In October, I went to the Crown point Rug Auction on the Navajo reservation
while I was traveling and bought a few Navajo rugs. It was great
fun and you don't have to worry about "fake" southwest style rugs
made in Pakistan or some other country halfway around the world.
The Navajo weavers bring the rugs to the auction that very evening
- an hour or two before the auction starts - and you can meet some
of the weavers if you want. They hold the auction at the new Crownpoint Elementary school the second Friday of every month, viewing at 4pm and auction begins at 7pm. Here's a peek:
