When Neil and Mary first started to dream of owning their own business back in 1977, they were living in an Applachian hovel with 28 leaks in the roof, a wood stove to cook on and a coal stove to heat it with in the winter. One winter day, the wood pile ran out, the coal pile ran out, and so did the money. Mary looked up the word "Bottom" in her Great Grandfather's dictionary, dated 1894, to see where they were, and found that being at the bottom isn't all bad. Hence the name,
Weaver's Bottom Craft Studio. |
