Tulip is one of my “go to” stores in Rehoboth Beach. Located at 29819 Coastal Highway (Rt. 1). Tel. 302-226-2696. Website? http://www.tulipltd.com. Tulip is completely decked out for the holidays. It does not stop there, though, because Tulip opens year-round. There are 2 floors and plenty of rooms to roam and find that perfect gift for the holidays.
I have plenty of friends that have become grandmothers in 2013. The First Christmas ornament is a must!
The New Year’s table at the beaches reflect our casual attitude with flair and understated elegance.
A fun New Year’s with the new ceramic Solo Cups!!
And once the Holidays are a thing of the past….redecorating, adding something here or there….
Art, lighting, and furniture…
Have a great day….Merry Christmas!! Love this soap necklace!!

Looking for the handcrafted trees, that can be used for holiday decorations or to keep necklaces in order….I went to Tiger Lili located at 36706 Bayside Outlets in Rehoboth Beach. I found them!! Very cute and some either can be staked into the ground….
Tiger Lili has another location on the ocean block in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, but this was my first visit to this very trendy shop, located at the Bayside Outlets. Rehoboth Beach has many outlets and the majority are stores that are nationally known. Therefore, it is great to see that “shop local and shop small” can be incorporated into outlet shopping. Tiger Lili also ships, so if you see something that catches your attention in the following photos…..call them at 302-226-0400 so they can get it to you for the holidays.
Tiger Lili is fully stocked…comfortable shopping experience. The dressing rooms are great.
This post is for women only…you already can see that. I walked around the store and plenty of items got my attention. Women love to shop; it is part of our DNA. I asked…what is a best seller during the Holiday Shopping Season? Without hesitation…the Nicole Scarves and the “fleece leggins” with a little control top!!! They have so many colors and they are definitely selling.
Even though Tiger Lili has plenty of accessories….the necktie necklace is also a big seller this year.
Other necklaces…
Coats…
Handbags…
Ringing the New Year carrying something special at Tiger Lili’s affordable price is….they also have it in gold.
Happy Shopping!! 12 days until the big day!!

An institution!!! If you have survived the ups and downs of the economy for 37 years anywhere, you know you are offering your customers something that keeps them coming back. That’s how I feel about Basic Concepts, located at 149 Rehoboth Avenue at the Village-by-The-Sea Shops in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Tel. 302-227-8688.
Our lifestyle at the Delaware Beaches is casual and relaxed. You can wear clothing during the day, add a little accessory or two and you are good to go to the restaurants, bars, and music venues. Rehoboth Beach is a destination for dining, and shopping, as well. In Downtown Rehoboth Beach, the shopkeepers are friendly and you can walk from one store to another with ease, especially, this time of the year.
Last year I bought an easy to wear jacket from Basic Concepts by a California company called Focus. Every time I wear it, people notice and pay me compliments. Wanting to continue on that trend, I decided to stop by and visit Patty Watson, the owner and operator of Basic Concepts. She had new colors and styles….she was also decorating for the Holidays. Basic Concepts opens every day.
Accessories…
I love Before + Again tees….they are made in the U.S. They wear so well; throw them in the wash, then the dryer and they look like brand new.
So, as you visit Rehoboth Beach….make sure you Stop & Shop Local…and Tax Free!!
Have a great week-end!!

I bumped into Deanna as I was taking pictures of a beautiful day in Lewes. The weather was a bit cooler and I am, definitely, ready for it…and what a difference a few days make.
I followed Deanna into her own store….Deanna’s, located at 111-113 Second Street, Lewes, DE 19958. Tel. 302-644-1112. Second Street in Historic Lewes is Main Street. Lots of shops and restaurants are found on this street and surrounding streets, as well.
It seems like it was just yesterday but Deanna has had her store for about 19 years. The store has merchandise catering to a wide range of ages. You will find Deanna and Ashley, her daughter, receiving customers, chatting with them, and making them feel at home as they shop in a store that has all those indispensables that we love here at the beaches. And if you are shopping with your significant other….there is a nice comfortable sofa to make him feel at home or if you want to rest a bit.
Casual clothing, jeans and sweaters.
Shoes…summer and winter.
Dresses….
Perfect for this time of the year…These long tees are flying out of the store.
For the little ones….look what I found!
So, remember that in spite of the rain…the stores are open, tax free shopping in Delaware and Columbus Week-End is Here!! And, are the Sales!

I asked Janice; how would you described your store? It’s a woman’s store, definitely. Someone once came in and said; “estrogen infused”. We laughed. Is it? Well, you might have to find for yourselves.
Bella Luna is at 127 Rehoboth Avenue right in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. Tel. 302-227-0267. Website? www.bellalunatic.com. E-mail address? bellalunatic@gmail.com. Janice Elder is the shop owner.
Home, Body, Soul. Those words are on their storefront awning. They truly tell the customer what you will find inside. As you come into the Bella Luna soft music is usually playing. One look at the store and you will see that it is full to capacity.
I like the word whimsical. It is a fun store. Women, girls; they all love it. Guys come in to buy for their significant others.
A tiny corner just for something for young ones.
For the home you will find, art, fun plaques, Christmas Decorations, tea towels, great napkins and unique cards.
For the body, plenty of beautiful scarves, including Pashminas; textures and colors for all tastes. Gloves, hats, lotions, potions and scents.
Lots of necklaces and earrings. These earrings were from Turkey, in vermeil.
As we were talking a guy came in. He was in a slight rush. A present for someone special. He picked it out immediately; I think she might have sent him there. Ideas on how to wrap it were given. Off he went.
The Wine Wraps caught my attention. Turning a bottle of wine into a creative holiday present. Made by a company called Santa Barbara Design Studio. Names like Reindeer Reserve, and Vixen’s Vino to name a few.
Bella Luna makes one feel good. That must be the soul part of it. Janice is always very friendly. And, by the way, the young lady that was also working there is a great addition to the shop; very helpful in her suggestions.
At this time of the year when we are looking for something special for that best friend, hostess gift, or your own personal indulgence….it was the perfect place!!!
Have a good one!!…I will talk to you later….
