Fearrington Village bookstore that features readings by popular authors.

We were going to afternoon tea at Fearrington House and got there early to shop around. One stop was McInyre's Fine Books. Fearrington Village is (in my opinion) is a little posh, so I had in my mind that this area & the shops would be geared toward a certain type of patron (which I am not). Upon entering McIntyre's I was shocked by all the variety. My mom & I are in elementary education and I am a library science grad student so we ventured to the children's section first. I was blown away by the multicultural selection of books! Not just white faces on the covers, all colors :)

Needed a getaway since the pandemic and the sadness of the loss of our dear and much loved 16-year old dog, so we needed a trip not too far from home that was an easy drive and we decided on Fearrington Village and Inn. Our room was nicely appointed with a garden view and the staff was friendly and helpful. Everything was clean and staff wore masks and gloves. It was very hot weather, but we found shade in the gardens and they have a wonderful little cottage room for guests where you can read and relax. Breakfast was a real treat with lots of nice touches, like a smoothie, and homemade biscuits. Dinner was exceptional! Make sure you leave room for dessert. A nice touch was the gift of some house made peach preserves to take home. We will definitely go back, maybe in the Fall when it is cooler. Just what the doctor ordered!

This store is one of the gems of Pittsboro. If you live in the surrounding areas — Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh, Hillsborough — it’s worth the drive to visit this unique, delightful shop. The shop is located in one of Pittsboro’s older homes. The front yard is decorated with a slew of metal sculptures, mostly quaint animals and creatures, of varying sizes and colors. These sculptures were all produced by craftsmen in villages in Africa. The front porch is lined with dozens of colorful handmade baskets of different shapes and sizes. Again, these baskets were produced by African villagers using local products and dyes. Step inside and you step into another world. Every room is like an African museum. With exception of a couple rooms that contain French fabrics at incredibly low prices, all other items are from Africa. You’ll find a wide assortment of handmade jewelry. This jewelry is decidedly African and very different from any jewelry you’d find at Belk or Macy’s. It makes a real statement. In addition, there are many carved wood pieces of varying sizes and different woods. Totems, fertility goddesses, a variety of African wildlife and African villagers. You’ll find hand-woven bowls in bright colors and patterns that are absolutely beautiful. And smaller table-top metal sculptures. They also have a nice collection of fossils of different sizes and types. There is too many fantastic items to list. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and will any questions you may have, including where each item came from and how it was made. Again, it’s well worth a trip to Pittsboro.
