Riverfest

We got a wonderful surprise when we stopped by this years annual Riverfest in Wilmington, NC. We had stopped going for many years because of lack of decent vendors. It had become a long succession of over-priced food vendors, poorly made over-priced chotski vendors and swarms of rude spectators. This year we were in downtown Wilmington, to stop into one of our favorite store, Down to Earth, and decided to see what was going on down on Water St. We were pleasantly surprised by the eclectic group of vendors, many of whom we will be visiting at their shops and bringing you more information about them.

Here are a few pictures:

The Smells of Fall.....

One of the great things about living in Wilmington, NC is the unique stores we find here...

Welcome to the wondrous apothecary Down to Earth. If you visit their website you will find their many aromatics, but to really experience what they have to offer you must step inside the store located in The Cotton Exchange (a former cotton mill). The store is a mystical delight of the senses. In addition to a vast array of aromatic items they have beautiful jewelry, statues, jars, kimonos, figurines, pendulums and more.  As you walk through the front door you will be tempted by the Buddha Board...

 and directly to your right peeking out from the displays is an enchanting dryad.  

The owners and staff will greet you with a smile and answer any questions you may have about the multitude of products. Watch out, you will have so much fun chatting with these lovely ladies time will slip right past you.

The always sunny, Ashley

Let’s take a stroll around the store (and as always if you see anything you like that is not on the website contact them and they will be happy to help you).
