I met Kenneth Johnson yesterday!  I live in Santa Fe, and my husband and I were at the Plaza browsing/shopping.  We went in to a high end jewelry store, and there he was--repping his studio line.  Ladies, he is incredibly nice and, if possible, even MORE handsome in person!  He was just lovely and friendly, and his jewelry was amazing.  I tried on a gorgeous bracelet that was handmade and $1800--YIKES!  I told him he needed to bring a version to the Q--LOL!  He even admired my Judith Ripka bracelet and gave me a little backstage scoop.  What fun!

I wish!   But I told Santa it was just too expensive!  BUT, maybe Santa could put it on layaway LOL!

Re: ATTN: SOUTHWESTERN GALS!!!!

Speaking of Southwest gals,  boy did I see one at the grocery store today.   An older woman about 70, looked normal enough but she wore a large 10gal cowboy hat,  Western shirt,  looked like baggy jeans stuffed into Ariat Fat baby boots.   On said boots she was wearing SPURS,  first time I've ever seen that.   I could hardly keep a straight face and wanted so badly to ask her where she tied her horse.   Not a drop of turquoise. 

 

I'd seriously hurt myself if I tried those spurs.

I LOVE that description, Kachina!  I wish I could have seen her.  You see EVERYTHING here in Santa Fe--that's one of the things I enjoy about living here--especially during Indian Market--the jewelry is out in force--LOL!
