Sun Aug 23 - 88th Annual Santa Fe Indian Market

Today we woke up early and headed to the annual Santa Fe Indian Market. It's is an amazing event with several hundred Native American vendors representing over 100 tribes across the Nation. Traditional pottery, rugs, beadwork, sandpaintings and jewelry intermingle with more contemporary pieces. I will admit, it would have a lot more fun if I had a lot more money!!!! Oh the shopping I could have done!

As it is, I bought a small Din'e (Navajo) sand painting and called it good.

Our first purchase - an Indian Taco
