CAROLINA COTTAGE OPENING SOON
JANUARY 30 SOFT OPENING PLANNED
Edenton as a town and community obviously has a gravitational pull for many, however creative individuals who are in love with small towns are especially attracted to the historic prestige the town offers.
So is the case with Don Vaughan and William Payton who've been working diligently on rehabbing a cottage on Carteret Street, coming down from Delaware on the weekends, to address the task. While researching Don’s family history, they discovered Edenton. The family, Don found, has ties in Beaufort, New Bern as well as Washington.
For those driving down Queen St. past the Bridge Exxon a new sign sprouted last week, signifying a new business. Don and William's new business.
Spending more time in Edenton, they decided to open a similar business at 104 West Queen Street, to the one they own in Delaware.
The Carolina Cottage will be a mix of repurposed/up-cycled furniture, home decor and gift items and other found objects.
According to Don they plan on offering a selection of 'must have' items that are 'friendly to the wallet. William has been a small business owner and floral designer for over 30 years and has been honored a number of times as winning ‘Best of Delaware'. Don also has over 25 years of retail and business development experience.
“We are community minded and see the importance of supporting small and local business,” said Don. “We understand the value of supporting local businesses so that the money stays within our local community.”
The duo also own a business in Delaware and are in the process of selling the business to an employee. The look towards a March closing date, however, they plan on opening sooner in downtown soon.
"We hope for a soft opening on January 30,” said William, “We look forward to meeting the community. After that weekend, we will be open a few weekends a month as we navigate selling our current business in Delaware and establishing our full-time residence in Edenton.”
