Queridos Amigos-
We are in Mexico shopping and have lots of new things which we´ll be bringing and shipping back this week! Come in soon for the best selection of Day of the Dead figures, papel picado, sugar skull molds and more irresistible Mexican goodies such as vintage movie posters, antique photographs, whimsical collage boxes and mirrors, folk paintings from Guerrero, and new offerings from our favorite Oaxacan artisans! We have a stunning collection of ceramic muertos figures by Demetrio Aguilar which you will want to see!
SPECIAL TRUNK SHOW!
ONE DAY ONLY
Saturday, October 4
10am-7pm
We'll be starting off our celebration the first weekend of October with a very special visitor from Oaxaca, Brigitte Huet, creator of exquisite prehispanic-inspired sterling silver jewelry. Brigitte was trained in France in the lost wax technique and moved to Oaxaca 20 years ago where she has developed designs based on her interpretation of Mayan, Aztec, Zapotec, and Mixtec imagery. For one day only, you will have a chance to see and buy her wonderful pieces!
AND-- until they are gone--
