Taina T. (a member of the Navajo Dine' Tribe, residing in Northern Arizona - Census Number on File) has been with us from the very start! Her work is artfully crafted, her designs are very popular, and customers purchasing her items have sent us "glowing" remarks about her work! (Taina is expecting a new baby in November - near Thanksgiving - making this her third child!) - Update 11-19-02: It's a GIRL ! Taina T. gave birth to a baby girl Sunday, 11-17-02, weighing 6 pounds 5 ounces. Her name is Soma Lynn and Taina is home already and doing just fine! She now has three children! Her family is growing! - Congratulations Taina! - She never ceases to amaze us in her designing and handcrafting abilities! Very Sad Update January 2005 - Taina's Mom was driving and a car had stalled in front of her, and while swerving to avoid the other car, her car rolled, ejecting and killing Taina's Mom. She had NOT been wearing her Seat Belt. What a very sad thing to happen. Please everyone, ALWAYS Buckle Up! It is the LAW and it saves lives! And God Bless Taina ... her Mom was still raising three of Taina's Siblings. A sister 14, a brother 13 and another sister 12. Taina is taking steps to legally obtain custody of her siblings. We here at Arizona Indian Jewelry are deeply saddened by this, however, Taina will be working even more, making her wonderful items, and this year, she will be making some NEW items made of Magnetic Hematite Beads. We wish to express our sincerest condolences to Taina at this most difficult time in her life. And to wish her strength and guidance to extend her already large family to include her three siblings. Her house is now very full indeed, with six children! Thank You! ~ Taina ! (P.S. Taina is "camera shy", but we never quit asking her for permission to use her photo! . . . perhaps someday?) ~***~ FREE SHIPPING on orders Over $100 (after any discounts/coupons) applies to US orders only, see shipping for more details!
