Today was the day the Historic Lewes Farmers’ Market Opened for the 2011 Season. Had to buy some mini bella mushrooms, some Swiss Chard, some asparagus and some fresh lettuce. Also enjoyed a Goat Cheese and Spinach Croissant – Oh My!

One of my favorite shows is the Delaware By Hand Fine Arts & Crafts Show at the Zwaanendael Museum in Lewes, Delaware. In a busy Memorial Day Weekend, this is one event you don’t want to miss. From 10 am to 4 pm, you’ll find exquisite original artwork from paintings, photographs, jewelry, ceramics and glass to metal, wood and more. Established only 7 years ago, Delaware By Hand is a statewide network of very talented artists and artisans.

Lewes is ranked the best place to live in Delaware!

Out of 35 municipalities, Delaware Today magazine has named Lewes the best place to live in the state, a title that locals have always felt deep down. “I’m not necessarily surprised by the recognition because I think it’s well-deserved,” said Mayor Jim Ford.
The publication compiled the list after evaluating and ranking eight qualities within each municipality: school district, median home price, property taxes, safety, commuting time, arts and culture, shopping and dining and nightlife. Read More!
