One of a kind pieces is how I can describe Alice Klein’s jewelry designs. I have known her for many years. She has been so innovative in her work. Located in the Town of Bethany Beach, Delaware, right on the beach. Address? 100 Garfield Parkway, Stores 6 and 7. Tel. 302-539-6992, Mobile 302-841-9088. http://www.alicehklein-tko.com.
Summer time is the time of the year to bring those beautiful colors out. I am talking specifically about turquoises. This past week, even though we have had torrential rains in the evening the morning skies are just amazingly blue.
I recently purchased a pair of turquoise earring from Alice for a present. She told me that this particular pair of earrings is called Sleeping Beauty Turquoise. The stones mined from this particular mine are very highly sought after because of its color. Hardly any veins or webbing. Pure blue sky color.
Fun to fine jewelry can be found at TKO. And, you may bring your dated jewelry for her to give it a new look. I have done it and can attest that her work is beautiful.
Turquoise stones have soared in prices because one of the best mines closed. The Sleeping Beauty Mine in Globe, Arizona closed. They produced breathtaking stones as I explained above.
Sleeping Beauty Turquoise got its name because “the mountain where it was mined resembles a sleeping woman laying on the back with arms crossed”.
They say that the color turquoise is associated with meanings of refreshing, calming, feminine, spiritual grounding, tranquility, serenity and loyalty among others.
Many years ago my grandmother gave me one that even though it is about 50 years old still brings a smile every time I wear it. And, in the summer I wear it all the time.
I am showing just a few things from TKO. Stop by to say hello to Alice and her husband, Bryant. Can’t leave him out. The shop is closed on Sundays.
Summer 2019 is flying by.

In 2006 Rooster’s Nest opened its doors and it has become a must stop kind of a shop. It is located at the Bayville Shopping Center on 37244 Lighthouse Rd., #108 in West Fenwick Island. Easy to get to from all Delaware Beaches and Ocean City, Maryland. Tel 302-436-1848. Website? http://www.roostersnest.com.
The Propietors are Sally Welsh and Bill Shoemaker. You can find find gifts, home furnishing and one of a kind pieces. All under one roof with very good price points.
So the other day I took a trip from Rehoboth to see what they were showing for Easter. Weather is getting warmer, thank God, and Spring is here!! That means a lot of us might want to refresh that certain room in the house, or buy something for friends’ birthdays; plenty of weddings are coming up. Sally told me that they had just finished redoing the store. The calm colors on the walls and the repositioning of furniture, it actually, makes it look bigger. They have so many neat things.
Sally pointed to me these birdhouses she had just gotten in. And the little shoes that could be displayed in so many ways.
Love the forever greenery. This is new to the store.
Paper placemats and table runners. Are they are trend or are they here to stay? They are sold in pads and there is so much to choose from for every occasion. They look great and they are not that expensive, either. You can use them daily, for small gatherings or big affairs. And, they can transform a table from boring to super fun and elegant, as well. And when finished, just throw them away. Rooster’s Nest has some really fun ones. They also have table runners.
Rooster’s Nest has a new line of bags….Katie Loxton from London. So affordable. Good looking too. Fun, small bags that convey a message to a special friend, a mother, and for bridesmaids.
I toured the store with nothing in mind to buy but ended up getting a few things. You cannot resist the tempetation. Love the colors of blues for the summer.
The line of jewelry by Julie Vos is beautiful. It is a little bit more pricey and the reason for that is that they are made of semi-precious stones, pearls and imported glass. It is hand-set in 24k gold plate so it will not tarnish. Made in the U.S.A. The right accessory can make of break an outfit. Keep that in mind.
Wishing you a very Happy Easter!!
