Today was the groundbreaking day for the renovatio

Today was the groundbreaking day for the renovation and restoration of the Ocracoke Lighthouse keeper's quarters. After a short ceremony we were able to go into the keeper's quarters. It was my first time in! I have waited over 30 years to get inside this dwelling. It needs work but it is a great house and I am thrilled that the NPS will be taking care of it. Work should start mid January so expect changes when you come for your next visit .

On the slow days we have to have some fun. A frien

On the slow days we have to have some fun. A friend gave me a bucket of flowers, Yasmine gathered them and made a beautiful arrangement for the shop. The flowers are so pretty and bring a lot of joy. I was able to give several friends a small arrangement for their homes.

When your sweetest 5 year old customer tells you that she likes your shop but that it isn't spooky enough for Halloween....she then brings you spooky decorations! Thank you, Lily. They are perfect!
I love children's art! Please notice this is not just a ghost, it is a child dressed up like a ghost. 😊

A beautiful day to watch shrimpers on the Pamlico

A beautiful day to watch shrimpers on the Pamlico sound. Hopefully, one of the boats I saw will take a load to the Ocracoke Seafood Company and from there to my freezer and table. Fried shrimp, steamed shrimp, boiled shrimp, Shrimp De Jonghe, shrimp and grits, Shrimp Etouffee, the list goes on and on.
