Albemarle Neighbor: Bowman turns late-night baking into Edenton home business
In Edenton, Ashley Bowman spends her nights mixing up batches of sweets for her Take It EZ Home Bakery. “I’ve always liked to cook,” Bowman said. “This is what I do for fun.” Bowman, a pharmacy operations manager at the Walgreens in Edenton, started the home bakery more than a year ago. She named it after the initials of her sons, Eason and Zane. She does her baking at night, after her family has gone to sleep, filling the house with the aroma of desserts in the oven. Bowman makes a variety of cinnamon rolls, including cookies and cream, a favorite of one of her sons. She also makes pound cakes, but cake pops are among her most popular items. She can make them in a range of cake flavors and customize them for special occasions, including themed cake pops for children’s birthdays and school-themed ones that have become popular teacher gifts.

Albemarle Craftsman’s Fair finds a fit at new site in Currituck
BARCO — Max Whitley has been finding ways to appeal to shoppers strolling the aisles of the Albemarle Craftsman’s Fair since 1978. Whitley was among about 40 vendors selling their arts and crafts at this year’s 66th annual Albemarle Craftsman’s Fair, held Oct. 23-25 at the Currituck Cooperative Extension Center in Barco. In past years, the popular artisans’ market was held in Elizabeth City at Knobbs Creek Recreation Center or Museum of the Albemarle. Whitley owns Easy Street Leather in Greenville. He said while clothing trends have changed over the decades, a good leather belt is still a popular request from his customers. Customers gathered around his booth to inspect his merchandise by running the smooth leather between their fingers. “They are looking for something quality built, out of the good old American land,” Whitley said. Besides belts, Whitley was selling bags and some smaller items. “I don’t make many bags, but I have crossbody bags. This one is cobbled with brass nails,” he said. “I have leather key rings here.
