Joyería

  • Post author:

One of our private giggles when traveling to Spanish speaking countries is spotting the joyerías. It looks like there are all these shops selling joy. What a great idea!

Actually, they’re selling jewelry, which is also a pretty good idea. And this weekend, you don’t have to stray much more than a half of a block from the famous Rancho Brava taco truck to find a great, impromptu joyeria. Silversmith Sacha Nanay has been visiting Wallingford from Taxco, Guerrerro, Mexico (a famous colonial era silver town) for the past month or so, and she’ll be selling her work from the home of her host, known Wallingford terror Lynn Freeman on Saturday, September 12th from 11 am – 4 pm at 4529 Thackery Pl NE.

She has an album of her work on-line.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.
