I wrote about The Lilypad last summer. At the time Gayle was working at the store. Lilypad was owned by a friend. Gayle is a retired teacher and thought working a few days would keep her occupied. Then, I was so surprised when she told me that she and her daughter, Paige, had bought the business. So, the other day I decided to stop by and see how they were doing.
The Lilypad is located at the Village-By-The-Sea Shops at 149 Rehoboth Ave. Tel. 302-227-4464. The e-mail address is LilypadRehoboth@yahoo.com. You can find The Lilypad Children’s Boutique on Facebook.
Every time I turn around I find that one of my friends is having a grandchild. I hope they read this post so they can start spoiling those little ones.
Gayle and Paige have rearranged the store a bit and it really looks good; not cluttered. So many cute things.
The Boys on one side and the Girls on the other. In between you will find lots of gifts like puzzles, stuffed animals, bows, charms and bracelets, and clothing for newborns. The store is well known for its assortment of Christening gowns. They were all protected and in plastic so I did not take any pictures. Best you call them for more info. or send them an e-mail.
A few brands caught my attention. See Kai Run, for example. This is a line of shoes that meet the American Podiatric Medical Association’s rigurous standards. It is family owned and operated with their business in Seattle, Washington. In stores since 2004 they are now sold in major retail stores and unique children’s shops.
Another brand was Daily Tea Clothing. Very popular. Started in San Francisco in 2002. The line evokes vintage beach days. They now also have a line for women, as well.
In a basket and on the counter I spotted nail polish. It was by a company called Piggy Paint. Great colors and completely natural; non-toxic, odorless, and kid friendly.
These were pretty funny!!
Gifts for both, boys and girls.
For the very little ones, there are some really cute things.
More merchandise is arriving every week. If you are in Rehoboth, stop by and introduce yourself.
Talk to you later….

Hello Gayle and Hello Paige – I’m impressed – this is a very nice website! Talked to Keith today, got the whole sewer line story. I just hope there is no pop quiz. Now that the toilet flushes, there is added inducement to come visit, although probably not in the immediate future – I’ll wait until it’s been thoroughly tested and has a track record.
fwiw, you should know that when I typed in the store name + Rehoboth, the first site that came up was the old one. The webpage says April 10, 2007. http://lilypadchildrensboutique.com/
Hopefully that is just a temporary thing.
Hope it was a good summer for the store and for you.
Take care, live long and prosper, peace love and understanding, etc., etc. Roger
I hope Gayle and Paige read it. Thanks for your comments to my blog.
