Cozy up and relax with our Lavender Bath Salts 

As the holidays come to a close, we’re embracing the quiet that comes with the winter season. It is time to slow down and create moments to rest and recover. A warm, relaxing bath is one of our favorite ways to luxuriate, find a sense of calm and recharge.

Gustave Baumann’s whimsical holiday tradition

woodblock print

Of the many New Mexican artists who worked on Los Poblanos Ranch and La Quinta in the 1930s, Gustave Baumann was certainly one of the most esteemed. The beautifully carved wood doors and fireplace mantle at La Quinta are the work of a master at the top of his game. What is perhaps less well known about Baumann, however, is that he had a wonderful sense of humor. And nowhere was this more apparent than in Baumann's annual holiday card tradition.

A Century of Healthfulness

John Gaw Meem's Journey to the Southwest

It was the spring of 1920 when 25-year old John Gaw Meem IV headed west from New York City. His destination: the Sunmount Sanatorium in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Like many others in the early 20th century, Meem had contracted tuberculosis and been advised by his doctors to recover at a sanatorium in the arid southwest. In a moment of serendipity shortly thereafter, Meem noticed a poster for the Santa Fe Railway and decided on the spot to move to New Mexico for his recovery.
