Blue Heron Vacations Blog

Thursday, April 5, 2012

the gift of giving

Ocracoke shops have dusted off their shelves, swept the floors, and opened the doors to the Holy Week and Easter visitors. My sister has been in her shop, Over the Moon, re-arranging displays. It's a remarkably effective trick shopkeepers use to make customers think they have new products.

I ran around the shops yesterday looking for belated birthday gifts for both my brother and law and friend Sarah. I saw many items that would enhance my enjoyment of my Ocracoke Island house, but I wasn't shopping for me!

In the end, I went with gift certificates for both, so that they too can have the pleasure of shopping (men like picking out lures, right?).

About Me

My Photo
Name: Blue Heron Vacations
Location: Ocracoke, NC, United States

I grew up on Ocracoke (Class of 1990!) and graduated from Davidson College. Jennifer, who many of you know as the owner of Blue Heron Realty, has been a great and true friend for as long as I can remember. I work as a waitress at the Cafe Atlantic, serve on the board of our community radio station (check out WOVV.org) and write an occasional column for the Island Breeze. Every time I travel I fall in love with a new place, but nothing yet trumps living near my (at times eccentric) family, swimming in the Atlantic on our world class beach, and being part of the strong, warm and inspiring community which is Ocracoke.
