If you spend any amount of time shopping in Santa Fe, you know how delightful it is to stop into the Cielo Stores. In addition to the two shops on Guadalupe, three now exist on Canyon Road. One is very gifty--scented candles and the like. Another is a perfectly delightful children's shop. The third is Cielo Handcrafted. This one is totally different from the others because it features items from Latin America.
Cielo offers the finest quality merchandise in all its stores, and Cielo Handcrafted is no exception. If offers a few very informal, but high-quaity table linens in interesting colors that are neutral enough to blend or contrast with many place settings. I love the hand-made terra cotta pottery for plants. This pottery comes in many sizes and shapes, and some feature a funny face molded into the clay. My aloe plant is very happy in its new pot. If you love weavings, you will be thrilled with the selection at Cielo Handcrafted.
At the check out counter, you might notice small, round thin cookies under a cloche. Try one, then hope like anything that the boxes of larger ones are not sold out. They are delicious. The young woman who works in the shop makes them each morning before opening. I, for one, hope that she does not get tired of baking them.
