Do you like to go treasure hunting in obvious or out of the way places? Do you like to view fine art in galleries large and small? This book will give you directions to New Mexico's amazing New Deal treasures and to buildings and bridges, murals and sculptures, paintings and people who made them. They are not necessarily in the most obvious places, and yet many are in places that one routinely visits. They have been patiently waiting in our cities, our villages, our parks, rarely witnessed as being "treasures." They were constructed perhaps even by your own artistic ancestors. This book is full of clues. Go sleuthing Growing up in Portales, New Mexico, Kathryn Akers Flynn lived in an area with a New Deal courthouse, a New Deal post office, and New Deal schools. She worked at the local swimming pool and partied in the city park, both built during the Depression era. In high school she was a cheerleader on 1930s football fields for onlookers in Work Progress Administration bleachers and camped out at a nearby Civilian Conservation Corps created park and lake. She never knew any of these structures were fashioned by the New Deal, nor did she notice the New Deal treasures in Salt Lake City while at the University of Utah where she received her Bachelor's Degree or the New Deal structures in Carbondale, Illinois where she earned her Master's Degree at Southern Illinois University. Returning to New Mexico, she had a career in the state health and mental health administration that included directorship of Carrie Tingley Hospital, a New Deal facility with many public art treasures. It wasn't until she became Deputy Secretary of State of New Mexico that she realized what was around her. As a result she went on to edit three editions of the "New Mexico Blue Book" featuring information about New Deal creations all over the state. This book presents the history and whereabouts of many such treasures found since compiling an earlier book, "Treasures on New Mexico Trails," and another that focuses on New Deal programs nationwide, "The New Deal: A 75th Anniversary Celebration." She also assisted with the compilation of "A More Abundant Life, New Deal Artists and Public Art in New Mexico" by Jacqueline Hoefer, also from Sunstone Press and an apt companion for "Public Art and Architecture in New Mexico." She was instrumental in creating the National New Deal Preservation Association, and now serves as Executive Director.

Clean, lint -free rounds that hold together.
Size: 300 Count
I have purchased these organic cotton rounds at least twice now and they are easy, inexpensive, clean and great for a ton of uses, but especially for cleaning around the eyes without leaving any lint in my eyelashes. When you wet them, they do not fall apart, but are still soft. I highly recommend them.

Say goodbye to pesky bites!
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 12)
I recently tried the Mosquito Bracelets, and they have become a must-have for any outdoor adventure. Here’s why I highly recommend these DEET-free, natural, and waterproof bands: These bracelets are impressively effective at keeping mosquitoes at bay. Whether I’m hiking, camping, or just relaxing in my backyard, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in mosquito bites. The natural ingredients used in these bracelets provide a strong and pleasant scent that mosquitoes seem to hate, making them a reliable option for outdoor protection. One of the standout features is that these bracelets are DEET-free, making them safe for everyone, including children and those with sensitive skin. They are made with natural ingredients, which gives me peace of mind knowing that I’m not exposing myself or my family to harsh chemicals. The waterproof feature is a game-changer. I can wear these bracelets while swimming, sweating, or during rainy weather without losing their effectiveness. This durability ensures that I stay protected in various conditions, making them perfect for summer activities and trips to the beach or pool. Each bracelet is individually wrapped, which is incredibly convenient. I can easily toss a few in my bag, car, or camping gear without worrying about them losing potency. The individual packaging also makes them perfect for sharing with friends and family during outings. The bracelets are soft, flexible, and comfortable to wear. They are adjustable to fit any wrist size, which is great for both adults and kids. I’ve worn them for hours without any discomfort, and they don’t irritate my skin. I was pleasantly surprised by the longevity of these bracelets. Each band provides up to 72 hours of protection, which is fantastic for extended outdoor activities. This long-lasting feature means fewer replacements and more continuous protection. Considering the effectiveness, natural ingredients, and convenience, these mosquito bracelets offer excellent value for money. The 12-pack ensures I have enough to last through multiple outdoor adventures or to share with others. In summary, the Mosquito Bracelets are a fantastic solution for anyone looking to stay protected from mosquito bites naturally and comfortably. Their effective repellent properties, DEET-free composition, waterproof design, convenience, comfort, long-lasting protection, and great value make them a top choice. I highly recommend these bracelets for their overall quality and performance.

Worth a try
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 12)
Not perfect protection, but fewer mosquitos in the past two weeks. I use them in my study where I'm most likely to sit still -- one down low on my desk chair (reduces ankle bites), one on a door knob, one on a corner of my desk. I don't wear them often because I find them uncomfortable. Can't report yet how long they last. Odor is not overwhelming or unpleasant.
