I was born and raised in Phoenix, Az my grandmother used to take us up on the 1st or 2nd (memory is a bit hazy) Mesa and bring household goods to her friends. As soon as I could drive a friend and I decided to start buying Native American jewelry and then turn it around and sell it to our parents and their friends. It was what we called our summer job. After this beginning I went to college and eventually moved away and then life got in the way, 40 years later I now find myself wanting to get back into buying and possibly selling Native American jewelry.
