We’ve been getting ready for a new season—adding all sorts of great things to the museum gift shop. We just restocked on one of our most popular items: “Message in a Bottle.” Made by Amber, these are wonderful—and inexpensive—little treasures to take home as a reminder of the museum.

Each bottle contains a teeny tiny message that has been hand-rolled and tied with the greatest care. They’ve also got several tiny seashells and a pinch of sand from Hatteras Island with a necklace length cord. We’ve currently got 5 different Native quotes to choose from.


We’ve also restocked 3 other types of bottles that have semiprecious gemstone chips or herbs. Make sure to check out the full display next time you’re in the giftshop!
