Pico and His Collection.......

Pico Nin COLLECTS toys.....He really enjoys his hobby! He used to "secretly" collect Beadwork...He thought the beadwork smelled just like a big rawhide chewie, and took great pleasure in chewing the beads off of his collection... So, after that.....he began to "secretly" collect Zuni fetish carvings....he really liked the ones carved from Antler....he thought they tasted just like a nice old bone to chew on.....LOL....So we found him a new hobby....one he takes great pleasure in....and that is collecting and surrounding himself with toys! He has decided that we should let our nice customers at Indian Summer buy our beadwork and our fetishes....he encourages all of you to collect and enjoy...and surround yourself with objects you love! You can find those treasures on our website "Indian Summer"....Pico says..."Just tell them Pico sent you" when you give us a call!

MARCH 20th.....FIRST DAY OF SPRING!

Happy First Day of Spring!  I remember always celebrating it on March 21st....not sure why all these "first" days of the seasons have changed to the 20th....going to have to look into that one....but hopefully Spring has sprung!  I plan to enjoy every moment of it, and hope you do as well!  Start your spring off with a new Fetish Carving... or Fetish Pendant..... check out our newly reduced "sale priced" carvings at Indian Summer !  We look forward to hearing from you!  Happy Spring!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Wishing you a very happy St. Patty's Day! Hope your day is fun filled...with lots of yummy corned beef and cabbage.....and a wee bit of green beer! St. Patty's Day only rolls around once a year...so enjoy the day!

May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light,
May good luck pursue you each morning and night.

Regal Eagles......

We are very lucky to live where we do...we have the beautiful Wasatch Mountains to the east of us....and the Great Salt Lake directly to the west of us. The Farmington Bay Bird Refuge is part of the Great Salt Lake...a small inlet of water where 100's of species of birds migrate to yearly, and call "home"....The most majestic birds that call this refuge "home" from December through March are the Bald Eagles. In the month of February, they estimate that there are at least 100 eagles....and sometimes up to 400 eagles that call Farmington Bay their winter home. This is a two minute drive from our home..or a short ten minute walk...these beautiful creatures are basically right in our own backyard! Today we drove down to take a look with Phyllis and Ellie....we spotted over 25 eagles perched in the dead trees that they love....and we saw many circling overhead....a good spotting day! One eagle was very content out in the water on an old piling....I'm sure it was getting it's fill of "the catch of the day"....If you live anywhere near Farmington, Utah....this is definitely worth the drive to see....how fortunate we are to experience these magnificent eagles so up close and personal! Hope you enjoy the photos!
