Independent boutiques, vintage shops. It is all about finding a niche and discovering what Historic Lewes has to offer.
Take, for example, Aqua Marine. It is located at 114 Second St., Lewes, DE 19958. Tel. 302-644-4550. You can find them on Facebook. New!! A website!! www.aquamarineat114.com.
This boutique is owned by Maureen. You will always find her and her mother at their shop. Both of them will take care of you like there is no other customer at the boutique. They are friendly, will tell you exactly how your outfit fits and give you constructive ideas.
Aquamarine is full of merchandise. Lots of bright colors this summer. Oranges, blues, yellows, you name it.
Aqua Marine has plenty of flirty sandals to add fun to your summer outfits. Stop by and see what I mean when I tell you that the shopkeepers of our Delaware Beaches are the Best!!
Talk to you later…have a good one.

Jewelry trends seem to take us across the board. Depending on the occasion; a red carpet affair, or real life. Some pieces are really far out; others almost bearly there, making a subtle statement.
It is that time of the year; Mother’s Day, graduations, and weddings. Accessories can make a simple outfit look fantastic.

Vacationing in Rehoboth Beach? Then check out Studio S with 2 locations in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, within walking distance of each other. One is larger than the other. But get this; 60% of its jewelry is designed and made in Ocean City, Maryland.
Downtown Rehoboth Beach is great for walking and the shopkeepers are a friendly bunch. I met Susan, who works at Studio S, and after talking for a bit she told me that she was half Puerto Rican. She recognized my accent.
I was having breakfast with Jody and Debbie when we decided to stop at Studio S. You know how it is, checking things out in Rehoboth Beach before the crowds come in. I did not know that store was even there. They opened about a year ago. This location is at 70 Rehoboth Avenue, Unit 101. Tel. 302-227-5465. It is at First Street Station. The other location is at 301 Rehoboth Ave., Suite D. Tel. 302-227-5262. That location is at The Shops at the Pearl, where Cultured Pearl is located.
You can find Studio S on Facebook as Studio Jewelry Silver.
Wallets too cute to pass.
Melissa and Christopher Vaxmonsky are the owners of Studio S. Melissa designs all the jewelry that is made at their Ocean City, Maryland, shop and workshop, located at 9927 Stephen Decatur Hwy. F #10. Tel. 410-213-9752.
It was so nice of Melissa to talk to me for a bit. The store was sort of busy for a Monday morning. She told me that everything started with a sewing machine when she was in college. Both, she and her husband, finished their studies, worked, had a family and continued to create pieces of jewelry.
60% of their jewelry is made in-house. The other is brought from overseas. Melissa handpicks personally all of that jewelry, choosing specific designers and pieces with customers in mind.
Studio S also not only engraves jewelry pieces sold by them; they service the community with engraving available for pieces brought into the store by customers, as well as trophies.
I found that this particular store covered all age groups. It even had jewelry and watches for the guys.
Studio S also has artwork by local artists. Bags, scarves and purses that were colorful and fun for the summer.
The store is comfortable with subtle lighting.
The Delaware Beaches are very casual. It is that atmosphere that we love the most. From the beach to cocktails and then dinner. If you have your daughters and friends visiting, some of the fun necklaces and bracelets they are going to love.
Beach fun Necklaces
Beach Fun Bracelets
Studio S does not advertise. It is all about word of mouth. Just like what I am doing right here.
I don’t know if something has caught your eye….if it did, then, you know what to do….Have a great day!
