For our last show of the 2018 season, I headed to the Historic Village of Corolla for a Holiday Bazaar and stayed overnight at The Tiny Surf Shack in Kill Devil Hills.

Owners Lindsay and Andrew of ALTwood , in Historic Corolla hosted a fantastic Holiday Bazaar including a CO OP just down the way, Corolla Village Market. Local artists set up their work outside – ready for folks to mingle + shop.

Local Artisans gathered to share the Christmas Spirit and their goods with the community. It was so nice to see some familiar faces I have met from past shows, and great to meet lovely new artisans. Camp Cocktail was creating delicious drinks .

Fresh cut mistletoe + pine adorned the large Artisan Tent. Christmas was in the air.

As Friday evenings Bizarre drew to a close, I was looking forward to my next adventure of the day. .. finding my Air BnB for the evening. Packed everything up and headed to Kill Devil Hills.

The Tiny Surf Shack is tiny living with a bike ride to the beach. The backyard is set up for you to grill, wax your board, sit and sip coffee, or read a book in a hammock underneath the oak. Inside, each detail is thoughtfully planned to suit your needs. The next 30 visitors of this lovely nook will be receiving a 2 ounce sea salt.

So, as I pulled up to the Surf Shack, it began to rain… but the beautiful lights in the Oak brightened everything up. It was an utterly enchanting experience.

Woke up with a great night sleep, and grateful to find a supply of KDH Coffee there for me to enjoy.

As usual, the weather dictated my plan and I had to cut the show a day short and head back to the island.

The Outer banks are a beautiful place to explore and I am grateful my job lets me do just that and meet amazing folks along the way

Thanks Everyone – S

Tropical Bark with Smoked Sea Salt

April 3, 2018April 3, 2018 ~ HatterasSaltworks ~ Leave a comment

This past Easter Weekend, I joined Miss Belinda and The awesome crew at Lee Robinson’s General Store in Hatteras Village for their first wine tasting of the year.

From 4-6 pm we sampled decadent cheeses, meats, local jams, wine from around the world, and our white chocolate bark with smoked pecan sea salt. It was so nice seeing familiar faces, and meeting new ones after a long winter.

Today I am sharing our Easter Bark Recipe. Pineapple and Coconut bring the tropical vibe and the Smoked Pecan Sea Salt adds a Smokey, buttery Southern Flavor.

We will need:

1 Bag white chocolate chips
1/2 cup toasted, shredded coconut
1/2 cup chopped dried pineapple
Hatteras Saltworks Smoked Seasalt

Melt chocolate in double boiler until smooth, spread evenly on wax paper. Evenly sprinkle pineapple, coconut and sea salt. Chill in fridge 30 minutes. Break up into bite size pieces.

The fun part about Bark is you really can’t go wrong – if you’d rather add dried mango or sesame seeds or ( you see where I’m going here) Totally up to your taste buds –

Hope you enjoy this delicious salty + sweet treat – to stay posted for info on the next wine tasting at Lee Robinson’s General Store and other tasty events we will be participating in the upcoming season, follow our social media pages.
