*************************
This piece is from the collection of "Ramblin' Rose" Rose Anne Hensley, my mother. This is her story:

From society girl and "First Maid" in the Strawberry Festival in Humboldt, Tennessee, in 1949 she eloped at age 17 and — much to her chagrin and disappointment— began a hard new life in Lamy, New Mexico. Her husband was a cattle trader (some say, rustler) and sometimes Santa Fe Railroad employee. Later, her time living in Shiprock, NM, brought her in contact with trading posts and pawn shops and she began her collection of unique Native American jewelry. She also began collecting antique jewelry and other vintage items.

An incredibly talented professional honkey-tonk piano player, she entertained thousands at nightclubs, dinner theaters, and pizza parlours; and was featured at the Banjo Spectacular in San Francisco in the 1960s.

She became a local expert on vintage beads and began designing her own creations from imported and antique beads; and her necklaces, bracelets and earrings were carried in galleries in New Mexico and Japan.

Her collections are timeless.
