Sedona is a great place to escape the mid summer heat in Phoenix. It always amazes me that 90 degree weather is a welcoming temperature from the Phoenix sun.
This small artsy community always inspires me. The red rock as you enter Sedona has one of the most calming affects. To walk the galleries and the shops and sit outside and enjoy a refreshing drink or meal and wait for inspiration comes easy.
The Native American artwork, the patterns on the ceramic tiles, walking on red earth and the cast of the red rock against the blue skies is just phenomenal.
We visited Tlaquepaque shops this visit. As you walk in there is always an abundance of little shops and dining. I am always captured by the ceramic tile work, the large metal art work, galleries and the simplicity of it all. I was able to capture a few pictures of the ceramic tile and hopefully I can design a few crochet motifs.
I was good and did not spend too much money, but all those Christmas ornaments at the Feliz Navidad store got the best of me, especially the glass ornaments of the cactus and the bullhead skull. My Christmas tree is a lifetime of memories and I added to the collection this weekend. Come to think of it, I could rid of every nik nak that I have with the exception of the Christmas tree ornaments and that alone would tell my life story.
Hoping the rest of your weekend is wonderful and inspirational.
With Grace,
Debra
