"After turning onto Park Boulevard in Joshua Tree, this tiny, one‑room museum catches my eye: it hosts hundreds of crocheted figures—from ocotillos and poodles to a full nativity scene and bright blue Smurfs. Owner Shari Elf tells me she started it in 2006 after a friend brought her glass bottles covered in crocheted poodles, and the pint‑sized space beside her store Art Queen radiates playful, eccentric desert‑art charm." - Syahirah Mazlan
