February is well under way, and we have heard that
Punxsutawney Phil predicts an early spring as he did not see his
shadow on Groundhog Day (February 2). Of course, we will have to wait
to see the outcome of his prediction! In the meantime, we hope everyone
is staying cozy and safe as we look forward to the coming of Spring.
Here at the Shop we've received some welcome snow flurries and
wonderful new items coming in for the new season...and of course
we've been very busy preparing for our ANNUAL SALE! We welcome you to
join the fun: swing on by or visit us online to
see what's new!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Valentine's
Day is almost here and the Indian Craft Shop is a perfect place to
find a special gift for the loved ones in your life. The Shop has
something for everyone, from a co-worker to your loved ones. If
that special someone likes jewelry, we have a selection of the latest
in contemporary as well as all-time classics by today's master
jewelers; Beadwork created
by artists across the country, each with their own styles; Alaskan
masks, drums (Blackfeet), and Anasazi Spirit Dolls to thrill a
decorator's heart; Pueblo and Navajo polished bowls, wedding vases
and storytellers are perfect gifts for the budding collector or to
add to a loved one's or colleague's collection; Navajo weavings with
classic designs complement any décor and office; fetish carvings of
stone, shell or other materials would be a great gift for just about
anyone; Folk Art always warms the heart and brings a smile; and don't
forget the children who would love to snuggle and be read to from one
of our many children's books of
Native American stories. We have many ideas and will be happy
to help you find that special gift for the loved ones in your life!
