The Lilypad, Children’s Boutique, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Children’s Clothing, Toys, Christening Gowns, Gifts, Delaware Beaches
I have been attending a few weddings. Yes, some of my friends’ children are getting married. Time really flies by. It was only yesterday when a lot of us would be running to Epworth Pre-school or Giant Step, here in Rehoboth Beach, where those children grew up.
But wait a minute, I do have more than a few friends with grandchildren too. I had not thought about that, but it is true.
How do I envision what a grandparent should look like? No, no, the image of grandparents today is so completely different; far from the rocking chair of yesterday. Active, fun and energetic; they are the ones buying for the children. So, maybe this post is for them.
I found myself walking through the Village by the Sea complex in downtown Rehoboth on Friday and I saw Gayle. She was just coming out from a children’s boutique called The Lilypad. I was wondering what she was doing there. Well, she works there and has been for the past 3 years. She has 2 grandchildren and you know where her paycheck is going; working in a children’s store. I could not help but to come in and check it out since this information will be valuable to those new grandparents.
The Lilypad is located at 149 Rehoboth Ave., Village by the Sea, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. 302-227-4464. The website is www.lilypadchildrensboutique.com. You can also find them on Facebook. Please note that you are not able to order yet from the website. Lilypad will special order and ship.
The owner of the store is Lily Gosnear. On most days, you can find Gayle there, as well.
As you come in, you cannot help but smile; colorful and full of children’s apparel, blankets, shoes, toys, boots, Vineyard Vines for Children and gifts.
Lilypad is well known for their Christening gowns. This store carries a large inventory of the gowns for that special day.
One item that caught my attention was these Snap Caps, started by 2 girls who have revolutionized the bottle cap and the magnet. They took bottle caps and placed artistic impressions inside; glitter, rhinestones, magnet on the back and a craze started. They also have slides and chokers. Sold in over 700 stores nationwide!!
They are targeting the “tween” market. Tweens are “in between” the traditional child and teenage stages of development.
Ayway, the store is very cute and now you know where to go to buy that special gift for that child in your life.
Have a great Sunday!! The beaches are crowded….and we love it!!
