There’s an ease that settles over Northern New Mexico as the season turns cooler…the kind that pulls us indoors a little earlier, toward the people and rituals we love most. Evenings become slower and more intimate: a pot simmering on the stove, friends gathered around the table, the unique contentment of being at home with the ones who matter. It’s a season for hosting with homemade dishes spiced with TLC and for conversation that rambles on long after the table is cleared.
As we prepare for those evenings, there’s often a small, happy temptation — to add a little polish, a dash of newness, to the familiar. A fresh piece of jewelry to catch the candlelight. A stylish new layer for the days that call for both comfort and a bit of flair. Linens soft enough to make Sunday morning last a little longer. This installment of SOURCE leans into that spirit with pieces meant to feather the nest and the wardrobe just enough to make the ordinary feel a little more special. And as always, we shop local. Every piece here was made or curated by someone in our community, which means shopping for it does double duty: it dresses up your life and it keeps our neighborhood shops thriving. Head out and meet the folks whose work is designed to delight you.
Shop Local, Settle In: This Week’s Cozy SOURCE Picks from New Mexico Shops and Makers
Spirit of the Earth
The Hollis Oversized Shirt in regatta stripe by Emma Rothkopf is a masterclass in all-season style without sacrificing an ounce of comfort. It has a relaxed fit, generous patch pockets, a rounded collar, and corozo nut buttons — the kind of piece you’ll reach for again and again.
Las Cosas Kitchen Shoppe
The Brio Enameled Measuring Spoon Set by Danica proves practical can still be pretty. Decorated with block-print patterns and a matte gold finish, it brings a welcome pop of color to your kitchen — just be sure to hand wash.
Catori Life
Deck your digits with the Cleo Lapis ring on the right ring finger, the Innana Lapis ring on the middle finger, and the Amara Diamond ring nestled between two Eros stack rings — one diamond, one sapphire. On the left hand, add the Cosmos emerald ring and the Orion’s Belt ring, then finish the look with a stack of Bone Cuffs whose organic curves hug the wrist.
Pandora’s
Libeco linen is woven in Belgium under the careful eye of the fifth-generation Libeert family. That attention shows in every piece — like this indigo stripe coverlet — which doesn’t just look beautiful now, but grows more elegant with age, adding comfort to your bedroom for years to come.
Homefrocks
The Lined Voyager Coat is a versatile piece to add to your clothing collection. This raglan sleeve crinkle cotton coat features raw edge lapels, side seam pockets, and corozo nut buttons. It lends itself to layering to suit the season and promises to become a wardrobe staple.
