Let real estate agent, Britney Kensmoe, take you on a stroll inside Holly Springs and introduce you to the amazing small business owners of Holly Springs, North Carolina. Holly Springs is the city of southern charm that boasts an abundance of local businesses, an up and coming downtown scene along with delicious eats along the way.

Beth Martinez de Andino and her husband Gerry have spent 40 years in sales, customer service, and business ownership and management. Currently real estate agents, the couple’s passion is running their artisan boutique store and coffee shop, Our Moments in Time. It was a dream they began making a reality in 2014 when they found the perfect location on Main Street. During the challenging five year process that it took Beth and Gerry to file the proper paperwork and revitalize the late 1800s building, they faced an onslaught of trials. Beth lost both her mother and her father and was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer forcing her to undergo extensive treatment. But full of heart and resilience, Beth and Gerry rose above to create one of Holly Springs’ most charming shops.

Open since June 2019, Our Moments in Time is a delightful boutique where you can purchase a delicious cup of coffee, grab a sweet treat, and browse a winsome collection of handpicked artisan goods and home decor. Beth and Gerry strongly believe in supporting local small businesses, so the majority of their goods are sourced from and displayed by regional artists and craftsmen. Discover one-of-a-kind furniture, handmade jewelry, reclaimed wood signs, hand-poured candles, custom children’s clothing, original paintings, vintage gifts, handcrafted soaps, earthenware dishes, and more. The inventory is constantly changing, so you will be sure to discover something new on every visit. Our Moments in Time’s coffee shop offers staples like lattes, americanos, hot chocolate, tea, frappes, and fruit smoothies as well as scones, brownies, cookies, and crumb cake. Grab your favorite drink and peruse the shop or sit back on one of the porch rocking chairs and unwind.

Beth and Gerry care deeply for our community and strive to make it a better place. They have volunteered for many different nonprofits and organizations over the years and contributed to various causes here in Wake County. Our Moments in Time hosts neighborhood events, fundraisers, give-aways, and raffles, and, of course, proudly supports the local Holly Springs art scene by marketing the work of neighborhood vendors.
