Figs are on my mind...
Fig cake
Fig preserves
Fig tea towels
And a fig recipe!
Karen Rhodes has done it again. What better way to keep up with a recipe than print it on a tea towel. They tea towels are a perfect gift to pair with a pint of yummy preserves to give as a birthday or hostess gift. Stop in and check them out.

Sometimes it takes a few tries to get just the right picture. (I was too busy to get a nice event picture.) Many thanks to Karen Rhodes and Matt Janson for signing copies of OCRACOKE UNTAMED this afternoon at Books to be Red. Many more thanks to all of you that stopped in today to welcome and congratulate Karen and Matt.
Yes, they did leave signed copies with me so you can still get an autographed book. They will make the best gift for an Ocracoke nature lover.
