A staffer with a silver bob followed me through the store but never said anything to me - not "let me know if I can help you" or "we're having a 20% sale!" (I knew about the sale because she told every single person who came in while I was there - except for me.) She didn't offer me a fitting room and when I was done, she immediately went in and grabbed the two items I had tried on but never asked "how did those fit?" (I hung both items back up neatly so it's not that i made a mess.) I didn't buy anything. In contrast, I got a lovely greeting at Donna Designs (and bought earrings), and struck up conversations with the staff at Outer Barks (bought a harness for my dog, and a T-shirt), as well as at Amity and Allie June (did not buy anything, but took their business card). I think I looked as well-dressed as the other customers at Barr-ee so maybe the staffer disliked my hat? My linen slacks? Too bad. I might've bought something but will not plan to be back. Have never before felt this level of suspicion in 20 years of coming to OBX. Left a bad taste in my mouth.

Great shops (3 of them) with unique fashions, accessories, and gifts at amazing prices!!read more

Bottom Line: A nice little shopping center in Duck offering a variety of stores and eateries…read more All of the shopping centers in Duck run together in my head - The Waterfront Shops, Scarborough Faire, Scarborough Lane Shoppes and various others. Scarborough Lane Shoppes is on the east side of Hwy 12 and features undercover parking, meandering boardwalks and a variety of shops and eateries for the whole family. In this shopping center I enjoyed the Flip Flop Shops, The Christmas Mouse, Tar Heel Trading and Toyriffic. I was running out of steam a bit but I would have also liked to check out the Spice and Tea Exchange and Ella's Olive. Also, the scent wafting out of the Fudgery was tempting but I resisted! The shopping center is nicely maintained and there is undercover parking which is great for those bright and sunny days. Also, this shopping center is conveniently within walking distance of several others. Overall, this was a very nice stop.

In our open-air market located in Duck, North Carolina, you'll find yourself in the perfect place to enjoy a summertime ice cream cone, get lost in the pages of a bestseller, or browse our unique shops for hidden treasure. Here at Scarborough Faire, amidst the natural setting, the artisans, and the families shopping, the atmosphere experienced is decidedly more like that of a park than a shopping center. But make no mistake - Scarborough Faire is more than just a browser's delight, it's a true shopper's paradise. From tasteful home décor to tailored Tommy Bahama shirts or women's plus-sized fashions, fantastic finds abound. From everyday kitchen and bath supplies to fine crystal, sculpture and artwork of every description, toys for girls and boys of all ages - treasures by any measure await your discovery. You'll find scrumptious old-fashioned candy treats, fudge, ice cream, snacks, and delicious Eastern Carolina barbeque, not to mention knock-your-socks-off, award-winning yet unpretentious wining and dining tucked into our garden enclave.

Like I said in my prior (poor grammar) review there is no distinction between sections and everything still looks like it is thrown in here. Another disturbing thing about this place is that the merchandise doesn't end downstairs. If you have the strength to climb the stairs and can stand a little more heat you can venture upstairs to examine more merchandise that is literally crammed into every corner of this place. The upstairs is technically two sections. One side is like is kids section and the other is like a women's clothing section. Really not worth the trip up there if you are neither.
