July Flying Carpet 2016

“Those of us who tumble 
from place to place 
know a beautiful multi-colored, 
ever changing world. 
But (others) have lived 
grounded in their ancient communities 
for generations. 
They have a sage knowledge 
and sense of place 
that often goes unacknowledged 
by Tumbleweeds.”
 Judy Newland in Cloth Roads’ Blog

The Flying Carpet 
feels that it is a great privilege 
to zoom around the world. 
But it is a also astounding 
to stay in Santa Fe



  and have the best of both worlds: 
The World comes to you.
 At Folk Art market
 it serenades you with Malaysian music


 takes you on a different carpet ride in Nepal


 and makes ecstatic videos of it all


At Spanish Market
the artists leave the cathedral
in a solemn procession



the Mamacitas hold forth


and the scenery is not to be missed


 At Rieke Studios
Zachariah takes us on a Powerglide


No need to pack your suitcase!
