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.

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!!

An iconic shop; that’s what I call The Wooden Indian. Since 1977 in our community, this shop is a representation of what shopping in Downtown Rehoboth Beach has become. First class, sophisticated, charming, exquisitively appointed, accessible to all.
I remember when my children were young, they would look at me like I was from another world, as I would come into The Wooden Indian and the first thing I would say was: Touch only with your eyes. You know that look, don’t you? It worked because they never broke anything, thank God.
 
 
The Wooden Indian is located at 25 Baltimore Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. Tels. 302-227-8331, 800-225-8331. The website is www.woodenindianltd.com. On Facebook, it can be found as Woodenindian Rehoboth. That might be your best best as you will be able to follow updates and what’s coming new into the store.
This is the second season for Paul and Joseph, the proprietors. Under their creative strengths, The Wooden Indian has acquired a modern simplicity that I noticed as I came in. You can move through the store with ease; every item is beautifully displayed.
One person that is key in this shop is Frances. I think she has seen the beginnings, the ups and downs of the store and the resurgence of what The Wooden Indian represents at the Delaware Beaches.
Rehoboth Beach is a very walkable town and The Wooden Indian is one street north of Rehoboth Avenue.
The Wooden Indian is still there as you come into the store; to the left.
 
Well known brands are Lynn Chase, Waterford, Herend, Godiva, Royal Copenhagen, Beatriz Ball, Vietri, Nambe, and Vera Wang, among others.
 
The shop will wrap and ship. Baskets can be made for presents. A variety of preserves, peanuts, sauces, and dressings.
A new line of jewelry by designer Esther-Ann Ingram, an independent shell artist arranging shells into beautiful works of art. One of a kind pieces; the shells come from all over the world.
The Bridal Registry is an integral part of the traditional wedding preparation. The Wooden Indian has china, crystal, silverware, and plenty of gifts in a wide variety of prices.
It is a special time of the year. Plenty of weddings during the summer months. The beaches are an attraction for that special day.
   
And, for the new addition to the family, they also have presents, as well.
The Wooden Indian is part of Rehoboth Beach….talk to you later.

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….
