The Spanish Table in Santa Fe

G R E A T     .    F I N D S

The SPANISH TABLE is filled with Wonderful stuff - hard-to-find spices, myriad olive oils, tins of sardines, jars of fruit from the Chilean Desert, packets of squid ink, smoked Spanish paprika, Moroccan olives, cazuelas , exotic sea salts, steel paella pans - some as big as a kiddie swimming pool -  tagines , and just about anything that even hints of Spanish culinary foodstuff or equipage.


And lots and lots of cookbooks...


The tins and packaging are so gorgeous, you'll be tempted to buy a few just to plop on an open shelf in your kitchen.











They have great dishes and glassware...






And hard to find ingredients...





The perfect stocking stuffers...




And lots of olive oils and hot sauces...

I go to this fun-crazy show every year and it keeps getting better and better.  It never ceases to amaze me how artists can make
something nifty and collectible out of a toaster...


A coffee pot...


An old decoy...


But they do, and their capacity for turning re-cycled odds and ends into
vibrant art makes for a very fun afternoon.







"stilettos"






And opening night, there was a re-cycled fashion show.
Very clever and very chic. 




Maps & Spoons...


Some colorful people too...




Clearly...the sky's the limit with these amazing artists.

Tucked inside the Sanbusco Market Center, this beautiful, ten-year old
store is filled to the brim with simply lovely stuff.

Missoni robes and towels, amazing hand-woven & hand-dyed throws
by Santa Fe artist Gretel Underwood, Oaxacan rugs by Sergio Martinez...





Owners Barbara Lenihan and Betsy Hackman know how to search out
the unusual and hook up with and support artist's cooperatives
around the world. Vintage finds are brought back and with
the help of a local seamstress are turned into pillows and
 other delights for the shop.
