Under Brown Mountain Lights the Beast of Blandenboro wanders this magical land where lighthouses shine on kingdoms only accessible by ferries. A Lost Colony of legends and pirates revealed in historical sites and majestic mountains with views that make us weep. The home of handmade sculptures and scrumptious cuisine. North Carolina leaves this long-time writer and artist breathless with endless surprises, including the unlikely warmth a winter walk on the beach can bring.
Southern Highland Craft Guild, headquartered at the Folk Art Center in Asheville, North Carolina, is rich in history operating a support network for creators by showcasing their work and helping their businesses thrive. This admission-free center exposes visitors to the guild’s members open to makers in 11 different craft mediums, including glass, fiber, clay, wood, natural materials, metal, paper, leather, jewelry, manmade materials, and mixed media. Let’s take a look at just a few offerings of this lovely, admission-free center in North Carolina.
If you're driving near Asheville on the Blue Ridge Parkway, a good time to take a break is at Milepost 382.
While this stop does not lead to a nature trail or waterfall that you would typically find on the parkway, we assure you, the sights here will not disappoint.
Just look down and see the variety of beauty you will encounter. Along with an art gallery and gift shop, you will find restrooms and an information center.
And don't forget to look up for some added surprises.
