Support Animal Humane New Mexico while stuffing your stockings. Re:tail is more thrifty than vintage, but there are always great pieces on the shelves—especially when it comes to fine china. All the proceeds benefit Animal Humane New Mexico, and you can take a shopping break with the adoptable cats hanging around.
