Marcia's Minute 

We have just unpacked most of our last shipment and I want to shareMarcia Lucas with you how delighted Charlie and I were to stumble across some very fine pieces in Acatlan, Puebla; made by the family of the late Master Folk Artist Heron Martinez, his [also now deceased] niece and nephew. It has been a good while since we stopped there and even longer since we purchased anything of note in Acatlan. Come in and look around! SPRING is here!

All in all we had an exceptional January February buying trip purchasing gorgeous clothing, great folk art finds, beautiful sterling silver from Taxco and guided an amazing group of travelers to some of our favorite places in Oaxaca. If you are interested in traveling with us get on our List to be Notified first!

In addition to the many new arrivals we show in this month's issue, we also have stocked up for upcoming spring festivities, and that includes new papel picado (both for general celebrations and for weddings) and a new assortment of paper flowers--always an easy way to brighten up and add color to any party.

Stop in soon--you will love all of the good things to see!

Saludos,
Marcia Lucas
Owner

Photos from Oaxaca Tour

OaxacaOur tour last January to Oaxaca, Mexico, was a success! It included walking the markets, touring the ruins, visiting master folk artists, and listening to music on the zocalo at night. It was absolutely memorable.

We all had an wonderful time, so we thought we'd share some of our photos from this incredible place.

Tehuantepec Huipile PillowsTehuantepec Huipile Pillows

I wanted to show everyone these incredible pillows that someone in Mexico made out of old Tehuantepec huipiles.

When we went to Oaxaca in January, we stayed at the Casa de mis Recuerdos, and they had this lovely little sitting area, as shown. I was totally blown away by the pillows that were made from Tehuantepec huipiles! They are so vibrant and beautiful! I have seen some beautiful pillows made from Guatemalan huipiles (we even have some at the store), but I loved this idea of using the Tehuantepec huipiles as well, so I wanted to be sure to show you all this absolutely stunning idea!
