Craving some color? Or just need a fresh perspective? As spring fever heads into full bloom, look no further than our Dash & Albert rug collection for some inspiration in your home. Our new shipment has every color you’ll need to brighten a kitchen, spice up your living room, or create a fun outdoor space. My personal favorite is the new “rope” style…perfect for mixing in a bit of texture.

All rugs are available in a variety of sizes ranging from 2’ x 3’ to 8.5’ x 11’ including a runner that’s 2.5’ x 8’. In-stock items take about a week to ship…just in time to for the season!

But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life…

One of the wonderful things about living in Fearrington is being part of a true neighborhood - not only the greater Fearrington community, but more intimately, the area in which you live within Fearrington. With approximately ten different neighborhoods, and many more cul-de-sacs, street blocks, closes and so on, Fearrington Village offers ample opportunities to gather and toast life and meet and share in laughter.

The 'WOW' is one of these many special social happenings. 'WOW' or Wine On Woodham was started by Kay Tarr, a very special lady who lives on Woodham, a winding road that leads up a wooded hillside in the Bush Creek neighborhood. She expressed to a neighbor and then another an idea to meet once a month, with each resident taking their turn to host in their home, each neighbor bringing their favorite dish and perhaps a Pinot in hand, and most certainly friendship in heart. More...

Do you think you could eat twenty courses over 4 hours? A few weeks ago, the wait staff at The Fearrington House Restaurant did just that, as part of training on the new spring menu.

As Executive Chef Colin Bedford noted, what better way to train than with a simple, but effective, game of ‘turning the tables’. One afternoon, the wait staff became guests, tasting each new course at tables, as Colin and his lieutenants Tom Whitaker and Thomas Card explained each item, and the thinking and preparation that went into them. Wine Director Max Kast paired wines with each course for the full effect. The result: a thorough and immediate knowledge of the menu, and lots of fun and laughter along the way.

Owls have always held a special place in our imagination, especially in spring. This is a busy time for owls, as it is mating season and also time for hunting for newly abundant prey!

Our new owl collection is docile and approachable though. Discover a variety of charming owl-inspired plates and trays (including one from Juliska) that make great little accent pieces throughout your own nest. Use them to hold keys, earrings, soap, spare change - or simply for an unexpected touch of whimsy.

Stock up on our owl matches for fun hostess gifts on the run - and don’t forget to check out our wire-frame owl sculptures and prints! These pieces are a great way to bring nature indoors for a breath of fresh air any season!

Don’t miss the paintings of Emily Eve Weinstein, now on the walls at The Fearrington Granary. And meet the artist at a reception showcasing her exhibit on Monday April 23rd, from 6-8pm at The Granary.

Originally from New York, Emily spent five years in Europe: two in Greece, then Paris for art school and England for her first year of college. At Virginia Commonwealth University she got a BFA, then migrated to upstate New York where she was a resident artist in the school’s painting murals. When the grant ended, she bought a van and traveled through the US and Canada, painting the unwinding scenery for three years. She settled in Durham in 1982 as an artist painting portraits and murals. More...
