		<title>#113: Limited Lifetime</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why have I been wearing the same sweater everyday for the past week?  My favorite winter sweater has a limited lifetime and I&#8217;m trying to squeeze all the seasonal festivity out of it before it&#8217;s too late.  I didn&#8217;t make up the rules, but, however lovable and timeless, the deer n&#8217; snowflake (or anything n&#8217; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=indiansummervintage.wordpress.com&blog=4643513&post=827&subd=indiansummervintage&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>#112: Barn Theory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As if you even had to ask! (Not that you did&#8230;)
I love barns.  I&#8217;ve been positively barncrazy this past week and here I lavish some fruits of my barnlust.  (Another thing I love, apparently, is trespassing on other people&#8217;s property&#8230;)


This barn has been happily converted into an antique store which was unfortunately closed the morning [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=indiansummervintage.wordpress.com&blog=4643513&post=821&subd=indiansummervintage&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>#111: On the road to Happy Holidays</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the next two weeks I&#8217;ll be looking for inspiration in New Hampshire and the Pacific Northwest.  I&#8217;m checking out of here until 2010, but not before imparting each one of you with a kiss and my very best wishes for the merriest and happiest for your holidays and New Year.

		<title>#110: Same Old</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Beeear with me, more Native American silver and turquoise.  Perhaps just let it lend extra meaning to my moniker?
Matching Harvey era pins from the 1930&#8217;s, Navajo crafted.  One for me, one for my sweet sister.
The symbolism:
Arrow: protection
Thunderbird: Bearer of unlimited happiness
Headdresses on either side of the arrowhead: ceremony, like a ceremonial dance

		<title>#109: Signs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While out West my eyes must have trod over hundreds, maybe thousands of old Harvey bracelets and adornments.  I wrote this post a while back about the history of Mr. Frank Harvey and his influence on the Navajo jewelry and turquoise trade, why his pieces are so abundant and so wearable, and, so, won&#8217;t go [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=indiansummervintage.wordpress.com&blog=4643513&post=801&subd=indiansummervintage&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>#108: Badlands</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As winter descends, let&#8217;s not hibernate.  Let&#8217;s remember why we are built the way we are, and go places.
Or, make really, really good use of our Netflix accounts.  (Yeah, I&#8217;m awful.  And a sucker for a night in bed with Terry Malick.  Remember this?  Still waiting on this one.)
Badlands, 1973 by Terrence Malick.   Starring [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=indiansummervintage.wordpress.com&blog=4643513&post=793&subd=indiansummervintage&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>#106: Speaking of&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mmm, yes, speaking of putting money back in the pot and plumping up that little nest egg&#8230; Mmm, yes&#8230;  But when a one-of-a-kind-something-or-other sings its siren song, there&#8217;s one of three ways things can go: 1. nab it without hesitation, live happily ever after; 2. walk away with little to moderate hesitation, let its memory [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=indiansummervintage.wordpress.com&blog=4643513&post=786&subd=indiansummervintage&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve all been here, right?  I&#8217;ve got you by my side?  The heartrending pain that descends deep into the bowels of your being after losing an auction on eBay.  The subsequent soul searching, all of life&#8217;s questions staring you dead in the eye&#8230;yeah, life&#8217;s tough.  OK.  But I really, really wanted this one.

		<description><![CDATA[
&#8216; &#8220;Beauty&#8221; is a quality that the Navajos particularly appreciate; it is a  repeated theme in their songs and chants and it is manifested directly in their  weaving and jewelry&#8230; Set in a dry and austere environment where food and water  are scarce, the seminomadic Navajos are all the more remarkable for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=indiansummervintage.wordpress.com&blog=4643513&post=769&subd=indiansummervintage&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
