2024 Shopping Trip to the USA.

Okay so another trip has happened and as usual I spent far too much money on purchasing for the shop.

We hired a camper van and headed off to El Paso Texas from California and I at last got to meet one of my suppliers, whom previously lived in Merrylands over on the East Coast (it was always difficult to visit her)She had moved to to a new house in El Paso,Jasmine has been making my dreamcatchers for years now and has been awesome in helping me get in touch with suppliers.She was the perfect hostess and took us to a few venues.She is of Cherokee decent so is very knowledgeable on her history.

Spent a little time in Texas and headed off to the Southwest for my jewellery,then through Colorado,up to South Dakota,then down through Utah and Nevada and back out through Los Angeles.

So again it was a big 6 weeks with lots of driving but the sun shone most of the time and I got a lot of interesting bargains for the shop, not as much as I would've liked but our NZ$ doesn't go very far in America. 

Most of my new stock will be arriving by ship this time, at about the end of July's will be building up to great summer again.

And everything is big in Texas including my bum!!!

A raging fire we came across,lucky no-one was hurt!

Meet Bucc'ee,he's super big in Texas!

Meet one of my Navajo Silversmiths.Andrew Henry.

So anyway all in all another great trip, with lots of fading memories.

Someone was super happy to see me.Lots of love from us both, see ya"all in my shop.
