On a flash trip to Gallup, NM to buy some Navajo and Hopi jewelry, we had to take in a few of the local sights. This guy may be in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest "Dude" on the planet. It was next door to Jerry's Cafe, THE place for lunch in Gallup. I had some great Chile Rellenos and Pat had a combo of tacos and enchiladas. We had to satisfy our cravings for some good New Mexican grub. A rare find...and much needed nutrition after a long day of trading post buying. Can't wait to get back to the new space to show it to y'all! Heading up to Santa Fe tomorrow for the day. Check back! For now, we have some great silver bead necklaces, stunning Bruce Morgan (yes, a Native American with an Anglo moniker) sterling and 14K gold bracelets, Navajo artists Steven Begay and Melvin Frances and incredible overlay bracelet work by Hopi Deford Masauvtewa. We also got some nice baby silver spoons and rattles. We'll be back by this weekend with some of the work. We'll not be putting everything out, but if you read this and want to see some of the work we'll be setting aside, just mention this story and say you want to see the "special stuff"!
