I Love To Shop

One of my most favorite pastimes is shopping and living coastal I have access to many different types of shopping venues than others might have. Let me make one thing absolutely clear – there are simply no bad shopping days for me. Any day shopping for anything is a fabulous day! I consider it my own personal form of therapy whether I buy anything or not.

Recently I had the opportunity to go to shopping with one of my girl friends, also a therapy shopper like myself. We don’t just shop for clothing and jewelry like you might think. We also shop for the kids and the dogs and the house and the husbands. Honestly, that leaves a whole lot of shopping to be done in a limited amount of time. That’s why we have to pace ourselves and keep returning.

Our shopping excursion provided us with discovering some new places we hadn't’t been before. One of our discoveries this trip was Maritime Passage, a beautiful spot surrounded by lush cedars, oaks and dogwood trees. They’re new to the island and they carry a nice assortment of sportswear, gifts, jewelry and lots of accessories. I always say that a girl can’t have too many accessories or shoes!

Another treat we discovered was Canopy Outfitters. Unlike you might think by the name they’re a clothing store specializing in comfortable outdoor clothing for active men, women and children, too. There’s nothing that says you can’t look stylish while you’re out fishing, biking or hiking and this is the place to get yourself all decked out for fun. We spent hours in this store.

We wrapped up our shopping trip by stopping by the Maritime Market to pick up something for dinner before heading home. I have to say this was definitely a four star shopping trip from start to finish! If you get a chance, head over to Bald Head Island and check out the shopping venues. You’ll be as delighted with what you find as we were. I'm sure of it!
