Shop to Stop Domestic Violence, Caroline's Collectibles,

Morehead City, North Carolina

Caroline's Collectibles, Morehead City

Okay Folks, this is a no brainer in my opinion.  Save the planet, save some money, clean out your closets and help stop Domestic Violence at the same time! 

 

Caroline's Collectibles, Morehead CityCaroline's Collectibles is a unique Thrift Store located at 3716 Arendell Street in Morehead City, North Carolina.  They have only two paid sales associates and several volunteers who man the shop.  They are always so friendly and helpful, and obviously believe in the cause they are supporting. Proceeds help benefit the Carteret County Domestic Violence Program

 

Caroline's Collectibles is a great little shop, clean and neat, and full of treasures.  The clothing selection is wonderful and well organized.  They also carry shoes, dishes and small household items, books, music, jewelry and BAGS!  I love Bags, but I especially love the selection of Vintage Bags that Caroline's always has available...I am a sucker for anything Vintage.  Just yesterday, I came home with a bag full of "New" Clothes.  I went to Caroline's  and only spent $11.  Three new shirts, one skirt and yes...One Bag, all for $11!   My personal rule is that for every new item of clothing I buy, I donate 2!  In fact, as my weight fluctuates, I have actually been known to donate something and then buy it back!!!

Amy, I haven't been in CC's in ages and you've sparked my shopping bug again.  I need to clean out my closets and stop by.  I love that store and of course, the cause.  Thanks for the reminder.  I suggested this blog for a feature.  Battered women need all the support we can muster.  Thanks for caring.

Thanks Roger...pretty wonderful yourself!  The statistics are startling...If you think about 1 in 4 women....That's a lot of people you know!?  Caroline's offers everyone an opportunity to help, even if just by buying a t-shirt or making a donation.

Craig - When I asked if they would mind my taking photos for a blog, they were so excited...The director said, "We need all the help and publicity we can get".  They thought what I was doing was great, but it doesn't even come close to what they do on a daily basis.  I commend them!

Marian - Thanks!  With your years of experience as Director of a Battered Women's Program, I knew you would appreciate this post.  Hopefully, this post will get them a few more customers & donors, and maybe it will lead one more battered woman to the help she deserves.
