Linda Larouche models an antique woman's manta woven in the 1870's at the Toadlena Trading Post. That's trader Mark Winter at right.

Window Rock, AZ I’ll just post a couple of pictures quickly tonight.  I need to be up and alert at 6 AM to go to Canyon de Chelly but I couldn’t resist sharing two pictures with you.  We had a super visit to the Two Grey Hills area this afternoon and visited with Mark Winter and Linda Larouche at Toadlena and Les Wilson at Two Grey Hills.  The creativity and craftsmanship of the weavers in this area is astounding.  OK, I know that the Ella Rose Perry rug that we saw at Two Grey Hills Trading Post isn’t a Two Grey Hills design but it is a wonderful textile that I wanted share with you.

    Raymon: I have a blanket simialr to the pink blanket. My dad's family had sheep. Every year they would gather the wool and take it to Utah Woolen mills and make beautiful wool blankets. Similar to Pendleton blankets, in many different colors. Love the turquoise jewlrey. My mom has a big beaded bag of it that I hope I get a few peices of (she's half Native American) She finds it kind of amusing that Native American prints etc. are "in" right now.

    Remigio: Way to go, Navajo Nation! Either cease-and-desist, or collect roiaetyls for the use of your name (only on quality products of which you approve, of course). Same with sports teams that use Native names as mascots. Until recently, the University of North Dakota was paying the Standing Rock Sioux annual roiaetyls to use the name Fighting Sioux , which was a win-win and a source of pride for both parties. Unfortunately for both the Tribe and the university, political correctness put an end to that.

    Ann Puzio: Hi Mary, Need to change to the waiting list for 9/13-20th. I hope this is possible.Also, going to see if I can sign up for the online class, need to check my computer. Thanks ann
