#canitellyou you must forge your own path for it to mean anything. Entering @cosanti_originals in Paradise Valley was like walking into a Star Wars film set. This fantastical space was masterminded by Paolo Soleri, an Italian-American architect who trained under Frank Lloyd Wright. Soleri broke out on his own and experimented with his “earth-casting” technique in the 1950s to create these highly imaginative structures found at Cosanti. Aside from architecture, Soleri also produced wind bells and vessels handmade from Arizona clay. A large assortment of products are still being produced on the premises using the same time-honored techniques by skilled artisans. It is definitely worth a visit if you’re in town. / 🤗🛕🏜️ . . . #paolosoleriarcosanti #paolosoleriarchitecture #cosantioriginals #cosantifoundation #cosantiarizona #rafetotengco #iconicarchitecture #scottsdalearizona #starwarsfilmset #rafetravelstoarizona #paradisevalleyaz (at Cosanti) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnZoSthuuVK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#canitellyou I may have found my dream weaver. Ever since I can remember, I have always admired Navajo handwoven rugs; each piece is one-of-a-kind and filled with symbolism. Seeing the plethora of choices at @garlandsrugs had me somewhat paralyzed because I wanted so many of them. I may have to come back for a second look. / 😍🧡❤️ . . . #navajorugs #antiquenavajorugs #garlandsnavajorugs #iminmyelement #thechoicesareendless #lovenavajorugs #rafetotengco #rafetravelstoarizona (at Garland's) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmwV6UfLuwD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#canitellyou leave the road, follow the trails. Another bucket list checked. I’m so thrilled we finally made it to Sedona to see the red canyons. Knowing that this entire area was at the bottom of the sea 330 million years ago is just mind blowing. Absolutely breathtaking landscapes worth getting up at the crack of dawn for. / 😉🥾🏞️ . . . #leavetheroadtakethetrails #coconinonationalforest #redrockssedona #boyntontrail #rafetotengco #rafetravelstoarizona #redwalllimestone #sedonaarizona (at Cococino National Forest--Sedona, Arizonia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmsXcBIpbKm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
