Since I am wearing a furry scarf, I will be joining up with Tammy @ Silverstyle's Trending through the Decades - fur faux real?

Today I am going to share a couple of photos of some of the Native American art I have in my living room.
 |
| On the top 2 rungs on the kiva ladder are authentic navajo made rugs. The peach and blue blanket is a 40's piece. Most of the things you see here are native made, but a couple are not. The afghan over the chair was made for me by my Grandmother. The fabric on the chair is of cave painting animals. You will see in some of my later photos, I love petroglyphs and cave painting. |

When I was taking these pictures I realized that I have some really beautiful pieces of art. It is easy to become accustomed to seeing things in your home and not taking the time to appreciate their beauty. When I was taking the pictures I stopped to really admire what I have accumulated over the years (lots of years!). Take a moment to look at the beauty around you.

Debbi, your collections are so beautiful. I love that it has taken you years to assemble them - that each piece must be special to you. I love the rugs so much -- I have owned pale imitations of these, but none so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove your furry scarf too.
Debbi, a very nice reminder to stop and smell the roses!
ReplyDeleteI love your scarf! thank you so much for linking up...............
That sequin jacket is amazing and I want one! WOW! You have more "Native" stuff in your home that I do! haha I actually don't have anything. My favorite pieces are the rugs and the pottery. Kiah
ReplyDeleteHow cool to take a moment and realize the beauty that already surrounds you! Love this fur scarf! It makes your outfit so glamorous!
ReplyDeleteFurry collar and a sequined jacket? I think I'm in love! You have an incredible art collection. It's all very culturally rich and beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteOooh! I want a fake fur scarf like that! I'm allergic to real fur, but I love the look.
ReplyDeleteAll of your art is really taking me back! I grew up with a lot of similar pieces (in Wichita). I wish my mom still had more of it. I think most of our indian pieces are at my dad's house.
