If anybody is viewing this thread go to the beginning and read from there. It gets hilarious at times. Some of these people could probably be comedy writers if they wanted to.
But I know I *really* do not like pastels, or howling coyote stencils, or indian feathers, or really even dream catchers all that much.
What the hell is wrong with you!!!
I'm beginning to think I'm headed towards making the right decision! I love that stuff!

Actually, I don't know ANYONE who has their home decorated that way. Most people I know have the odd ristra or small NA/SW piece around the house, but I have yet to be in a pastel, howling coyote, Indian feathered, dreamcatcher home yet.
Well... I have some stuff sort of like that, some of it from AZ and UT... My darned ristra got all moldy and I had to throw it out. That's why I need to move to NM, so I can buy the replacements!

Um... Are you sure there's a legal requirement for that? I gave up ties of all kinds. The only thing I want around my neck is the arms of the woman I love!

Oh I love that Kokapelli stuff! I'll have to admit I've got a Kokapelli belt buckle, Kokapelli bracelet, and I think I've got a Kokapelli ring somewhere! (smirk)
I bought them in UT actually...

Hrm... I've got a howling coyote etched glass candle holder. I bought it in Sherman Oaks (San Fernando Valley part of L.A. where I currently reside, unhappily.)

Eventually, it 'spiraled-out-of-control' and OP signed off, but the good members of the forum carried on in the same spirit.
All between 09:18 and 11:45 am
Somehow, I just found it interesting.
Me too. I haven't read the NM forum since yesterday. Glad I didn't miss the topic!

I just love that! Yes, I know I can't afford stuff like that.

I agree! I wondered what the topic was, saw your reply, went back and read the whole topic. I hope nobody minded my long post.
I'm beginning to get more certain that NM is the place for me!

Front yard, goes in the front yard. Nice to also have an old stove ( or washer, dryer, any large non-working appliance ) next to it, with a weathered "FREE" sign duct taped to it. Extra points for being able to misspell "FREE."
Don't forget the Kokopelli garden gnome next to the pot-holed driveway...
