Cool, interesting, unique items made in North Carolina (Raleigh, Apex: home, wedding)

[capnb]

Hi,
I'm trying to put together a list of local, North Carolina companies that produce interesting things.
Could be anything from food/consumables to clothing, toys, leathergoods, really anything at all!

If you have a favorite local business that creates something right here in NC please share!

Thanks so much

Aunt Ruby's Peanuts, in my original hometown of Enfield, NC. DEEEEE-licious. The "Country style" are a classic and nothing like Planter's Peanuts, etc.

You can have them shipped directly, or get them at the Whole Foods at Ridgewood (not the North Raleigh Whole Foods, strangely).

Lloyd and Lady Boutiques (in the site where Lydia's used to be, corner of Six Forks and Strickland). The proprietor used to have items are Lydia's and has now taken over the space. Really nice, interesting home décor as well as some women's clothing.

Virtuoso Jewels, by a friend of mine and longtime goldsmith, Larry Seiger. Located in downtown Apex. I have not been able to visit his story yet, but he made my wedding rings
