New Mexico Artists Navajo & Pueblo Jewelry.

Monsoon Season in Laguna

2010-08-13T11:14:00.000-07:00

We're green again! Rainstorms, thunder, lightening, wind! It's glorious and so welcome in the desert....the gardens are uncontrollable.

The pueblo silversmiths have spent their winter production in anticipation of the tourist season. Navajo artists have jewelry and rugs on almost every corner in Albuquerque's Old Town and the Plaza of Santa Fe. Taos streets are traffic jams with tourists cramming every shop. What a glorious season.

Shell, Coral, Turquoise and Sterling Silver are the latest hot items, but there are gemstones for everyone.

It's a great way to go into fall, Christmas shopping done! Belly full of Chili Rellenos, Enchiladas, Guacamole and Fajitas!

Navajo Intertribal Ceremonial

Everyone come to the Navajo Intertribal Indian Ceremonial next week in Gallup! There is a rodeo, dancing, arts & crafts, food and lots of seller's tables with jewelry, jewelry, jewelry!

You can't ask for a more beautiful place to experience the ceremonial dance and awesome costumes, with barn swallows swooping and diving, the huge open sky and 10,000 visitors from across the planet!

Pueblo Summer

2008-07-11T06:40:00.000-07:00

Early morning is beautiful in New Mexico, and a summer morning tastes of low slow moving clouds, Western Kingbirds chattering in the still dark trees and a breeze like refrigerated air flowing down from the mesa.

The Search: We're on our way to Gallup - breakfast at Earl's. Huevos Rancheros, red chili, hash browns and an endless parade of hopeful Navajo vendors . Grandmothers in shawls, teenagers with colorful hair, dark-eyed siversmiths with heavy Sterling and leather ketohs and concho belts come to our table.
