This week’s icon release is very loosely related to Anthony’s Jolly Roger release from last week. Inspired by the Marion family’s summer trips to the Outer Banks we present Corey’s tribute to the majestic light stations of the North Carolina coast – NC Lighthouses. From the tiny Ocracoke Island light to the nearly 200 ft. tall Cape Hatteras light, this set covers all seven major lighthouses along the coast. Follow the beacons and download these postcards to pin to your desktop or send to friends and family. Greetings from the Outer Banks!
