| How We Got Started: Irma is very artistic and has utilized her considerable talents in craftwork for home decorating and gifts. One year she decided on strings and wreaths of dried natural red chile and garlic mingled with yucca pods, devil's claw, cholla ribs, eucalyptus, seed pods and basically any natural ornament that caught her eye in the desert. Jorge was impressed with Irma's artistry and ever the salesman, he proposed she make a few extra for sale to neighbors and friends. By the following year, Irma had put Jorge to work helping her decorate. Jorge and Irma have now been in business since 1994. | |
