Painted Desert
The I25 between Albuquerque and Santa Fe is a magical journey -- for me at least.
Best at sunset, when the high desert dunes cast incredible shadows, and the sun sets flamingo pink..."a color at a time. The hills put on their blankets. The hawk and crow were done. And as I said softly in the twilight. See you tomorrow sun..." not my words, but I couldn't have said it as well.
Six richly colored, and textured, strands -- two of golden freshwater pearls, two bronze freshwater strands, one silver freshwater strand, and one strand of 4mm jade. Luscious!

Painted Sky
I was visiting one of my favorite people in Colorado. We'd finished a busy day and settled down to watch the sun turn tangerine, and fall behind the mountains. The temperature dropped, and I built a roaring log fire in the chiminea. We wrapped ourselves in old camp blankets, drank hot chocolate and munched on amazing toffee from Enstrom's. Then, as my friend went to gather more wood for the fire, he gave a gasp. I looked up, to see a huge red patch leap across the sky. As the scarlet patch high kicked it's way across the horizon, another patch started to form and spiked into the sky. From behind the mountains a blue/green glow appeared covering the whole of the horizon. Yet another crimson spire pirouetted upwards into the heavens. All around the sky was a vivid canvas for all the world to see. Aurora Borealis!

BIG BLUE TOO
Lying in my hammock at night is one of my favorite occupations. Sometimes I'll light the kiva fireplace. Sometimes I won't. Either way, nothing beats just lying there, smelling the freshly watered Honeysuckle, and listening to the nocturnal wildlife come to the spring to drink. The nigh-time skies of New Mexico are equally as stunning as the daytime version...just a little more discreet.

Deco
In London my idea of a great Sunday afternoon out includes a visit to "Speakers Corner", followed by afternoon tea at the Savoy. At the Savoy you feel as if you've been transported back to an elegant, glamorous age...an age of gentlemen who stand until you are seated, an age tea dances, and wall murals, and on, and on, and on.
Inspired by those elegant times...Deco. Wonderful, toffee colored, natural Carnelian rectangles, highlighted with hand made copper beads. The necklace is finished with a delicate hand made copper closure, and measures just over 17". It will sit evocatively at the base of your throat. Glorious!

¡Salsa!
And when I say ¡Salsa! I am not talking your average variety. Definitely not that bland bowl of tomato puree that appears on your table at the local Tex-Mex. No, for this kind of ¡Salsa! you'll need to travel south west. In fact now would be a great time to go. This has been a wonderful chili season in New Mexico. Seemingly unimpinged by the drought, Hatch, New Mexico, has produced an early, and a magnificent, crop of chili. Further south, in Los Cruces, the chefs at 'Si Señor' have worked their green chili magic. When you take your seat a bowl of warm green chili and a basket of fresh, warm tortilla chips awaits. I don't care where you live -- it's worth the trip!
Three strands of blue/green turquoise nuggets sprinkled with chili red coral. Here and there a delicate hand made sterling silver bead. A wonderful green Tibetan turquoise, pendant, set in sterling and surrounded with
sterling beading. The necklace is finished with hand made sterling cones and closure. Necklace measures 18" untwisted, and 16.5" twisted. I wear it twisted to meld the colors. But naturally, the choice is yours. Pendant measures 1.5" by 1.25" at widest sections.
