Debbie was amazing. She explained where to go around the Plaza and where to eat and she told us a little about the history of Sante Fe. Her shop had the best items. We bought some postcards and a beautiful silver and turquoise bracelet. This place is a definite visit!!!!

Many flavorful pieces of art including some famous Ortega family wood carvings. This shop supports local artists. Debbie, the shop owner could not have been more friendly and kind. True Santa Fe spirit.. Be sure to stop in.

Debi is SO knowledgeable and kind- we wandered into her shop the first day of our visit and were so glad we did- she had great local gifts for our family and a ton of great recommendations for food, experiences and trips around Santa Fe! El Nicho was a pivotal piece to our fantastic getaway and we can’t wait to be back.

All local artists. Not the commercial type but very professional creations. Go here before or at least after all the pretentious galleries on and around the plaza. El Nicho is for the real collector before the collected moves to those other galleries.

Best store downtown. Unique, one of a kind pieces, crafted by local artists. Support local businesses! Also, the owner Debbie is one of the kindest, most helpful people I’ve ever met. Go say hi!

Ms D is very personable. She made the purchase of our craft item a memorable experience. We'll be back next time we're in Santee Fe

Debi went above and beyond to send me a special gift that I saw at her store when I was visiting Santa Fe. She clearly has a passion to support and promote the artisans in her community. Thank you so much!!!

Best place to find authentic, local art and gifts in all price ranges. Debi is the SWEETEST and most helpful lady in town. I detoured on my way home to Dallas from a two week road trip, three kids in town, and looking every bit the part. Normally when you walk into stores looking like this, you don't get the best treatment. Debi treated me as if I walked in with a million dollars to spend, which i appreciated greatly. I came in for a specific family of artist and she let me know (BEFORE I purchased from her) that they were actually in the square at the Spanish Market! Again, she did not have to tell me this, much less before i made a purchase from her! Additionally, she asked my kids all about their two week adventure and tested then as if they were mini adults. They, too, looked every bit the part of the second Saturday off a two week road trip through five states! She told my oldest daughter all about the artist that made the item she wanted to purchase, which made my fifteen years old excited to buy her first actual piece of art. Side note: I purchased a few things from her over the phone a few years ago, and she described what she had over the phone, then emailed me pictures to make sure I liked the pieces she picked out, then shipped them to me to Dallas. If you want great, personal customer service, local art, unique gifts, do yourself a favor and stop by here! Debi will inform you, guide you, and make you feel good about your purchase no matter how big or small!
