If you come down with the overwhelming urge to move to New Mexico -- as I predictably do, midway through a dish of enchiladas with green chiles at El Patio -- you will be spending a lot of time at Hobby Lobby. There is not a single dollhouse shop in Albuquerque (the lone phonebook listing is a misplacement of a seller of collectible dolls), and we saw no sign of one in Santa Fe. My one truly outstanding stop-the-presses, whip-out-the-checkbook find was perfectly 1:12 versions of traditional Acoma pottery at Blackstone of New Mexico in Old Town Albuquerque. As of August 2005, these are priced at a reasonable $15 each.Old Town Albuquerque is chock-a-block with gift shops, so a changing selection may yield other finds to other shoppers. There seems to be a mild trend toward putting 1:12 and 1:24 clay mugs and dishes on strings, as if they were ristas. If you want to build a Southwestern restaurant, this gives you bargain pricing on the tableware. As things currently stand, Aceves Old Town Basket and Rug Shop has the most promising selection, including incense burners shaped like traditional ovens.Heading north on I-25, we stopped at Traditions, a failing festival marketplace. (Don't believe the Web site -- most of the listed stores are gone.) The magnets at Holiday Expressions included fruit crates and cutting boards sized very nicely for 1:12. We got a crate of avocados and a cutting board that included a nopale (cactus paddle). I suspect these are made of bread dough, so they will eventually fade and crumble, but the low price and high cuteness quotient made them a must-have.In suburban Santa Fe, Jackalope still carries a small selection of dollhouse-sized plates and accessories, though nowhere near the selection we found there in 1999. Only the Santa Fe store had extensive goodies; the Bernalillo location was less well-stocked across the board.Unsurprisingly, New Mexico is awash in bead stores that sell fetishes and such. Being a bit overstocked in this area, I did no buying other than an oversized parrot at Stone Mountain Bead Gallery on Central Avenue in Albuquerque.
