History
We are a family owned small business. Deb is the primary owner who was a doll maker for many years. Upon moving to Wilmington area, she found that shells were a new art form which led to her first storefront in Sneads Ferry. That grew into a larger space in Surf City allowing the addition of more nautical art and decor. Outgrowing that location led to downtown Wilmington in City Market, followed by Chandler's Wharf, then on to the current location in the heart of downtown on Front Street in the largest space yet. This has allowed branching out to incorporate many unique items both for Christmas and nautical themes, with a personal blend of both. We also have a special presence, by Deb's Kringleberry's, which usually make their appearance in the fall of each year. They are rare and special and only come out in small numbers each year. We carry items that are not available in big box stores.
