Upcoming Events

Neighborhood Block Party
Saturday, April 5th
3:00 - 7:00pm

Join us for a neighborhood block party! Music, dancing, kid's activities, food, fun and more!

Come down on Saturday, April 5th, and park on the side streets. Then take a walk around our little neighborhood. There will be a fish fry, music, and entertainment for the whole family, so join us for the festivities!

Marcia's Minute

We have just celebrated the Spring Equinox, so Spring is officially here! Marcia Lucas, owner
Some of the fruits of our winter buying trip are about to hit the store and we invite you to come check out our latest shipment of Dunes, our bright Mexican cotton clothing by designer Diana Martin and our new CMC Click clothing.

Our fantastic new Guatemalan fashions, textiles and folk art are about to hit the door--any day, or hour now--as well as our latest shipment of handsome hand-sewn Guayaberas, so keep checking in!

We are also very excited about the upcoming block party on Saturday, April 5th. The newest additions to the neighborhood (Galaxy Cafe, Zocolo, and Cafe Medici) have really contributed a lot to make this event a really fun one for everyone. We really hope you will be able to join us for the event!

We had a packed house for our event on March 6th for the preview of George O. Jackson's "El Cuerpo Adornado". His show is currently running at the San Antonio Museum of Art, so if you did not have a chance to see the preview here, take a trip down to San Antonio to check out his show running through May 25th.

With so much going on (lots of new shipments, an upcoming block party, and more), we hope to see you in here sometime soon!

Saludos,
Marcia Lucas
Owner

March Spotlight: Tehuantepec Huipiles
Tehuantepec Huipiles

The Tehuantepec huipiles, or blouses, worn by the Tehuana women in Mexico are legendary. Made popular in the United States by Frida Kahlo, these brightly colored blouses are hand-embroidered works of art that are quickly becoming collectors' items.
