November 2nd, 2012
I joined my fellow Crawlers, Jody and Jade, as we helped raise funds for the local charities of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. The Rehoboth Beach Cocoa Crawler was celebrating its second year and for the looks of it….I think people were loving and enjoying every minute of it.
There was a definite chill in Rehoboth Beach. We needed to get our wristbands. They were only $10. The proceeds going to the charities.
The welcoming committee was Maggio Shields Real Estate. They were in charge of selling the bands. They were a happy bunch.
From the Maggio Cafe, at First Street Station, and next to Maggio Shields Real Estate, we were offered tomato bisque. It was warm and delicious.
Grotto Pizza was also part of the welcoming committee…an institution in Rehoboth Beach.
The sun was beginning to set quickly…it is that time of the year. So pretty and crisp. Rehoboth Beach was crowded and hardly any parking available.
Jody, Jade and I decided to stop for dinner at Lily Thai on North 1st St.
They had the Pad Thai, which was very good
I had the Crispy Eggplant in a Chili Sauce with Shrimp…delicious. I do love this dish.
Now that our energies were recharged, we continued to crawl. Our next stop was going to be a shop on Baltimore Avenue that has been there for about 30 years. Crysti. There is a post in the making, but, in the meantime, meet Joyce and Crysti.
The best local restaurants were inside participating stores. At Crysti, Dog Fish Head was serving…beer, of course. But, check the dessert they had available; the bacon chocolate cheesecake. It is available at the restaurant in Downtown Rehoboth Beach.
Outside people were chatting and having a great time. Drinks on hand everyone was crawling through the streets.
By this time, another fellow crawler, joined our group. He is right there on the picture with Jade. His name? Michael from Stephan & Co. Salon & Spa. Jade also works at the salon. I have to write a post on them soon.
Our next stop was Browseabout Books, where we found Cake Break. They were serving mini cupcakes. Perfect because they just popped in your mouth. Not too much guilt, either. Cake Break can now ship gluten free cupcakes and other gluten free baked goods.
Crawling away, we continued….and we found only one dog doing his crawling while wearing his sweater.
We continue on a crawling mode and stopped to see a sign that rain, shine or hurricane…it is always there, reminding us that salt water taffy is still so good.
At Carltons on Rehoboth Avenue we found Lupo di Mare.
They were serving “pot de creme”.
Crawling back to First Street Station, we noticed that there were still people shopping at the Penny Lane Mall.
At First Street Station, Paul Cullen was entertaining the crowds and serving his wines. A future post in the making.
And, then, the crawlers gathered. There was going to be a drawing. You had to be there to win. Well, we did not win, but Danielle did. That was the end of a perfect evening, spending it with friends. Priceless, don’t you think?
So, it was time to go home….a total success it was….

The idea is to stroll Rehoboth Beach, find great deals, enjoy great food, and check the local art. Proceeds from the wristbands you purchase for $10 will go to local charities. The Rehoboth Elementary Art Docent Program and Nikki May Cancer Fund will be the recipients.
This is the 2nd Annual Rehoboth Cocoa Crawl, with so many participating stores and restaurants. Even though it is only in its 2nd year, it is becoming an event not to be missed. Downtown Rehoboth Beach is such a walkable town; the merchants are so friendly. Should be fun!!
So the place to be on Friday, 11/2, from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. is Downtown Rehoboth Beach. Enjoy delectable drinks with and without spirits!! Activities for the young ones!! You can purchase the wristbands at tents in First Street Station and in front of Heidi Lowe Gallery. They can also be purchased at WSFS branches, Azura Clothing, South Moon Under, Carltons & Bellmoor prior to the event. The purchase of a wristband enters you to win over $2,000 grand prize drawing at the end of the evening. You must be present to win.
If you have any questions, please call 302-226-9650. You can also visit http://www.azuraclothing.net.
The connection of Azura Clothing to Rehoboth Cocoa Crawl is simple. Its owner, Alyssa Titus, is also the founder and force behind Rehoboth Cocoa Crawl. I stopped today at Azura to take a few pictures. Afterall, it should be featured on this post. Putting together these kinds of events takes a lot of dedication. Alyssa has a family and juggles the dynamics of a family and a business, or two for that matter. She also owns, Clad, which is located at the First Street Station, in Downtown Rehoboth Beach.
Azura Clothing is located at 139 Rehoboth Ave., Tel. 302-226-9650. Website? http://www.azuraclothing.net.
Chatting with Alyssa, I found out that she is also a designer. She has her own label. And, she has been in the business for a long time.
This has not been my first visit to Azura. But, it has been the first visit in which I have to pay more attention to detail. First impression? I liked it. The store is bright and full of merchandise. If you are attending the Rehoboth Cocoa Crawl you are going to be pleasantly surprised.
I can see why Alyssa likes the quote; “A woman creates her style and fashion”. Alyssa told me that she looks for very unique pieces. The ones that can set you apart from the rest. She blends styles very well; trendy, casual, and classic.
To check the individual brands carried at Azura, please visit http://www.azuraclothing.net/our-brands.html.
This is what I found today:
Dresses
Jackets
Casual Tops
Jeans
Shoes
Bags
Home Accessories & Gifts
Jewelry
Azura Clothing also carries jewelry by designer Charles Albert. He designs very unique pieces of jewelry. Pretty much one-of-a-kind creations. Alchemia “zero karat gold” infuses a blend of base metals to simulate the look and feel of 18k gold, but very affordable. This new allow is nickel-free, lead-free, and hypoallergenic.
Please note that Azura Clothing also has its own line of lotions, body and hair care. All made by Azura here in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
Shopping in the boutiques of our coastal towns, here at the Delaware Beaches, where you get personal attention is pretty nice….talk to you later.
