You already know I had to pull over! From the moment I walked into Bowlin's Aleka Flats, the staff greeted me with genuine warmth. The store itself is such a fun place to browse--filled with unique Southwestern treasures like shirts, ponchos, serapes, moccasins, souvenirs, and so much more. Even if you only come for the cookies, you'll probably end up wandering the aisles for a bit. Speaking of cookies... I could see the staff constantly rotating fresh batches, so I knew they weren't sitting around getting stale. I also appreciated that they offered options with and without nuts. We ended up grabbing a dozen because, let's be honest, the price made it an easy decision. Individual cookies are just $0.99 each, but a dozen is only $9. We picked up six original chocolate chip, three sugar pecan, and three chocolate chip pecan cookies. One thing that stood out was watching the employee preparing the cookies while wearing gloves. It's a small detail, but it shows they take pride in food handling and cleanliness, and I always notice those things. The staff was incredibly friendly and even thanked me for stopping by... even though cookies were literally the only reason I came in. And yes, I'm on a road trip, so don't judge me! My kiddos thanked me the second they took their first bite, and that was all the confirmation I needed. These cookies were soft, chewy, fresh, and absolutely worth the stop. If you're driving through, do yourself a favor and pull over. Grab a dozen--you'll thank yourself later. I'll definitely be making this one of my regular road-trip cookie stops!

I looked at a BHG hummingbird earrings but I didn't want to spend over $200. I did buy the tiniest BHG earrings, an Indian design ring, a copper hoop earrings and a bundle of sage. The white buffalo jewelry looked nice but the pieces were larger than I'd like. 3+ hours more til we reach Tucson. Let's get on the road again.

The very best part of my visit was being helped by the young lady behind the desk. She asked if…read morethere was anything special I was after. Yes, geodes cut and polished, as specimens for display. In the front room she had several small geodes on display. Then she took me into the next room where dozens more were on display, labeled and beautiful. She helped me find just what I was after. (see pictures) While I looked at the display cases she offered to open several boxes in back but I found everything in the cases. At some point her husband came in to also help us. Both of the couple were very helpful and friendly, totally refreshing and welcome help. Trina's has a large selection, really large, of everything rocks. The small front room has some finished items and supplies. Then the next room, very large, has display cases for specimens on one wall. On the other wall is a work area with equipment to process rocks. And in the middle are smaller rough rocks of all types in separate open boxes, sized, graded, and ready for crafting. In the back is a large supply of rocks in boxes not yet on display. Outside is a large selection of larger specimens for crafting. The shop is easy to find with plenty of parking out front. I would recommend a visit to Trina's Rock Shop if you find yourself stopping overnight or just driving through Deming. We really enjoyed our visit and found several excellent specimens to take home.

I cant say enough good things about this place. After visiting quite a few…read more jewelry shops in the plaza this is certainly the best one. Hands down. First off these folks are jewelry makers. They don't just buy stuff and stock it in the store. I saw one customer picking up a belt that had been repaired and another who'd purchased jewelry but needed it to be adjusted. The guy kept taking it to the back and working on it and bringing it back to her until it fit as she like. I also was interested a bracelet that I couldn't fit and somehow he was able to heat and bend it into a shape so that I could. There was only one person working that day, the owners husband. He was so patient and made suggestions based on what he thought I would like and not just the highest priced item in the store. Also he knows how to back off and let you browse on your own but is always near if you have questions or need help. They also can do orders via phone by video chat or sending you photos of the items and will ship.
