Adventures at the End of the Dirt Road
This is a look back at all my adventures this past week.
After another successful Christmas party, we decided to take advantage of a lovely day to go Pottery Shopping at the Handmade Pottery Capital of the United States, Seagrove, NC. We found some great deals and loved meeting this cute St. Bernard at Dirt Works Pottery. We ended our shopping day with a visit to The General Wine and Brew in Seagove for a glass of vino. If you’d like to know more about shopping for pottery, read Traveling the NC Pottery Hwy.
The day wasn’t over as we met more friends to enjoy the annual Christmas on Sunset, Downtown Asheboro. The streets were packed and we had a photo opt with Frosty.
Finally, it was Saturday and time for our niece’s baby shower. We enjoyed a lovely brunch and both Mom and Grandmother-to-be were glowing.
