There's a little display of dreamcatchers for sale in the Roadrunner Gift Shop on dear ol' Gail Street. I just drew and colored 'em in my Paint App, cut 'em out, glued 'em to the wall.
Outside the original Native American settings, dreamcatchers have been popular gift/novelty items in the Southwest for decades. In the 1980s, I recall that they found their way into "mainstream" American culture and commerce. I have a friend who tells me that he has recently seen them for sale in a London (UK) gift shop, with little legend cards attached which explain that these are "traditional American Wild West" decor. Gah.
