 Bill Shoemaker, Proprietor You can’t help but fall in love with Rooster’s Nest. It opened in 2006. Since then the word has spread….a must stop shop when visiting the Delaware Beaches. It is located at the Bayville Shopping Center on 37244 Lighthouse Rd., #108 in West Fenwick Island. Tel. 302-436-1848. Website? http://www.roostersnest.com. It is about 3 miles west from Coastal Highway in Fenwick Island. It is also very accessible to Ocean City, Maryland, since Rt. 54 is on the Delaware/Maryland line.
 
The Proprietors are Sally Walsh and Bill Shoemaker. They have been able to assemble a shop that offers the discriminating shopper fine gifts, home furnishings, children’s gifts, one of a kind pieces, stationery, and jewelry….all under one roof.
The merchandise changes constantly, pieces go quickly, but the other day as 10 of us entered the store it was really full of beautiful things. Ooohs, and Aahs….I want this or that was all we could hear. The staff is great and very helpful.
So, let’s shop…
Home Furnishings:
Candles, stationery and fun stuff:
The swimmers are decorative and the Booty Buddy is made of neoprene which will protect your swim suit at the pool or the beach.
 
Handbags and totes….we love them!!
Rooster’s Nest offers several lines of jewelry.
Sally and her staff will answer questions, and help you look for that special gift. It is a great store. I just gave you a sample….you have to see it for yourself.
 
Talk to you later.

The artists in Southeastern Delaware are opening their doors to their studios once again, as they have been doing for 19 years. This is a free, self-guided tour of the studios of 13 of Delaware’s most talented artists and artisans, all located in Southeastern Sussex County. You can talk to them, ask questions, see them work, buy some of their pieces of art, but most of all, get to know them personally.
The event takes place on Friday, 11/29 and Saturday, 11/30 from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Remember to buy local and buy tax free in Delaware. More info? Please visit http://www.artstudiotour.com. Open the website and click on the map to see where all the studios are located.
Each artist has donated a piece of art for “Art in the Hat Raffle”. 100% of the proceeds from this raffle will benefit art programs throughout the local community. Raffle tickets are $4.99 each or 5 for $20. You can get them at each studio. To see what each artist has donated, please visit http://www.artstudiotour.com/raffle.htm.
One of my favorite artists is Tom Frey, who is located in Dagsboro. He is a woodturner. Mr. Frey uses mostly local woods that are stressed by nature.
His miniatures are beautiful and if you are lucky enough he might be working on some of them as you visit his studio.
Note: Damon Pla will not be on the tour this year.
Have a great time!!
