Shame on the Delaware GOP for inviting them—transphobia has no place in the First State.

So fun today when visitor from Wisconsin stopped by as her family wanted to see #Delaware as her name’s Della. Was able to personalize a First Flag #collage with her name “Della-ware”. This flag was from Bicentennial project & is 50 years old. Flags are painted on site where we became #FirstState!

Everyone needs some cowbell somedays as the old Saturday night live skit reminds us! My #cowbell is #Kentucky-type cowbell & according to Cumberland General Store “The pitch is slightly higher & definitely more mellow.” So feel free to get your cowbell ringing needs met whenever you visit as we have 4 1/2” ringer. The catalog is dated 1977 as #historymatters here! Learn more! Not sure if the store is still open but we love all things history as we are located on the site where Delaware became the #FirstState. Our founders are rolling over in their collective graves we’re certain so do your part to try and let them know we’re all on the case ringing whatever bells we can in the name of freedom. #thegoldenfleecetavern

We’ve such a cute state capital building in #Dover #Delaware For some reason it’s officially known as Legislative Hall. The old state capital building is know as Old State House. We’re also known as #FirstState. No one really cares & most think we’re part of New England. :-) I paint this view often

I always have flags flying at the shops. We are located on site if #GoldenFleeceTavern where Delaware was first to ratify the US Constitution making it the first state. We’re on The Green in Dover and history abounds. We have a stamp, too, that we can stamp your passport books or any kind of collector type books or cards you have. We know everything about the area that tourists may need to know. My main gallery door to #parkegreengalleries is my favorite. Love flags! The #DelawareShoppes & gallery are open seven days week.

Dover is full of history & I love my downtown. If you visit capital of #firstState after watching #kenburns on #PBS stop by #GoldenFleeceTavern where I have gallery. Caesar Rodney is our most famous guy. These are sketches in #historicdistrict #Delaware #artistatwork These are some
range of houses
Partial sketch of historicdistrict #Dover #Delaware #victorian sketch #artistatwork Cursive writing must be taught to our kids. The value of cursive when it comes to early brain development is mind-boggling. We carry a terrific book in teaching cursive that and I’m hoping to publish an old journal with sayings and poetry that they practiced all the calligraphic styles with.

Considered a holiday where I come from. On this day in 1787, Delaware was ratified as the First State in the new union.
Happy Delaware Day, y'all!

Gallery & shop is so photogenic! We always have flowers & various flags add cool look to our historic location in downtown #DoverDelaware. So glad Central Delaware #ChamberofCommerce includes #DelawareShoppes & galleries on the annual cover. Our location’s perfect for photos if you visit #FirstState
