    This store has everything. ;) I really loved browsing and even found a great outer banks NC hat in blue. If you're looking for house decorations or souvenirs, definitely come here. The lady minding the store was super nice and friendly.

    A great store chock full of quality merch. Clothing for the entire family, shoes, jewelry, and loads of home decor. Many brand names like Pandora, Spartina, Hey Dudes, etc etc.... a fun place to check out and meander through. Lower level often offers complimentary wine tastings from Sanctuary Vineyards- a local winery offering a wide range of samples- from dry whites and reds to sweet Muscadines.

    Great quality and only $8.95!

    The store is filled with cute boutique and gift items- however some things are a little over priced and the salespeople are very unfriendly.

Wow - the Christmas Mouse, located in the Scarborough Lane Shoppes, is a huge store full of Christmas ornaments and other holiday décor. There is something about a forest of heavily decorated fake trees that I find truly mesmerizing. They even had an entire tree dedicated to the unicorn theme and I really regret not getting a photo of it. The huge selection of ornaments is mostly organized by theme, with some exceptions like the Olde World Christmas ornaments which I recall being all together. A lot of the ornaments are from familiar brands and I wish they had more that was locally made in the Outer Banks. Overall, it was fun wondering around this large store but I didn't add anything to my collection on this visit. However, I will plan to visit the newly built Christmas Mouse location in Nags Head this summer. Nearly two years after their store sadly burned down they have reopened in a lovely looking building.

Tar Heel Trading Co. is full of lovely items made by artisans and craftsman from North Carolina and other parts of the United States. I spent a good bit of time in here admiring pottery, Christmas ornaments, soaps and such. My very favorite items were tiny little animals made out of pottery. I wish I could remember the artist as they are super adorable and their little pottery faces make me smile. I already have a few that I bought at a local pottery shop near my home so I didn't add any pottery pets to my collection but I sure did love looking at them! The employee working at Tar Heel Trading Co. was very welcoming and engaging but not in an overbearing way. Overall, shopping here was a very lovely experience and this is a great place to buy some high quality, genuinely made in NC items.

I found myself thinking about a new glass for myself, but decided against that. Still I enjoyed learn about the fish chiseled glass. The makers have all of their fish swimming in one direction except one. This has become the trademark of their chiseled glass art. The owner was down to earth very helpful. Hope to visit her store again one day.
