every time you go to mexico you have to come back with some kind of treasure...it is just necessary. it is always one of my favorite things about visiting a place. bringing treasure back home and weaving them into my life always make the trip last forever.
what i love about mexican art and crafts are the vibrant colors and the designs. every time i go there are 3 things that need to be bought. 1) a mexican blanket for the mister...2) some type of embroidered textile for me and 3) a cross and we accomplished these things this trip! here is what we took back to our little casa...
this was my last purchase which happened to me at the cancun airport...i am a huge fan of the dia de los muertos art and just had to have them!
hope you all have a great weekend!! i have a very exciting weekend....a visit from my nephew and sister in law, our park is having a dia de los muertos art exhibit inside the mansion, pumpkin carving and craft making! lots and lots to share with you all next week!
i always love october!
xoxoxo,

What amazing finds - they're all gorgeous (es love the blanket)! Hubby and I really want to go to Mexico and you're just encouraging me to try to get there sooner! I esp love day of the dead scally-wags so super cute earrings :)
ReplyDeleteYour weekend sounds perfect, hope you enjoy every minute of it, can't wait to see/hear all about it. xx
i love october tambien! i'm so glad you brought back treasures with you. i miss mexico, my family has a house out there in mazatlan, sinaloa where they're from and it's beautiful. gorgeous beaches, lots of touristy action and fun. i haven't been back there in 5 years and i can tell cause my spanish is getting weak. have fun this weekend, and let's plan for the sf tweed ride next sunday? have a good weekend sweets!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great bag!! I also love blankets from Mexico, they're so tough and rugged, mine has lasted through 15 years of different usses and still looks new.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pieces!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my blog, mostly because it lead me to your lovely blog, so many cute things! I love that bag especially!
ReplyDeleteI love those earrings, so cool! :)
ReplyDeleteAhh we have almost matching sugar skull earrings, and I have a similar-but-mini version of that purse too! ;) I love that blanket as well! One of the first times my family went to Baja, my mom bought a blanket from a guy near our campsite for like $20, and when we went into town, they were selling them for $5! Doh! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your purse! So colorful and pretty! Everything here are great buys!
