REMINDER - WE ARE OPEN THIS SATURDAY!


We are open this Saturday, June 15th, from 10:00am-4:00pm. We look forward to seeing you!

 

FATHER'S DAY

 

Sunday, June 16 is Father's Day, so come into the Shop and find that perfect gift for Dad. Whether he is the outdoor type or the studious type, you can find something that will "speak" to him. Cufflinks, a ring or bracelet, a key ring or a money clip might be just what Dad needs. The whimsy of folk art or a carving might bring a smile to Dad's face; or, maybe Dad would just want to have a piece of pottery to add to his collection, like a happy frog storyteller with little frogs gathered around listening to stories about his childhood.

 

Stop in and see what might bring a smile to Dad's face this Father's Day. And, don't forget, to help you with those last minute gifts, we are open Saturday, June 15.

 

POLLINATORS DEPICTED IN AMERICAN INDIAN ART

JUNE 12 - 26, 2013

 

We hope you are enjoying our highlight on Pollinators as much as we are. We have gathered arts and crafts in recognition of National Pollinator Week (this year the week is designated as June 17 - 23). Enjoy along with us as we celebrate through June 26.

 

 

Hummingbirds, butterflies and flowers are depicted in jewelry, carvings, sculptures, folk art and on pottery. Dolls are dressed in traditional clothing with flowers adorning the fabric. Bats and bees appear in carvings. Baskets made from plants that are pollinated can be in the shape of berries, plates, vases or bowls; we have a full-size Apache burden basket adorned with butterflies. We hope you can visit the Shop to see our selection, but if you can't make it here in person, please visit our highlight page to see a selection of our pollinator items. 

 

And if you are interested in learning more about pollinators and what you can do to protect and encourage them, go to www.pollinator.org or visit www.fws.gov/pollinators. Stop in to learn more about this event that is so important for Mother Earth, and see the fruits of the blossoming talent of today's American Indian artists.
