<div align="center"><strong>Bodega de Goni</strong><br/>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/fd/Flamenco_by_dimitrosw.jpg)</div><strong>Owner:</strong>Onneca de Goni<br/><strong>Operator:</strong>Onneca de Goni<br/><strong>Range of Quality:</strong>Average, Fine, Extraordinary<br/><strong>Description:</strong>A doily-laced and perfumed haven for the ladies of Gomorra is the Bodega de Goni, an adobe cottage with glass windows decorated in lace and bold curtains reminiscent of both Mexican and Hopi culture. A small garden runs the length of the front with wildflowers that can stand the bright sun that shines in through the front windows. The raised stone garden is interrupted only by a cozy rough grain door, and similar rough grain shutters protect the windows at night. The sides and back of the plain adobe structure have been painted by multicolored small handprints, the work of schoolchildren invited to the bodega each year to share Onneca's colorful dyes and express themselves on the mudbrick canvas.<br/><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td>A little bell jingles over the door when a customer steps into the clean but cluttered shop. The first shelves are crowded with heirloom vegetables and fruits, dried seeds, toiletries such as scented soaps and beeswax for luxurious lips and hair, beeswax candles, and interspersed knick knacks of Mexican origin, including a dollhouse that's seen considerable wear from local children, an item Onneca has thus far declined to part with.</td><td>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/00/Herboriste.jpg)</td></tr><tr><td>Beyond these shelves lie the bottles and jars containing linseed oil, mild herbal tinctures such as purple prairie clover for digestion, yarrow for pain relief, calendula oil to stop bleeding, and slender milk-vetch root to induce lactation. The prize of these shelves, however, are the honeys- the honey comes in jars of all sizes and in several distinct flavors, from the common wildflower honey to the more expensive citrusy orange blossom honey, sweet clover honey, and mild, smooth star thistle honey.</td><td>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/db/Harmony20.jpg)</td></tr><tr><td>Deeper still are the linens- towels, blankets, bedsheets, pillowcases, small rugs, drapes, and other common household items. Lower-budget clothing not specifically tailored for an individual are found on these racks, as well as spools of linen and wool, multicolored thread and ribbon, and sewing needles for local seamstresses. The clothes are largely for women, but there are select articles for men as well- often gifts for husbands or fathers. By far the most haphazard section of the bodega, the linens are often picked through and poorly sorted.</td><td>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/54/Bodega3edit.jpg)</td></tr><tr><td>The very rear of the bodega, shielded by a privacy screen, is a small sanctuary where fittings and measurements take place, away from prying eyes. This private area is also where Onneca shows her lovingly crafted pieces, light, flowing dresses which either did not meet a customer's desires or which were her own personal projects.</td><td>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/7a/Bodega1edit.jpg)</td></tr></tbody></table>
