Santa Fe: Awesome in Autumn - About.com
There's great stuff to buy in Santa Fe. From Navajo artisans: geometric "eyedazzler" rugs and bold sterling-and-turquoise jewelry. Pueblo pottery in red, white, or jet-black clay. Mesmerizing New Mexico landscape paintings from scores of galleries (this is the USA's third-biggest art market, after NYC and LA).
