If that's not the connection, I give up. Still, the name makes it stand out from other like-styled shops. It's an open space shop, with wide aisles and lots of glass shelves and racks to keep the light flowing throughout. It makes it easy to see the item in a non-distracting setting. Things are mixed throughout so you'll find similar items all around the store. There's a mix of media here, art created by the two owners along with pottery, jewelry, prints, scarves, and the like made by others with whom they share a common view. The goods are contemporary for the most part, but with a nice variety. For a unique gift, or to claim ownership of an original work of art, you'll find this is a good place to start, or stop. You can probably find something less expensive at a similar-themed place, but what you get may be more cookie-cutter style.

I was able to come in, show the owner some previous framings I had done, and she made the aesthetic of her piece look aligned with my previous pieces that I had done elsewhere. I visited again less than a week ago with a photo that I had found on the internet showing the kind of style I was looking for. We picked out the ideal frame and the mat and talked about the layout. Today I picked up my custom frame job and it's PERFECT. PERFECT! The owner of this store is friendly, professional, and she does great work. It's worth the price. Take your money here and support a local business instead of going to a corporate chain for your framings. Whenever I need anything framed - this is where I will go!

Late on a Friday night with the museum closed, the old Chatham County Courthouse* still delivers a…read morefull architectural show from the center of Pittsboro's traffic circle. Completed in 1881 in a Late Victorian style with a classical portico and a three stage cupola, the building was designed as a sturdy two-story brick landmark that immediately became the county's civic anchor. Pittsboro has always been the county seat, and the county itself was named for William Pitt, the Earl of Chatham, a British statesman admired by the colonies. Walking around the exterior, you get that rare unencumbered 360-degree view that reminds you that they truly do not make them like this anymore. After a devastating fire in 2010, the courthouse was restored and reopened in 2013, with the first floor becoming the Chatham Historical Museum and the second floor returning to courtroom use. The result is a tremendous blend of preservation and resilience. It's a historic structure that still commands the center of town with all its original presence.

The courthouse had a massive fire in 2010 and the bricks were the only thing that could be salvaged. There are photos documenting the rebuilding process. The museum has free admission. The museum is mostly in one room but there is a gallery in another room and a gift shop. The museum tells about the people from Chatham County. There is a section that deals with the land and the agriculture of the area. Another section focuses on education and an old school. Veterans are also given a section of the museum and a tribute. Volunteers run the exhibit and are happy to answer and questions you have. The hours the museum is open are limited but if it is open when you are in Downtown Pittsboro it is worth a stop.
