Wedding Wednesday! Our Journey to Chimayo

During our honeymoon last October, we took a day to drive out to Chimayo and stop in Ortega's Weaving Shop. Ortega rugs have been man since the 1700's and the family's weaving tradition has been unbroken since then. My family looooves Santa Fe and this shop was a must-see on everyone's list of recommendations. I was going to make some super cute mosaics of images, but these handmade rugs and other textiles have to been seen as large as possible!

You can visit Ortegas Weaving Shop online and look through their selection. It's just breath taking...and the softest, thickest rug I've ever had. The cats love it, too ^_^
