will be every day scenes in Delray Beach, Florida.
Delray Beach is one of those towns in South Florida that is very accessible. Two major airports, are close to this Village by the Sea. Known also as the most small fun town in the U.S., Delray Beach offers its visitors amazing beaches, completely unobstructed, a downtown full of shops and restaurants and plenty of music and entertainment, as well.
Shopping local in these towns mean that you support the local economy. The merchants in Delray Beach and the artists are the heart of the community.
Shop Small is a movement to celebrate small businesses every day and to help communities thrive. Delray Beach invites you to Shop Small throughout the month of November. On Saturday, November 30th is Small Business Saturday. With over 400 small businesses in Downtown Delray Beach, you will have plenty to choose from….the holidays are fast approaching.
Delray Beach is also a town of many festivals….so stay tuned!!

I bumped into Deanna as I was taking pictures of a beautiful day in Lewes. The weather was a bit cooler and I am, definitely, ready for it…and what a difference a few days make.
I followed Deanna into her own store….Deanna’s, located at 111-113 Second Street, Lewes, DE 19958. Tel. 302-644-1112. Second Street in Historic Lewes is Main Street. Lots of shops and restaurants are found on this street and surrounding streets, as well.
It seems like it was just yesterday but Deanna has had her store for about 19 years. The store has merchandise catering to a wide range of ages. You will find Deanna and Ashley, her daughter, receiving customers, chatting with them, and making them feel at home as they shop in a store that has all those indispensables that we love here at the beaches. And if you are shopping with your significant other….there is a nice comfortable sofa to make him feel at home or if you want to rest a bit.
Casual clothing, jeans and sweaters.
Shoes…summer and winter.
Dresses….
Perfect for this time of the year…These long tees are flying out of the store.
For the little ones….look what I found!
So, remember that in spite of the rain…the stores are open, tax free shopping in Delaware and Columbus Week-End is Here!! And, are the Sales!

Pamper your skin; is your body ready for Spring? I am sure it is all stressed from the cold weather. But think about this; pretty soon the Uggs will come off and hello to beautiful sandals…guys, I am including you in this post. Products just for you.
Last Fall I discovered Little Egg Harbor Soap Company, L.E.H. Their soaps are made in New Jersey. They are made with oils of coconut, palm, olive, sunflower, castor and shea butter. They make them in small batches; using all the best natural ingredients.
In Downtown Rehoboth Beach you can find them at 127 C Rehoboth Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971 Tel. 302-260-9813. Website? http://www.lehsoap.com. At present, they are open Thursday through Monday. That will soon change as the Delaware Beaches get ready for the Season.
I stopped by to get a couple of gifts and to check out what was going on? Was there anything new? Cinda Dera is the Store Manager. She knows everything there is to know about their products and the ones they represent.
I totally fell in love with the Pomango Soap. Not only did it smell deliciously of pomegranate and mango, but it looked beautiful.
They also have a Pomango all natural body butter that smells so good and it softens your skin immediately.
The soaps made by L.E.H. have enticing names like Citrus Splash, Henlopen Pine, Wild Watermelon, Sex on the Beach, Jersey Girl, and Hot Chocolate among others.
Even though it is still cold, you have to think ahead. Sandals. I found a Cooling Foot Natural Food “Creme”. This will do the job.
L.E.H. carries Soap & Scrub – soap and scrub all in one. This particular product is not made by them. I thought they looked perfect for the beach.
The Balm is a product that a bit goes a long way. It is not greasy, and does not clog pores. Perfect for soothing dry irritated skin.
Besides their own soaps, L.E.H. has French milled soaps, as well. “The French milling process ensures that each bar is consistent in color, fragrance, and texture. The soaps last longer, and keep their shape.
French daily essentials for men. The line from Mistral is everything a man would want for skin care and fragrance. They have shaving cream, body and hair wash, exfoliating, and face scrub. Women also buy some of these products.
Award-winning products from Billy Jealousy. This company was founded in 2004 and has already won major magazine awards from Men’s Health & Esquire. It is distributed to many countries worldwide and it is also used by many well-known celebrities. Products for shaving, for the face, body, and hair. They are made in Dallas, Texas.
The soy candles are fantastic…hooked on the guava one. The tower of miniature soy candles; these are perfect for the bathroom.
Note: Thanks L.E.H. Soap Company for your donation to Chicks for Charity Southern Delaware. The lady that won was at my table.
