Recently, Naja employee Carolyn Plummer went to her hometown, Big Horn, Montana for a trunk show during Little Bighorn Days. The event takes place over four days and consists of festivities that celebrate the sights and sounds of the past, with legends that surround it woven into various events. There are reenactments of the past and attendees are encouraged to attend the Grand Ball of 1876, dance lessons are even provided the night before! Local quilters display their work in the local library and art exhibits are held in the local Jail House as well as the Historic Train Depot.
During this weekend long event Carolyn’s jewelry was featured in the first ever trunk show hosted in the gift shop of the Big Horn County Historical Museum! Her work was featured Friday through Sunday from 9 AM to 6 PM. The gift shop of the museum normally hosts a wide range of high quality jewelry pieces made by local Western artisans, which Carolyn’s work will now accompany on an ongoing basis due to the success of her show. She had on display, and for sale, over 100 handmade pieces that she has fabricated over the years, the majority of which were her Montana Agate collection. The Montana Agate used in her jewelry was accumulated on her uncle’s property years before and she has been getting it cut and using it ever since. The stones she has had cut are set in various jewelry pieces including necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and belts. All of the beautiful pieces are incredibly unique with a Western feeling. When talking to Carolyn it was obvious she had a great time going back to her home town and letting everyone see the amazing things she has been creating and from the turnout it seemed like everyone in Bighorn loved having her back!
