The State You're In gave us a shoutout! 📣 In essence, Handmade goods, Ocracoke soul.

"We’ve been in a lot of shops across North Carolina, some with charm, some with trinkets, and a rare few that feel like they’ve actually held onto something real. Village Craftsmen on Ocracoke Island is one of those places.
Set back on Howard Street, under live oaks and quiet sky, since 1970 it’s the kind of shop you remember. Shelves lined with handmade pottery, carved wooden spoons, coastal prints, and little treasures you didn’t know you needed. Nearly everything inside is made by North Carolina hands, thoughtful, practical, beautiful work that speaks louder than any souvenir ever could. Handmade goods, Ocracoke soul."
