Last Thursday my friends Helen and Teresa and I finally (it had been postponed several times due to health issues of one or another of us!) drove to nearby Weaverville. We went there some years before, and wanted to see if there were changes, and especially some local businesses where we could give our slightly touristy dollars. We knew lunch would be our big expense of the day, but we each bought some smaller gift items at various shops as well.
Sorry, but there are lots of photos, which I may have to break into two posts (so y'all don't go crazy and just skip them entirely!)
Helen, me, and Teresa, who pushed the button on my phone...a real group effort! We finally got a really good selfie shot. The trick? Take it when we're first starting out, I think!
Look at this, a napkin holder that's hand crafted from Cedar!
The wood bar is a separate piece, which keeps napkins from floating away!
They have a separate studio where they make custom-made lamp shades...just look at the paper rack of what's available!
Sitting outside a bakery where we'll return later, this young woman was fine with me capturing a photo of her hair-do! Her hand was about to cover her face, and you can just see a corner of her friend's response to my request.
I'll give you a few more shots tomorrow!

...that hair-do, WHY?
