Island Trader

This store sells tasteful home décor and art that goes beyond the typical beach-themed tourist offerings.  Merchandise in stock is eclectic and high quality, from folk art to garden items to purses.  This is a great place to get a gift for someone who would appreciate something a little different, like beautiful colored glass balls in various sizes that are wonderful eye-catching conversation pieces. Or how about a ballet-dancing frog?

The shop is filled with an assortment of candles, grass baskets, pillows in a range of prints, colors and sizes, hanging and shelf vases, bird feeders, colored bottles and fragrant soaps. There is also a good selection of hand-crafted North Carolina pottery and unusual jewelry, both beaded and sterling silver.  You want more? There are rug mats, shell and driftwood garlands, lots of wooden signs and picture frames, and stylish hats and cloth bags. Opened at the Duck location since 1995, this shop has a friendly staff and is delightful to browse and find a surprise.
