🌊 We loved having Lowcountry Tide Clocks as a vendor at the World Famous Blue Crab Festival!

Handcrafted in South Carolina, their beautiful tide clocks are inspired by the coastal towns and waterways we know and love, including North Myrtle Beach, Cherry Grove, Calabash, and more. Each piece is a functional reminder of life along the coast and makes a wonderful addition to any home or beach house.

Be sure to explore their collection and support this talented local business! 🦀⚓

A returning favorite at the World Famous Blue Crab Festival, Elwood Prison W**e brings more than delicious, handcrafted South Carolina fruit wines; they bring a powerful story of family, resilience and purpose.
Inspired by a father-and-son connection, the business also raises awareness about injustices in the judicial system and supports children of incarcerated parents. Every bottle truly has a story worth sharing! 🍷🦀
