Going down there always reminds me of the slower
paced life and the wonderful happy people who live down there. My favorite
spots that I ALWAYS have to visit are Front Porch Café, Outer Bean Juice and
Java and Déjà New. Front Porch Café has some amazing coffee and I’m always a
proud supporter of local coffee shops. Outer Bean Juice and Java and Déjà New
combine my two loves in just a few steps of one another…Outer Bean has great
coffee and amazing healthy food options while Déjà New has awesome reclaimed artistic
furniture. Outer Bean is possibly my favorite spot to have breakfast. We
visited multiple times on our recent trip, but my favorite morning was when
Willie and I strolled Hartley up and were able to get some coffee and enjoy the
morning breeze outside, then we went inside and ordered some breakfast. Willie
got a yummy smoked salmon bagel while I got their Healing smoothie. The Healing
smoothie is made with avocado, celery, ginger, banana, parsley, spinach, kale,
romaine, almond, walnuts flaxseed, hemp protein, chia seed with almond milk. It
is possibly the best and most healthy way to start off your day. Hartley loved
it too! I couldn’t even get a sip in because she wanted more and more. We also
always get a special treat…I mean we are on vacation…and split their delicious
homemade spiced apple cake….yummm! Go visit these amazing local OBX
businesses…you won’t be disappointed.
These colorful glass pieces are just amazing!
This tiny blue vase (circa 1940s) was made by the Fenton Art Glass Company who is the largest manufacturer of handmade colored glass in the United States. For some more history go to: http://www.fentonartglass.com/history/
Amazing electric coffee pot set made around the 1920s.
This Nippon hand painted gold plate made in the late 1800s was breathtaking!
These didn’t look too comfy but how cool are these Victorian boots!
Hi y'all! My husband (Willie) and I share a great love story along with a strong passion for budget friendly shopping. We have had many great trips to antique shops, flea markets, yard sales, and our favorite little thrift stores. Our time together has taught us that money doesn't buy happiness. Savvy tricks, unique pieces and imagination really make a house a home. To say the least we both love the find! I hope you all enjoy our love story and our path to savings. xoxo Ashlyn
