February 2023

* 5 New * 2 Featured Navajo Rugs *

Well; we got what we asked for. Rain; and lots of it.  As you have probably read or heard in national news stories, California started 2023 with a series of huge storms. The coastal areas got feet of rain and the mountains got even more feet of snow.  Here in central California’s San Joaquin Valley, we got seven inches of rain; its flat; no mud or rockslides here. We’re glad to have it after three years of drought.

As a cold winter continues across the county, there’s few things better than a Navajo weaving to add warmth to your décor.  Below are some terrific options.

New To The Collection

# 1188 is a Klagetoh Navajo weaving with four borders; it is 51″ x 35″ and circa 1965.  This is a very nicely woven one-of-a-kind work.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! January 2023

* 3 Featured Navajo Rugs *

It seems the weather has gone from summer to winter fast.  In this part of California there are long summers typically eight or nine months of sunny hot days with warm evenings; there are two weeks each of spring and fall then a brief two-month gloomy winter that comes on quick. The Navajo weavings in our home and office with their wool textures and earthy colors make it real comfy and cozy in winter.

My friend Bill Gordon of The Gordon Collection in Telluride, Colorado recently expanded his long-established retail space and launched an online store convenient for those who can’t get to Telluride. Check it out The Gordon Collection.
