30 mph Wind

The temperature dropped more than 20 degrees during the night, and the wind picked up considerably. Lying in bed this morning I could feel the cool air filtering through the open windows and I could hear the rocking chairs banging on the front porch. I stayed under the covers longer than usual but finally roused myself. Village Craftsmen is now open 9 am - 6 pm, 7 days a week, and I needed to get moving.

Next time you're on the island stop by and see the new pottery and other crafts we've added to our gallery this season. We think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

You can read our latest newsletter here: http://www.villagecraftsmen.com/news031806.htm. It's the story of traditional quilting on Ocracoke Island.
