Anna and I had to go to Santa Fe the other day and decided to stop by a great antique store called The House of Old Things on our way. This is a wonderful old home, originally a very old adobe, that was added onto in the 60s. The addition was done beautifully with original materials, put together in a contemporary design. Its owner was an architect and the effect is magnificent.
The couple who lived in the house are gone now and their relatives have been selling their various collections from the house itself. Anna has been frequenting the place for years and says that there used to be even more treasures than are available there now.
It is an amazing place filled with surprising things. Any of you in the area, or those visiting the High Road, owe yourselves the treat of stopping by—if you love old things, that is.

lucky you again!!
It is just a superb place to find very small treasures as well as large. Generally, the prices are somewhat high, but good deals can be found. Even when pricey, the finds are always worth it.

Yes, lovingly collected one of a kinds 🙂
Fabulous treasures. Those baskets are wonderful.
Yes, and of course there are great baskets tucked EVERYWHERE!

thanks..can’t wait for the old house too
And I can’t wait for your visit with the High Road Artist on THE road! 🙂
i’m planning to visit…you.. and is it the hand gallery? and cordova-hines….is there a B&B in the vicinity? i don’t find one on google, except in chimayo….although i can drive on to taos…a sunset drive! love my NM time.Â
There are several B&B’s in Chimayo, only 8 miles down the mountain. I’m represented by Hand Artes Gallery. My Anna Karin Gallery is mostly closed for the winter, but on sunny weekends we should be open. Cardona Hine, my friends Barbara and Alvaro, is a wonderful gallery. Look forward to meeting you.
It’s only 23.5 hour drive from Kirkland to you…what a nice road trip…across Utah is a  little boring as I recall from our trip to Chicago….but worth it!!
Grace! I didn’t see this comment from you until just now. Utah can be beautiful, depending. 23.5 hours is nothing, right?
Soulful is exactly the right word… a very soulful place. Glad you could join us.
