Abstract:
Offering new life to an old craft were two North Carolina potters who displayed their version of face jugs during the national craft revival of the 1960s and 1970s. Displaying this pottery’s relevance in ages past was a brief history of face jugs. Noted were purposes such as grave markers warding off evil and moonshine containers warding off children from their contents.

Abstract:
The land Timberlake Farm Earth Sanctuary rests upon currently cannot be used for development, courtesy of a conservation easement in place since 2001. In continuing to set aside the land, visitors can still experience the sacred in its hiking trails, cabins, on-site chapel, and man-made lakes. As for Timberlake’s present owner, Carolyn Toben, the site has had this effect, providing comfort and consolation during a forty year span defined by professional gain and personal loss.

Abstract:
Standing in a quiet section on the edge of Durham, Five Oaks Clubhouse gives a living room appeal to the Forty Acres concerts held there on Saturday nights. The venue is small, seating just over one hundred, which gives the audience the opportunity to sit close to the stage and meet performers during breaks. Performers have come for decades, some known like Tiff Merritt or David Olney, others just beginning careers.

Brooks did not come from Seagrove, nor did she grow up in a pottery family. She did not begin working with clay until she was thirty-two. Now, twenty years later, she's known as the \"Rooster Queen\" for her creations of stoneware roosters and chickens. Her specialty is Polish chickens that have wild, sea-urchin crests.

Cratis Williams was born in the mountains of eastern Kentucky. He grew up to be a storyteller, balladeer, linguist, scholar of Appalachia, and teacher. In 1942, he came to Appalachian State in Boone and by 1958 was dean of the graduate school. It was his love of Appalachia, its people and lore, that helped inspire a special library collection, the W.L. Eury Appalachian Collection that is known world-wide.

Abstract:

Abstract:
Opened in 1883, it fulfilled customers’ needs from the cradle to the grave…literally. Mast General Store’s location in Valle Crusis almost lives up to the store’s slogan from that time: “if you can’t buy it here, you don’t need it,” indicated in the accompanied photo. As for the general store nuance of yesteryear, that can be perceived in the chicken coop door on the floor (deterrent for dishonest chicken barterers) and a five cent cup of coffee.

Abstract:
The Battery Park Book Exchange is an eclectic bookstore located in Asheville's Grove Arcade. Customers can enjoy wine, champagne, coffee, or snacks as they wander through the 30,000-volume bookstore. Thomas Wright, who had a long career in industrial chemical manufacturing and restaurant management, wanted to do something different, and in 2004 he bought a bookstore in Little Switzerland. In 2009 he opened his present store in the Battery Park Hotel and in 2011 moved it to its current location.

Abstract:
Apple, peach, lemon, or cherry, the flavors have not changed in fifty years, and neither has the recipe developed by G. M. Griffin. Griffin and his cousin Alton Bodenheimer started B&G Pies in 1949 on their back porch in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Today, B&G workers still make the pies by hand, with the familiar wax paper wrapper.
