I'm home from 3 days in New Mexico. what did I miss? my trip info inside

Posted by peglegpete (aka peglegpete) Aug 7 '10, 18:25

I went there to see an antique western collectibles show and tyo wander thru a few of the trading posts in Gallup. The dealers at the show had about a dozen navajo rugs that were spectacular, some incredible turquoise jewelry of all types [squash blossom necklaces, bolo's, bracelets], basically the whole gammut of things the Navajo silversmiths are known for. One of the dealers even had a stuffed white buffalo!

But the only thing I bought was a new starter for my car. It died this morning infront of a 7-11 [thankfully not on the freeway 100 miles from nowhere] in Gallup. $400 for the service call, and replacement starter, & labor.

Lots and Lots of posting, nothing major -- nm - amoxy Aug 7, 19:40
Ooh, so jealous - except for the starter - did you go to Richardson's in Gallup? -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 7, 18:37 3
- yes. they have some incredible pieces. I stopped there on my way to the El Rancho [it's ok, but not as good a hotel as it's hype implies] -- nm - peglegpete Aug 7, 18:51 2
  - The rug room at Richardson's in incredible. I can never walk through it without considering the value of their inventory - and hoping they never - MojaveMeg Aug 7, 18:56 1
    - I was digging thru their rug room. They must have an easy $5M of rugs. too bad over 80% of them do nothing for me, and look flat & bland - peglegpete Aug 7, 19:09
