Some of my favorite memories are from our trips to Ruidoso, New Mexico each summer.
We would pack up the ol' camper and follow Dad and his horses out for Ruidoso Down's summer meet and the
All American Futurity. .
.
Hedy and I have fond memories of staying in tiny log cabins and playing with our Barbie dolls out under big pine trees. Mom would make lunch everyday and then take us into town for an afternoon of shopping.
If I think back hard enough, these excursions into Ruidoso were my first introduction to Navajo heritage and jewelry.
In turn, tons of inspiration over the past 25 years has Ruidoso's name all over it.
Summers in Comanche with our Grandmothe evoke such memories.. shopping at Higginbothoms.. going to the DriveIn at DeLeon in her big old car.. visiting relatives with all kinds of yard animals.. fresh veggies she picked! But most of all.. she let me use her sewing machine to make Barbie clothes and play costumes.. such fun ! thanks for reminding me of those times!
Our design inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes, in all forms, and from all angles. The Heritage Departure collections were born out of wanderlust. This transitional collection plays with colors and silhouettes that work beautifully in summer, fall, and beyond.
As the saying goes, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”, and no one brought more truth to that phrase than Santo Domingo Pueblo jewelry artisans. These masterpieces were made from whatever they could find.
