Do you have your red, white, and blue attire for this evening’s Fireworks in Rehoboth Beach? Remember, The Funsters will be at the Bandstand before and after the Fireworks, entertaining the crowds.
Basic Concepts has been in Rehoboth Beach since 1973. It is one of the few stores in Downtown Rehoboth that have seen the ups and downs of the economy through the years and can say they have become iconic in town. Basic Concepts is located at 149 Rehoboth Avenue in the Village-By-The-Sea Shops. Tel. 302-227-8685 Website? http://www.basicconceptsrehoboth.com.
When visitors come to the beach, one of the attractions is the fact that we have a pretty relaxed lifestyle. Basic Concepts have stayed true to that idea and carries brands and accessories that show off that you can wear casual clothing and still look very good.
After a morning of stormy weather, it is brighter this afternoon. So…..ready to shop?
Before & Again – Love this brand of clothing. Light colors and materials. Long and short tees. Dresses, as well.
Brighter colors this summer, with orange being the new black!
M. Mac – Cover ups and casual dresses….add sandals, bangels and you are ready for a night on the Avenue.
Lu-Lu B – Cottons, textures, and designs.
Easy shopping a Basic Concepts begin with Patti…She is so friendly and knows her brands so well. I forgot to take her picture…next time.
In the meantime, stop by and say hello. She has great prices….tax free shopping!
Have a great week-end!!

Tulip…My post on the first day of Spring!! Tulip is a must stop shop, located at 29819 Coastal Highway (Rt. 1), in Rehoboth Beach. Tel. 302-226-2696. Website? http://www.tulipltd.com.
The colors stopped me on my tracks. Spring was here!! I did not have a post in mind, but could not help it. Tulip has the best for Spring….for kids, the home, and for ourselves.
This store is pretty big, but my concentration was on the first floor. I did not even go upstairs where gorgeous furniture, lighting, and home accessories are found.
Just look at some of the “gotta have it”…
This table had really fun stuff. The hats come in little pouches/bags.
Do you wear a shower cap? I think this one was so funny!! Empower your Shower…say that again?
For the little ones there were the his and hers robes that were truly adorable and perfect for the beach!!
From Baltimore, Maryland, Bosom Buddy Bags.
We have such a casual lifestyle, here, at the Delaware Beaches….plenty of our homes reflect that look.
New items from Mariposa.
Just recently I have met several people that are new in the area. I hope they are checking my posts because as you become a local, you, definitely want to shop local.
I don’t know about you, but lately all I hear is who is getting married next….signs of the times, I guess. Gifts for those special occasions.
The beach essentials? Lip gloss and flip flops…with a little bling. The snap on will take you from the beach to a night out on Downtown Rehoboth Beach!!
Have fun!! Talk to you later.

This indulgence is, definitely, worth it. Scents, at times they define who you are. Some just like soap and water. They say they don’t need anything else. Others, like me, love the idea of light and green scents. I wear perfume every single day.
I really don’t want the same scent as everyone else. This is where this perfume store comes in. Niche perfumes are not mass produced. You will not find them in department stores. That should get your interest. These designers have control.
Penny Lane Perfumes picks and chooses who is represented in their shop. It is located at 42 Rehoboth Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. Right in the Penny Lane Mall. The owner is Cindy Carey; the manager is Cassandra Parker. Tel.302- 226-2444. Website? http://www.pennylaneperfumes.com.
A visit to Penny Lane was on Thanksgiving week-end. It was the perfect time. Right before Black Friday on a beautiful day in Rehoboth Beach. When my sister in law and I arrived at the store, Cassandra was minding the shop. She is great. Cassandra will take care of you like you are the only person there. Trying perfumes, suggesting scents. She is very knowledgeable.
New to Penny Lane Perfumes is online shopping. Just go on the above mentioned website and experience how easy it is to shop. Need more information, please call them up. The experience of testing the perfumes is to me a relaxing one. On this visit I bought 2 perfumes. Let me tell you about them.
The first one I chose was Entre Naranjos by Spanish perfume designer, Ramon Monegal. Entre Naranjos means “Between Oranges”. I love the freshness of this perfume. It is made in Barcelona, Spain. I am wearing it as I type this post. All you need is just a bit. The scents stay all day. If you want to know more about Ramon Monegal; he has plenty of other perfumes, please check http://www.ramonmonegal.com.
The next perfume I chose was St. Clement’s “Oranges & Lemons Say The Bells of St. Clement’s”. The perfume designer? James Heeley. He is an Englishman, but works and lives in France. It is another of those citrus scents that are so light and refreshing. His perfumes are to be worn by men and women. You can visit http://www.jamesheeley.com for more information and the rest of his line of perfumes.
Penny Lane has cute gifts; scent bracelets. Just a few drops and wear it around your wrist.
The refillable, perfume spray bottles. The perfect stocking stuffer.
Stop by……

I was totally surprised to hear that people think Tulip is a garden center. For many years I lived in the town of Bethany Beach….that’s where Tulip is from. It was in town and always was a must stop shop in Bethany. A few years ago it moved to Rehoboth Beach. The store has a much bigger locale and plenty of parking.
Tulip is located at 29819 Highway One, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. 302-226-2696. It is family owned. Website? http://www.tulipltd.com
The store was always known for its lighting. Today, Tulip offers furniture, accessories, and gifts.
It also has a really cute corner for children, with sweaters hand knitted in Rehoboth Beach. Gifts for babies and fun things for toddlers.
The store is full of neat ideas for the holidays. I found and actually, bought, the Corkcicle. On my picture, if you look to the left of the lamp you can spot it. It freezes and then it cools your wine from the inside out.
The Dazzler is a battery operated candle. It has a LED bulb technology, it lasts about 5 hours, and runs on 2-AA batteries.
Holiday and New Year’s decorative place mats, napkins and surprises.
The glass crab ornament caught my attention.
Besides having a room dedicated to Vera Bradley, they also carry Bosom Buddy Bags.
Tulip also carries gifts for every occasion.
For the women that enjoy jewelry, a line from Florida, completely handcrafted with organic elements, nickel and lead free…also hypoallergenic.
You can find even some even on sale.
The second floor offers furniture, lighting, art and home accessories.
Now that you know that Tulip is not a garden center, by all means, stop by. They are very helpful if you are somewhat clueless on what you would like to purchase for that person that has it all.
Talk to you later. Have a good one!!
