Unique finds from around the world

Spry Creek, set in the quiet woods of Corolla village, will surprise you with its worldly goods. You’ll find table linens, from fancy French designs to Grandma’s vintage prints. There is American-made, hand-blown glass by Blenko and LE Smith, along with Polish-made art glass by Jozefina. Pottery from Spain, Portugal, Poland, Mexico and the United State is a specialty here. If you’re looking for locally made goods, you’ll find them here, including organic soaps and soy candles, genuine sea glass jewelry, decoys, original art and crafts and, new for 2012, garden decor by the Nock Sisters of Aydlett, N.C. Other surprises include tapestries made in North Carolina, hand-woven throws and toys.
Spry Creek is owned by lifelong Outer Banks resident Karen Whitfield and her husband, John. They have converted her father’s old auto repair shop into a surprising home accents shop. They kept the old bay doors and shop flooring for charm, along with Karen’s father’s work bench, which came out of Penny’s Hill Lifesaving Station. Spry Creek is named after a deep-water creek just north of the shop where local fishermen used to keep their boats and a couple of local crabbers still do.
