Comment by Joanna 'Aya' Soto-Avilés on December 4, 2008 at 9:03pm: Thank you for the invitation, Ray. My family and I would love to be able to physically attend the NMAI Art Market in New York this year but we cannot make the trip to New York from Boriké (aka Puerto Rico) at this time. However, we will be with you all in Spirit and we send you our Love, Blessings and Good Wishes. We know that your beautiful jewelry, crafts and works of art will be as wonderful as always.
