The air is crisp, the leaves have fallen, and the Carolina mountains are settling in for their long winter's nap. Here at Crested Roots, this season evokes a unique feeling of nostalgia, warmth, and quiet adventure. We wanted to capture that exact feeling. We are so incredibly proud to introduce our new, curated Carolina Winter Collection—a complete suite of artisanal goods designed to be the perfect companions for a cozy, authentic Carolina winter.

This collection is more than just products; it's a story. Here’s a look at the inspiration behind each piece.


The Heart of the Collection: The 2026 Carolina Field Guide & Almanac


It all started with the calendar. We wanted to create a 12-month journey through the state we love, but with the soul of a vintage naturalist's journal. Each month features a hand-illustrated, artistic study of an iconic location, from the snowy peaks of Grandfather Mountain to the golden harvest of the Yadkin Valley. It's an art piece, an almanac, and a daily call to adventure.

The "Cozy" Suite: The Old Salem Collection


What's a Carolina winter without the magic of the holidays? Our Old Salem Collection is a tribute to that timeless, nostalgic feeling.

  • The Sherpa Blanket & Pillow Cover: We took our "Old Salem at Twilight" illustration—with its glowing beeswax candles and Moravian stars—and put it on the coziest, plushest Sherpa blanket and a beautiful, reversible pillow cover. It's functional art designed to wrap you in warmth.

  • The Mug & Ornament: The collection is rounded out with the matching ceramic mug (for your favorite warm drink) and a beautiful Moravian Star ornament, perfect for adding a touch of authentic, artistic tradition to your tree.




The "Wearable Art": The Grandfather Mountain Hoodie


This is one of our favorite pieces. We took the stunning, detailed "Winter Study" of Grandfather Mountain from the calendar and placed it inside a classic bookplate frame on the back of a premium, heavyweight hoodie. With a subtle cardinal crest on the front, it's the perfect wearable piece of our Field Guide.

The "Companion": The Carolina Field Guide Spiral Notebook


The "Field Guide" concept wouldn't be complete without a place to write your own story. We took the artwork from our calendar cover to create a beautiful spiral-bound notebook—the perfect companion

for planning your next trip, jotting down ideas, or simply journaling by the fire.

This collection was a labor of love, and we hope these pieces bring as much joy, warmth, and inspiration to your home as they did to ours while creating them.

The full Carolina Winter Collection is available now.
