Cloud Nine — Local services in Nags Head

A quaint bead and jewelry shoppe inside of a larger strip mall layout, the displays and aisles are packed as far as the eye can see in eclectic locally made jewelry. Mostly beach themed, naturally.

There are also original canvases, prints and framed art from locals as well and I picked up a nice canvas print that caught my eye.

For crafters there are thousands of a la carte beads and supplies like clasps, strings and wire to make your own unique jewelry.

The owner was warm and engaging. The store was quite busy when I visited and she did her best to greet everyone, offering help and guiding advice. I tried to be as unobtrusive as possible since I was primarily browsing and despite the amount of people she attended to, still circled back around to ask if I needed help or wanted to look at something in particular.

I hadn't even decided what we were doing yet. I saw the sea glass and pointed it out to the girls and the owner mumbled "or we can just stay distracted". I told the girls come on we're leaving because she was being rude to us and we did in fact leave without making a purchase. We will never step foot in...

This store is a treasure filled with treasures. Ginny, the owner, is so helpful and welcoming. I wanted to re-string my mala necklace and she helped me pick out everything I needed. She also drilled a hole in a standard 2-hole bead for me so that I could use it as a guru bead.

Cloud Nine has really unique finds, like handmade prayer beads from Tibet. I even picked up some handmade silver beads from Ethiopia. Incredible!! ❤️

They also have beautiful finished jewelry for sale and offer classes - which I'm definitely adding to my "to do" list for next year's vacation when I come back with my mother in law and cousins. It'll be something awesome for us to do while the boys go on their...
