Day 11: we drove up to nick's mom (Linda) & husband's (Jeff) beautiful home in taos to see this sweet, sweet handmade banner. we spent some time settling in before looking at our newly posted wedding photos. we then were treated to an amazing-in-every-way dinner at The Stakeout. we began the extravaganza by sitting outside on the wrap-around patio to enjoy the sunset and a bottle of Silver Oak, 2004, cabernet savignon, and several appetizers that have inspired me to cook/create new recipes (more on this in future posts). supreme! if you're in taos, or planning to go, or even if you're not, you MUST eat here! everything was perfect. i'm obsessed with food, so i could go on and on with many facts and details. but, i'll spare you. just check the menu yourself, here.
we had a special dessert waiting for us once we returned to Linda & Jeff's. perched on top were 2 individually carved ravens made by people from the Zuni nation. i'll have to take some photos which highlight all their details. the tart was handmade, of course, by Linda. you could taste all the love mixed in with the cream cheese and strawberries. delicious!
Day 12: breakfast table setting.

Day 12: we spent some time at Taos Pueblo, looking at the adobe structures, and the many, many open shops that featured handmade jewelry, pottery, food, and more. i felt a little funny taking photos of the people who live and work here, and their goods, so i refrained.
dinner table setting. i wish i had some better shots of Linda's detail-perfect table scapes.
this carved sculpture was sitting in the garden space outside of the Wired coffee shop. the coffee and cappuccino's were fantastic, but even more impressive was this garden-courtyard-sitting area-with sculptural water fountains which led to individual walk ways and doors of independent artists' work spaces, Wired, and get ready...a Psychiatrist's office. being a therapist myself, i can't imagine a better way to mentally prepare for clients than sitting in an area such as this. i'd hope clients could find the same serenity. so... anyone in the greater LA area know of any such spaces, or want to try to make one? let me know.
