(Sunland Park NM)
We went for brunch at Ardovino’s Desert Crossing and found a Christmas Crafts Market outside. An Italian Omelette and Trailer Park Biscuit-n-Gravy were both very good.

There was one building with vendors; but, most were in large tents that were thankfully heated. Local and Mexican artisans offered a wide variety of crafts, organic foods and drinks.

Items included Christmas decorations, jewelry, paintings, pottery, fabric creations, personal care, clothing, and many other gift worthy choices.

I enjoyed browsing amongst the quality handcrafted offerings; and, something was bought. A pleasant morning out and about.

Looks like a great time! As an avid crochet buff, craft shows are great inspiration for a hobbyist. The brunch looked delicious! Ah, biscuits and gravy. They are big in this area too. They are good for any meal. I made some with a curry sauce and pheasant. Take care Pleinguy! Sounds like you are having fun!
Crafts markets are pretty common in most towns out here.
