And now for something a bit different... I made a short trip to the Navajo Rug Auction in Crownpoint, NM earlier this month. It was interesting and surprisingly fun.

Bill enjoyed the rug post.

The "Tree of Life" with the birds is one of my favorites.

Thanks.

Thanks for your comments, Frank and jd, 

 

The auction is certainly worth attending if you have any interest at all in native arts. I was surprised at how fun it was to be there.

Several years ago, we attended an auction in Moab! It was well worth the time.
