My wife and I found this hidden gem in Leland. They offer articles of clothing, prepackaged non-perishable foods like Mallowdoos handcrafted marshmallows, bread mixes, locally made signs and almost every item you'll need to finish out your beach house decor. They offer unique lamps, some unique side tables and items for your kitchen counter.
As you walk in you're greeted by staff members who are there to help. Along the isles you'll find shop after shop created by local artists from photographers and glass blowers to craftsman who create unique wares and even essential oils and lotions.
This shop is difficult to find but definitely worth the effort.

Sorry no photos. Outstanding experience. I was able to find something cool for my wife as a Christmas present. It is totally worth a look. Wide variety of gift ideas and you won't break the bank by going into Wilma and having people drive around like they got their license out of a cracker jack box. Will add photo on Xmas day. 😁

I've been there a few times and am very happy with it. I first went there to find a particular shop, bought my items. The next time (and after that, LOL) I replenished my items and found more shops that were interesting and came home with fun items. That is always a good thing. It is bright, clean and staff is helpful and friendly. It is also great to be able to support local businesses. Definitely give it a try.

Visiting Leland, NC from Minnesota and I found the most unique and lovely place to shop for unique gifts. This special shop is a treasure of beautiful specialty clothing, handcrafted and unique: jewelry, local foods, art, kitchenware, garden fun, soaps, lotions and potions, coastal decor, cosmetics, essential oils and crafts along with housewares and furniture. You’ll find something for all your friends and family and much more for yourself. Five star recommended visit.
