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.
This quirky market in North Carolina – The Market on Oak – is a front-row ticket to some of the finest, authentically-crafted products. Located in the small picturesque mountain town of Spruce Pine, the exceptional gifts we’re looking for are created by authors, farmers, and musicians of Western North Carolina. Reflections of rich experiences and a unique culture come through as art, jewelry, pottery, clothing, and stories. Let’s discover the terrific treasures in this cool, nonprofit market.
The Market on Oak has showcased the work of farmers, artists, and authors of Western North Carolina since 2005.
It was started by the Mitchell County Development Foundation, a nonprofit organization that helps create jobs and promotes education and tourism in Mitchell County.
