A few years ago, retired Navy Officer Kim Carr bought herself a nice piece of land in Indian Springs, Quemado, where she built a log cabin to match the New Mexico lifestyle she had long dreamed about. Fast-forward to today, and Kim is the proud owner of \u201cKim\u2019s Korner,\u201d Quemado\u2019s answer to the swanky boutiques of Santa Fe\u2014and one that\u2019s just as important to the local art community. Everything she sells is made by homegrown talent: from pottery to jewelry, to prints, paintings, postcards and more. There\u2019s woodwork by Bob Baker, a neighbor from Indian Springs, and every artist that has items in the store works there four to five days a month.<\/p>\n
So the next time you\u2019re tooling down the 60 in southwestern New Mexico trying to get from Point A to Point B, make it a point to take a breather in downtown Quemado (don\u2019t blink or you\u2019ll miss it) and stop in and say \u201chey\u201d to Kim. She\u2019s right next door to the Spurs & Skirts Hair Salon (just in case you need a trim) and she\u2019s open Wednesday through Saturday 10 \u2013 4, and 12 \u2013 5 on Sundays.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the unexpected pleasure of finding unexpected treasures.<\/p>\n\n
