Needless to report, Navajo rugs are a major attraction in this region. The best way to purchase a rug is directly from the weaver, who is often the person who raised the sheep, carded and spun the wool, dyed the yarn, and finally designed and created the rug.  The second best way is to go to the Crown Point, NM rug auctions.  They are held once a month and you will find masses of beautiful weavings, large and small, at the most reasonable prices.  Kelly Place has some rugs for sale which were purchased from Navajo weavers who came to us or from the Crown Point auction.  This rug (17″ x 23″) is a raised weave, giving it a 3-dimensional effect.  Check out the Crown Point website to find dates and location: www.crownpointrugauction.com/

I better put his picture up and tell you…. he was the most adorable orange long hair kitty I had ever seen and he lived here for about 3 years before disappearing one day…. we never found a shred or heard of him at our neighbors, so who knows?

I was heart broken to see him gone so I’ll have to carry on his placid energy and be his spirit, here he is:
