This is simply a delightful shop with beautiful, unique handmade gifts, many that are made locally. There is always so much to choose from! The store manager, Amy Howard, is always cheerful and welcoming. This is my absolute favorite shop on the Outer Banks, and every time I visit I come home with a new treasure (or several!). :) Highly recommended.

Love to start my Christmas shopping here each year! Great selection of books, jewelry, toys, and unique knick knacks you never knew you needed! Found a cute tea strainer and a book on sea glass identification this time, as well as an armful of books on my daughter’s list, a bracelet she had to have, a cute toy ferry with loadable cars for my nephew, and cute tea towels for my sister!
