"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."
