I remember it now ! I've seen such shops when I was in the US in 78... !!!
There were some in the Navajo Indian Reservation. They have has very lovelyturquoise jewels by the way. Thanks for sharing this Steve.

@Florence: Yes, the Navajo are rightly famous for that wonderful jewelry. The Pueblos near Santa Fe, New Mexico produce the most exquisite pottery, also.
