Carolina Summer Sacks are now available in the online store!

I print each of these by hand from my own hand-carved blocks. This big bag is large enough to hold a towel and a book and water and more. With a long strap, it can sling cross body, or you can tie the strap to a shorter length. All cotton, the bags are washable and cold water bleach safe. Every one is a bit different as I create them one at a time. It’s always a good day to be in Carolina!

This is Charlotte – Interview

Deborah Cavenaugh Introduces A Collection of New Paintings By Eight-Year Old Wilmington Artist, Charlotte Armitage.

Charlotte, a student of Deborah’s and the daughter of Dr. Sam and Debbie Armitage, created these paintings from October 2009 through June 2010. Having just completed the second grade at Friends School, Charlotte paints about the things that interest her, delight her and tell her own story.
