JUNE OUGHT TO BE DEEMED HOME DÉCOR MONTH AT THE BEACH
Finding your perfect home is a wonderful feeling. Finding beautiful furnishings, art and outside plantings and fixtures can turn it into a forever source of joy. We experience this often with folks who select homes in the new and well-established communities we know so well. Many are moving here for retirement, which can be a great opportunity for “right-sizing.” In other words donating or selling the home furnishings and décor you’ve outgrown and bringing a fresh look to your new home and garden.
This weekend features the Summer Living Expo at Cape Henlopen High School on Saturday, June 14th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday, June 15th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvXMGx-vRHg.
This is a great opportunity to take a broad look at more than 100 companies and organizations that offer everything you need for beautiful homes and gardens and optimum leisure time. There’s a distinct focus on warm-weather living, with lots of indoor and outdoor décor and furnishings – but it’s also a great opportunity to discover the health, financial and insurance services available to Delaware residents. Beebe Healthcare and the Cape Gazette make it all possible, and proceeds from exhibitor fees will support the Children’s Beach House https://www.cbhinc.org/ in Lewes.
Next up is the annual Lewes Garden Tour, https://leweschamber.com/33rd-annual-lewes-garden-tour-on-june-15-2024/ taking place this year on June 21st.
