Exploring North Carolina with KathieyV

Several weeks ago Cindy and I found ourselves on an adventure.  We were at   Fearrington Village  in Pittsboro NC.  I love that place.  If you go you will find quaint little shops, a bookstore, a spa, several places to eat, and of course the   belted cows .  We were visiting  Fearrington Village for the  Folk Arts Festival .  After enjoying some of the artsy items and exploring the shops we decided it was time for lunch.  After checking our options we selected  The Granary . Here is quote from their website... "Offering a casual dining setting, The Fearrington Granary serves up lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. Whether you’re grabbing dinner with friends or celebrating a special event, make every meal a treat."   (They have a full bar and of course a wine list:-) Quote from their site.... “The Granary is a neighborhood gathering place,” says  Chef Colin Bedford , who designs and updates the menu seasonally...

As I was researching things to do this past weekend I came across Fearrington's 15th Annual Folk Art Show in Pittsboro NC.  It was not all that far away so Cindy and I took off on the adventure.  Here is how they describe the show.... "Our annual  Folk Art Show  features the work of self-taught artists who are deeply influenced by the spirit of folk art, naïve art, primitivism and outsider art. You’ll see whimsical paintings, fantastical robots, sculptures, pottery and more. Fearrington has garnered a reputation for bringing together an eclectic group of outsider artists who represent some of the most interesting work to be found in the outsider art world. We hope you’ll experience it for yourself! All sales proceeds benefit the artists directly; Fearrington takes no commission from the artists, nor does Fearrington charge a booth fee to the artists selected for the show. Entry is $5 at the door." The photos below are from the outside of the show...

Cindy and I were in Pittsboro NC last week.  Our intention was to visit the Folk Art event they were having at Fearrington Village, have lunch at the Granary and then stop off for a glass of wine at The Goat Deli, Coffee, and Wine Shop . Here is a description from their website... "Offering our Fearrington blend coffee roasted on-site, fresh morning pastries, housemade gelato, artisan soups, salads, sandwiches and signatures, and over 150 selections of wine stocked by our sommeliers — The Goat is the perfect way to start your morning, enjoy your lunch and relax at the end of the day." They have a Facebook page. where you can find specials and events.  I wish I lived a bit closer so I could take advantage of all they have to offer. Enjoy my photos and some quotes about their shop from their website, they will be in parentheses. What will you find?   //  AT THE GOAT'S WINE SHOP A revolving selection of over 150 wines from all over the world,...
