 Introducing VIETRI at Fearrington Village
We are delighted that VIETRI, the renowned importer of
handcrafted Italian products, has joined the Village Center! Located in
the former Bluebirds & Hollyhocks space, the shop is gorgeous - filled with beautiful
pottery and other items for the home and garden, displayed with a little
rustic flair to reflect their origin. Stop in soon and find a fantastic
collection including
hand-painted earthenware, mouth-blown glass, wall decor, linens, and
hand-brushed candles.

 A
New Club Springs Up at Fearrington
One of the best reasons to live in Fearrington Village is the limitless
number of interest groups available to residents. Joining the long list,
which includes golfers, painters, cyclists and more, is a new
group - The Fearrington Walkers!
The
program was initiated by a group of residents to encourage everyone to get out and enjoy the beautiful setting and scenic
walking trails the community offers. With dozens of folks
already out walking around the village at any given time in any season, this program is sure to be a success. The $10 membership includes a
pedometer, instruction manual, two logbooks and a Fearrington Trails &
Paths map. The group will report their totals periodically, with a goal
of accumulating a total of 25,000 miles this year!
