At some point or another we have all had someone we know; a friend, a member of your family, someone in the community, affected by cancer. I certainly have had several friends; in the past year or so. They are all doing very well, thank God.
Cancer Support Community Delaware was formerly The Wellness Community Delaware. It is part of a national nonprofit organization that provides support, education an hope to people with cancer and their loved ones. Through participation in professionally-led support groups, educational workshops and mind/body classes, people affected by cancer learn vital skills that enable them to regain control, reduce isolation, and restore hope, regardless of the stage of the disease. All programs are Free of Charge!! Complete information is available on http://www.cancersupportdelaware.org.

From time to time a friend drags me just like I might drag her….off we go; out and about. Jody and I took to the streets in Rehoboth Beach to have lunch at Dogfish Head. That post comes later. From there we stopped at a jewelry store that appeared on AboutMyBeaches in 2009. I liked it then, and that has not changed a bit.
Heidi Lowe, The Jewelry Studio is located at 328 Rehoboth Ave. Tel. 302-227-9203. Website? www.heidilowejewelry.com.
Heidi was an emerging artist in high school. After so many years she has come to be a full blown artist, whose designs are contemporary, whimsical, and at times, a little bold.
   
Different exhibits can be found at her Gallery year-round. At present she has an exhibit, Multiples, from various artists from all over the country showing unconventional pieces that are unique and never boring.
Besides being an artist and designer, Heidi also teaches. In the past she has taught at The Rehoboth Art League. At Towson University, in Maryland, you will find her one day a week teaching metalsmithing. A metalsmith, also called a smith, uses metal as a material for making objects.
She also teaches at her Studio. Classes can be held privately or semi-privately. Some of her students have been working hard for years. They are making very unique designs.
 
Heidi welcomes commissions, as well; engagement rings, wedding rings, wedding party gifts. A custom piece you might have in mind.
