An article in Jan. 2014 East Ocean View Civic League Newsletter http://www.livingeov.com/tells the Community about the wonderful time had by all that attended the Christmas Festival. It was held in the East Ocean View Community Garden this past December and was a huge success .

Deborah and Chris Lutz,  Owners of U&I Home Decorating and Staging, played Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus in the Christmas Festival. They were extremely touched by the requests of the children and all who volunteered to make it a success.

A young brother and Sister just wanted to be reunited with their family, and another little girl just wanted to be loved. It makes you stop and think how valuable a simple smile and a kind word truly is today……Reach out and touch your Community!  Giving Back is the easiest way to help.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ferry ride

Cape May

If you have the chance, check out this little town and linger long enough to do a wine tasting at the Cape May Winery and Vineyards. They are pet friendly so our wonderful companions Beau and Lucy enjoyed the ferry ride and a walk through the vineyards with us. We love that!!!! Pet friendly environments will always get our business.

If you are coming from the Eastern Shore we recommend the ferry ride Lewes/Cape May, http://www.capemaylewesferry.com/

It was a beautiful sunny day and the breeze from the ferry ride was spectacular.

We made a stop by the Cape May Winery and Vineyards and enjoyed a wonderful tasting of their wines. Our favorites were the cool crisp Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

http://capemaywinery.com/  I must say we didn’t have enough time and will re-visit.

Added a few snapshots for you to enjoy with us.

Staging Consult

Staging Consult yesterday with a wonderful family. They have such beautiful antiques that are going to be sold in an Estate Sale soon to follow. The most important thing is to get the house painted, curb appeal, organized, and staged for the open house….lots of work to do and it’s a great idea to get other professionals involved when you have so much to do. Paying someone to do the painting is a huge worry off of your list and they can get in and get out…while you work storing items that won’t be sold, and organizing the ones that will in another area than the staging area. Taking a home from 1980 to 2012 requires work, so roll up your sleeves and let’s get busy. First chore call painter!
