Oh, I have a feeling that I am going to get into trouble for calling Basic Concepts “An Institution”.  You see, I know Patti Watson, the proprietor of this shop that is going into its 35th season in Rehoboth Beach.  Now, you tell, me if this is not an institution.  This store has weathered the ups and downs of our economy through the years, and in my book Basic Concepts should be congratulated just for that effort.

Basic Concepts is located at the Village-By-The-Sea Shops at 149 Rehoboth Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971.  Tel. 302-227-8688.

I stopped by and was chatting with Patti and right at that moment I thought about writing a post for my blog.

Basic concepts carries two main lines of clothing.  Fresh Produce and Focus from California. 

Fresh Produce has been around for a long time.  Lots of new bright colors for the season.  Cute tee-shirts, little skirts, blouses and dresses.  They are perfect for the way we live here at the beach.

Throw earrings, a necklace, a bracelet and you have an outfit.

Basic Concepts has hats; a must at the beach,  as well.

The brand Focus has also cute jackets, shirts, sweaters and dresses.  Even during the summer evenings there are cool nights.  She had some great colors.

Last year I mentioned how nice it is to walk around Rehoboth Beach and see the familiar faces of those shopkeepers that make this town.  They are friendly, caring, and I really enjoy them.

Have a good one…..talk to you later.

When our visitors come to the Delaware beaches, of course, the ocean and those laid back days are what all of them look forward to experience.  I think the women can sit on the beach up to a certain point.  Shopping could be not too far from their minds.

Not counting the outlets, our beach towns have so many little boutiques.  And, yes, some are better than others.  Knowing the shopkeepers on a personal level is one of the many treats of living in a small town.

The historic town of Lewes is one example.  Second Street is the Main Street, with streets and alleys to the side full of little shops and restaurants.

Lewes looks great; I have mentioned it before.  Its residents make sure the town is pristine.

So, I stopped to see Maryanne.  She is the owner of the Beach Jetty on Second Street, tel. 302-645-4606.  This year she opened Beach Jetty on Market Street, behind King’s Ice Cream. Tel. 302-644-4608.  These 2 stores are just 2 blocks from each other.

There is a slight difference in the merchandise on the new store on Market Street but not a lot and I think Maryanne is still working on how the 2 stores are going to differentiate from each other.

Our coastal living is very casual and that is represented in the clothing lines she carries.   At this time of the year the merchandise is still summer with just a hint of the fall weather that will soon be arriving.

Maryanne also carries a line of note cards in the Market Street store.  These are photographs and she will soon be carrying the prints.

Sales are on-going at this time of the year, not only at the 2 Beach Jettys, but everywhere.  Great time to go shopping!!

Talk to you later…..
