Barrel
Fatwood Holder full
So far
so good. Some of you are buried under feet
of snow, but the ski resorts are ecstatic, and
the kids had a snowball fight in the front
yard! If you will forgive me the syrup -
the glass is almost ALWAYS at least half full.
Think
how happy you will be to see spring.

The wrought iron and tule Log Holder is still
on
SALE
to help you keep dry wood inside.
As a
fair trade company, your purchases really do make
a difference in the lives of the many artists
we represent here. They set their own prices,
according to their needs, and we respect those
prices. As you can tell by the work found here,
and the quality, this is a winning combination.
We had
a wonderful year, and a VERY good holiday season,
thanks to all of you! What can I say?
Thank you SO much!
Susan

I thought it might also be fun to put my doggies and
kitties up for adoption (on sale). Above is Louie.
Below is Frankie. There are a lot more.
There is a full collection of black clay pottery from Mexico, which is really elegant and one of a kind, while being extraordinarily well-priced. The Mateos family is quite famous in Mexico, but virtually unknown here. If you want to prove to one-and-all that you have exquisit taste, this is the gift I recommend, for someone special or for yourself.

Be sure to check out cotton clothing for women AND men. I have also added some embroidered dresses for children. There are new blouses with LOTS of embroidery, headpieces, and belts for a fresh look. I recently added some wonderful new organic jewelry, made with seeds, pods, and stones like agate, jasper and quartz, to finish that breezy lightweight cotton look. The blouses are also super-nostalgia gifts.
We have added a section of Talavera, because I handpick the pieces and they are quite beautiful.
The
deer are now the color of dead leaves, and if
they don't move I can't see them in the yard.
The babies are pretty tall, and the young bucks
have disappeared. A racoon who lives in the
barn has had 3 babies, and I think we will have
to re-locate them to higher ground near a stream
in a few weeks, before they find the cat door
again. The Porcupine has had a glorious
summer.
I found
her (him?) one morning early up in the pear tree
having breakfast. Quite a sight. I also
think we have a Mountain Lion who has moved into
the canyon, as the deer are much thinner, and
we have found rather large paw prints. My
neighbor's Guinea Hens are also disappearing at
an alarming rate. I hope he moves on and doesn't
become a Fish & Game call. They would trap
and re-locate him (and we are not sure he is alone
- based on the tracks).
I can't imagine living in any other way!
