December 23rd, 2011
Out and about in the historic town of Lewes with my friend Jody. Just a few hours to catch up before Christmas and New Year’s keep everyone wrapping, cooking and entertaining.
Living in a small coastal town is, to me, perfect at this time of the year. I don’t have to be looking for my car lost in a big parking lot in a mall. Local shops have everything my family and friends would want.
Lewes is beautiful any time of the year. Christmas has an appeal on this historic town. It is the first town of the first state. It has great restaurants, friendly residents, and wonderful shops.
For example, take the house where the Lewes Historical Society Museum Shop is located. Right on the corner of Second and Mulberry Streets. Ryves Holt was probably born in 1696 and died in 1763. He lived in that house. He was the Chief Justice of Three Lower Counties on Delaware from 1745 until 1763. He was a Member of the Assembly and Speaker of the Assembly, as well.
The building is so beautiful in its simplicity. Definitely, a post for the future.
The Lewes Historical Society has tours year round. For more information, please visit www.historiclewes.org.
Continuing our strolling we ended up at The Cottage, which is located at 142 Second St., Tel. 302-644-1544. Its owner is Sally Lawton. The store has wonderful gifts. It was described as “a vintage gift boutique”. Another description would be “where past and present meet”.
I picked up a few last minute gifts. I loved the wine stopper. Bought it for nobody in particular. Thought it would be fun to attach it to a nice bottle of wine. The candle smelled so good, I got it for a friend. Then, a customer was raving about the Fleurs Du Jour Rice Body Powder. She said she buys it for herself and friends. It smelled delicious; talc free, soothing and moisturizing. Of course, I got it. I think I will put it under the tree. It said that it would revitalize my skin and lift my spirits, as well.
The Cottage will be closing at the end of the day today, Friday the 23rd. They will be reopening in February. At that time the store would have expanded to the next space, and a post will be more in depth then. Please note: Sales are on-going today.
If you have little ones that might want to say hello to Santa. Well, today is also the last day to do so in Lewes. Right on Second Street, Santa’s House can be found. He will be there from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m.
Walking through Main Street Jody and I met Lizzy, who was walking and shopping with her Springer Spaniel. Lizzy has a business and I am passing you the info. She is a licensed and insured property manager. Her business is Leave it All to Lizzy. She is a one person “does it all”. Home and office organization, event planning, house cleaning, rental preparation, linen service, grocery shopping, personal shopping vacation home opening/closing, holiday decorating, reservations and 48 hour move-ins. For more info. please e-mail leaveitalltolizzy@gmail.com or call 302-841-0917.
Chatting away…then we noticed the mini BMW with the tiniest of Christmas tree on top….so cute I had to take the picture.
We did have a late lunch….the post in a few hours…..
Merry Christmas!!
