Navajo Rugs purchased from Twin Rocks Trading Post

"I see that you featured my dad's (Rob in TX) home in Living With the Art! Awesome!
I've really enjoyed this new feature. I love home decorating, collecting, and seeing how others have displayed their treasures.
Our "cottage" home was built in 1940. The exterior is Tudor style, and one might never guess that inside we've decorated with reminders of the beautiful desert southwest and Mexico"

Native American Jewelry purchased from Twin Rocks Trading Post

"The only picture in which the items were arranged differently from the way they are all the time is the one of the necklaces, which I do not keep out on display because we live half a block from the elevated subway, and the dust is fierce. I wear them all and frequently. The overall reddish cast is the reflected color of my darkroom walls, against which the picture was taken."

Navajo Baskets and Rug from Twin Rocks Trading Post

"Am sending a picture of two of my most favorite purchases from Twin Rocks. They are Peggy Black baskets, usually displayed behind glass but would not photograph well that way.
They are, to us, symbolic of our Navajo friends in Chinle, who we became acquainted with through Futures for Children with the sponsorship of the eldest daughter. The baskets come to life for us with the larger one re-presenting the parents or grandparents of the six children, who are woven into the smaller basket. The two baskets sit on a small rug that Earlene's grandmother made. We look at these baskets and feel the beauty and harmony of the Navajo way."

Navajo Concho Belt purchased from Twin Rocks Trading Post

"Looking at the belt I realized that it was indeed one of a kind with its own character even before I learned its history. The belt's general design may not be necessarily unique, but the workmanship tells me that it is one of a kind. It was obviously hand tooled from memory with slight deviations in its patterns and spacing of the butterflies and conchos. There is very good selections and sizing of the stones and the buckle is well proportioned to the rest of the belt. It was worn but well cared for. The belt seems to have been designed for a female although it fits my waist perfectly. However it seemed to speak to me, a male. I have a small collection of concho belts (some more elaborate) but this is the only one that I have actually worn. It is displayed "up front" with my other belts."

"This belt was owned by Peter Holiday (Elsie Holiday's husband), he inherited it from his father Teddy Holiday who was a prominent medicine man in Monument Valley up until his death in 1993, he was approximately 90 years old. As close as we can tell the belt was made in the late 1940s and was given to Teddy as payment for a ceremony sometime in the 50's."

Navajo Baskets and Pottery from Twin Rocks Trading Post

"Here is a picture of the wonderful Peggy Black basket that my husband and I recently bought at Twin Rocks. As you can see it has found a home on our mantle along with a portion of a collection we inherited from a dear family friend, Amy Barber. She and her sister Carolyn were rock hounds and they collected these baskets and pieces of pottery on trips to Arizona and New Mexico during the 1960’s. When I was a young girl they would take me along to rock shows and must have instilled a love of the southwest in this city girl. Now in my 50’s I find myself drawn to the Navajo reservation and the pueblos of northern New Mexico. While participating in a Navajo weaving workshop in Window Rock I found out about the Twin Rocks Trading Post in Bluff, UT; and made a special trip to Bluff just to visit. When I saw the beautiful work of Peggy Black I couldn’t leave without this incredible Yei and Turtle Medicine Basket. I’m happy to say that it seems happy and very at home with it’s older relatives on the mantle of my home in Oceanside, CA."

Navajo Yei Rug and Navajo Pottery from Twin Rocks Trading Post

"I have been collecting Native American Arts & Crafts for over 10 years now and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. I live in Switzerland and my place looks nothing like the average home around here. Although some of the pieces have been with me for many years I still come home every night enjoying each single piece. Whether it's the rugs, the pottery, the paintings or the carvings, they all represent memories of wonderful trips and unforgettable moments. I have nothing but admiration for the creativity, the skills, and ultimately the beauty of Native American Arts & Crafts."
