Fearrington Village

I know, you are all wondering why there is a post on Fearrington Village when this blog is about Raleigh! Well, we all know that we sometimes leave Raleigh and we go and visit other cute, fun, historic or just sweet places in North Carolina. So this is part of a series of posts that from time to time we will share favorite LWR places to go - places that make living in Raleigh that much more fun. It can be a day time trip or a long weekend out of town.

To start off the 'Sometimes you leave Raleigh' post is a favorite place of mine. It holds a dear place in my heart as I celebrated my marriage at this lovely Village. Fearrington Village. Nestled about 8 miles south of Chapel Hill, Fearrington is easy to get to, makes you feel spoiled and stylish, and provides sooooo much eye candy.

To start off the tour - take in a few pics of the grounds. Just walking along these paths and taking in these views makes me feel peace and serenity

Fearrington House

Then you come across these cuties....

Getting Ready for the State Fair....

Wish these Belties some good ole luck!

Then, head on over to the Belted Goat for some casual/to-go goodies or meander through Dovecoat. Let me preface this all - Dovecoat will make you drool....

First up:



Camera Phone is to blame -
but you get the jist!



Yes, Please

Guaranteed - this ottoman WILL be in my home one day. And customize the fabric! Love.

Then head on over to the book shop. A total LWR favorite - why you ask? Because we total support independents. All the way...



Cozy right up in the chair for a quiet read

And then, when you are ready for lunch, or my favorite - brunch on the weekends, head on over to The Old Granary. You will just need to go there yourself to get to see the darling decor indoors! Kinda french provincial with the hardwoods lending to the familiar ambiance. Tasty, yummy and fresh food, all with impeccable service.

So, where do you enjoy going to on the weekend when you just have to leave Raleigh??
