Really nice shop and owner! Went in to browse…came out with purchases! Love the bracelet. Got a beautiful wind chime as a gift.

Great place! Super nice lady who ran the entire place. Very clean and well organized with a relaxed vibe. The mineral dig was affordable for a good sized bag and very kid friendly. Will definitely stop in again when we stay in Hatteras.
