My favorite shop on Hatteras Island! They definitely got…read moremost of my "souvenir " money in the way of yarn and jewelry. Also bought some crochet hooks and an embroidery kit as a gift. Loved their yarn bowls, pottery, and jewelry selection. My friend also bought a $50 bag of self-selected discount yarn. We came for the yarn- they have two full rooms dedicated to it, with some nice name brands and quality fibers, some hand dyed locally, others from as far away as Australia. Broad variety of weights, fibers, and colors, almost had everything I was looking for. One thing I might suggest adding to the inventory is some beach-themed drop spindles and some roving (spinning fiber), grown and dyed in NC. We visited twice in the one week of our stay. The guy at the register is somewhat brusque but he's a hoot. The woman in charge of the yarn room was very sweet and helpful. There are two big well behaved shop dogs, but I recommend leaving your own pets at home, they are probably not allowed. All in all, we had a great time shopping and will be back next year- maybe with some of our projects made from the yarns we bought.

Of course I bought yarn to add to my stash, but I also got a pair of drift wood knitting needles I can't wait to use! This place had local art pieces, gift items, and some really pretty yarn! I really enjoyed my visit here and look forward to returning next time I visit Hatteras.

Sure, they offer paintings and other artwork by their family of artisans, but they also offer rock art, driftwood art and their latest creation, oyster shell art. Sarah Allender is the jewelry designer on site. She also has her own signature etched glass that is fun and whimsical. They sell thousands of beads, too, so this is a great place to make your own custom jewelry. They also do hair wraps, ear piercing and henna tattoos.

There was one room which was more of an exhibit and resembled a home. The museum generally focused on Native American history at large but was not super helpful in informing you about the Croatan or Roanoke groups which were local to the region prior to European colonization. I understand the historical record is rather sparse but it would have been nice to have more connection to the location we were in. Nevertheless, I learned quite a bit about the role of the code talkers during WWII, saw models of original canoes, and more which were all rather interesting!

For starters, the building is eye catching. It is a replica of a 1874 life saving station and it has an enchanting look to it. I think it is neat that the window screens are beautifully painted - how unique and whimsical. I also fully appreciate how nicely displayed all of the art is. I can tell the gallery owners put a lot of time in thought into how to display the pieces so that they honor the work of the artists. As far as art goes, there is a lot of it here in all sorts of mediums - pottery, jewelry, mixed media, oil on canvas, woodworking, prints, etc. The selection is huge and there are pieces in all price ranges. Despite a huge selection, the gallery owners know their inventory. They are easily able to show art to customers by either artist or subject. The ladies working were both very friendly and knowledgeable. Pea Island Art Gallery is worth a visit, even if it means a long drive!

This place is full of all kinds of beautiful arts, crafts, paintings, and jewelry by artists local to the North Carolina area. There are so many things here to choose from: wonderful paintings, photographs, jewelry, gardening tools, kitchen utensils and supplies, hardware items, tiles, mouse pads, pens, painted stone steps, door knobs, light fixtures, magnets, glasses and mugs and more! You are bound to find something here to take home with you. Also - a part of the proceeds goes to support the Pea Island National Wildife Refuge - - cool beans! You can tell they take great pride in their showing, everything is of high quality and great artistic presence. The owner is so helpful and extremely nice and courteous. We bought a few items that were very sensitive (to breakage) and she willingly bubble wrapped them securely in a box so that it would be protected during our air flight back home. I highly recommend stopping to visit this oasis, it was a rainy day w/ overcast on this visit but the art and decor was so uplifting - it really brightened our day!
