of her home-décor shop, Evoke the Spirit, in Sayulita, Mexico, former New Yorker Brittney Borjeson, 35, has shifted inland to open an outpost in the city of San Miguel de Allende. The new, multiroom space is stocked with Mexicanmade goods such as glass-bead necklaces and cattle skulls of Borjeson’s design adorned with colorful yarn paintings produced by members of the Huichol tribe. Applied to either ceramic or real dried and bleached cattle skulls, the yarn designs can take up to three days to produce by hand. One of the master artists, who is also a practicing shaman, will be at the shop some days to educate visitors on the cultural meanings behind the artwork. A double eagle design, for example, represents the idea of having two heads: one in the material world and one in the spiritual universe. All the pieces that Borjeson commissions are first blessed by the artisans. “My favorite thing about collaborating with the Huichol is that everything they make vibrates with such life,” says Borjeson. evokethespirit.com. —Sara Lieberman
