Objects of Art Sante Fe; What We Learned Along the Way

And a good time was had by all….

In Santa Fe the show goes on!  While there were fewer attendees, they came to buy!  We got to see old friends and even made new ones.  Traveler’s Market has re-opened and is open for business.

 

A Good Exhibitor Turnout

This year, the show featured everything from contemporary to historic, antique to modern, with over 40 exhibitors on the Show Floor. The show also offered paintings, sculpture, and fine art of all kinds as well as jewelry and textiles. Tribal, folk, American Indian, African, and Ethnographic Asian art was on hand too and Tiger was there.

Moving On

While the show is over  you can still reach Tiger by  contacting  us whenever you like. We’re sorry if we missed you. There are more upcoming shows in September and you can always catch us there. Tiger is also affiliated with The Santa Fe Travelers Market.

Some recent additions to inventory are posted on Face Book.

Tiger made many stops along the way from Taos to Las Cruces visiting with new and long time shop owners. “It was really good to see some old friends again.”

Tiger highly recommends staying at some of the historic hotels should you be passing through that way. “They are truly extraordinary.”

Tiger Tiger at Qilosophy

“Qi”: The circulating life force whose existence and properties are the basis of much Chinese philosophy and medicine.

quilosophy.2  Tiger Tiger has formed an alliance with Tucson’s Stephanie Nelson of Qilosophy (pronounced chee-losophy), an acupuncture and cupping massage center.  Tiger Tiger now has a display case of merchandise in Qilosophy’s new location at 2532 E. 6th St. in Tucson, AZ. The unique and one of a kind pieces on display in Qilosophy’s beautiful space complement the fun and relaxing, physically and visually pleasing environment created by Stephanie. Both places share a common passion for the ancient traditional/medicinal practices derived from Chinese culture. Practices that benefit ones physical health and personal/mental wellness today the same as they did so many years ago.

quilosophy

Cupping is a centuries old technique which is intended to increase blood flow to promote healing and relaxation.  In a typical cupping session, glass cups are warmed using a cotton ball or other flammable substance and placed over a specific area on the body.   A vacuum is created as the heated air cools inside the glass cup, drawing up the skin. This opens up the skin’s pores, stimulates blood flow, and most importantly, balances and realigns the flow of “qi”. Cupping breaks up obstructions, and creates an avenue for toxins to be drawn out of the body.

She has been a practicing massage therapist in Tucson since 1996.
