I was able to stop by this lovely arts center while in Manteo this past August. I loved seeing all…read morethe local art and reading about the artists. I also got to try my very first Art-o-mat, which was so whimsical and fun and I loved the surprise of getting art in a vending machine. How cool and unique. The staff was kind and helpful. I am so glad to see how much Dare County is promoting it's local artists to those near and far. Be sure to stop by this amazing space to get your culture while out shopping in Downtown Manteo!

So, this place is kind of different - first, there are two of them in the same plaza (Scarborough…read moreFaire), and second, they are the most strangely run place I've ever been to. Everything in the store has an original price, and a sale price. When we went everything was 50% off, but off of the sale price! Also, every picture comes with a free frame. There are some exceptions to both rules (double check if something is hanging on the wall already), but we still walked out of here with a sweet deal.

You know, stained glass crabs, smartly exposed prints under sandy piers, driftwood centerpieces, and an irresistible print of a few sandpipers in a rough wooden frame. The store itself was clean and well lit--not too crowded, not too sparse. The proprietor, Dee Isenhour, was willing to talk and talk up her artists; it was clear that she liked them as people and admired their offerings. And she wasn't surprised, but she was surely delighted when we showed up two days later to buy the sandpipers.

They offer not only jewelry, but wall art, prints, pottery, small stained glass pieces and the best smelling goat's milk soaps. I had to get the amaretto scented bar for mom. They had some really nice hardwood wall wine racks too - so simple in design yet very elegant. I always love coming into this gallery when I have the opportunity to visit Duck not only to browse the many unique items they carry, but also for the friendly service and because those soaps make the shop smell so good!

The stain glass items (why we made a u-turn to go back to it) are very expensive, I have several pieces from Etsy and one *almost* identical piece was literally 3x the price-but it's a tourist shoppe, so not unexpected. They have antiques going towards the back which seem to go on forever, as well as newer fashion items in front. I bought a couple items to support local, but not the stain glass I came for, unfortunately. Would definitely go back!
