When you expect little and get much that is a pretty cool experience. I needed a new pair of hiking…read moreboots in the worse way when in the OBX. However, the timing of shopping the day after Thanksgiving was not so appealing since I do not like crowds. The fact that I needed new boots for weekend hiking outweighed my fear of crowds and closed in space. So I set off for the Tangiers outlet mall in Nags Head mid morning not knowing for sure what I would find. What I found was impossible parking, the lot was packed. But I am a sneaky in these situations and stalked my victims coming out of the stores like a lion cat watching it's prey. It only took about 10 minutes and I located someone approaching a car and waited, then pounced. It just so happen I found a parking spot right in front of the store and proceeded to the sidewalk. The lot was clean, the walk was clean and it was a cool crisp day to buy some new boots, hopefully. Just as I suspected the store was mobbed with customers. Enough room to maneuver around and located what I was looking for. It took just minutes for a clerck to actually acknowledge me and ask if she could help. Okay...impressed immediately. I told her what I was looking for and she directed me to a few styles, gave me the info on the incredible 50% off. I am a picky customer, so it did take me a while to figure out design and sizing. But the clerk stuck with me and provided several styles and different sizes all the while it was nuts in the store. After around 35 minutes I was satisfied and told clerk we had a winner. I am sure she was relieved and excited to get a pair of $129 boots for $65. Check out by another clerk was smooth and I was on my way in minutes. I would have never expected this experience on such a busy day and was both surprised and impressed with the staff. This is my very first pair of Merrell's and thus far they have been great.

Last June, on our anniversary, my hubby and I slipped down to the beach and stopped in, it's been over 50 years now. We bought six items of clothing, and I'm super pleased with all of them. The sweats for me (lovely willow color with a zippered crop top) look great on me, they're soft and wash well. I've worn the black cropped knit sweater many times, it really dresses me up. The hubster got three sweat shirts, and they all fit REALLY well. Not too snug, not too baggy. They look good, feel good, and wash well.

This old cottage has been a myriad of businesses over the years and is now a thrift shop selling clothing, housewares, toys, books and other odds and ends.

The store seemed like it was typically well organized but at the end of a busy day it was a bit messier than I expected. Ultimately I left with a vintage jigsaw puzzle and a book. The quality of the items seemed ok but I'm sure like all thrift shops, it's hit or miss and the treasure hunt is part of the excitement. The employees were friendly and the prices were fair.
