May Noticias
¡Hola, Friends of Mexico Lindo! We're hoping that May will be sunny and merry after a dreary and difficult winter, and we'll be beginning with Cinco de Mayo, which will also be our 7th anniversary in the store. Jean-Pierre will be making mole Oaxaqueño for everyone that is free to drop by on Thursday the 5th between 4:00 and 7:00 pm. We know that weekdays are difficult for many, but hope that some of you can join us! We appreciate your steadfast patronage and friendship, and hope to mark the occasion with you.
With Mothers' Day following quickly after Cinco de Mayo on May 8th, we have some great gift ideas for you. Above, an Otomi runner embroidered with sunflowers, available in two widths, from $40-$80. Why not say it with sterling silver? Below left: a heavyweight spiral linked neclace and bracelet, $240 and $118. Center: Natural red coral beaded necklace with graduated spikes, $300. Right: another heavyweight handmade linked necklace and bracelet, $210 and $94.
How about some happening handbags and totes for hip moms? Some very springtime-ish choices, below, left: a handwoven hobo style bag from Oaxaca with tasseled drawstrings, $34. Center: Loteria tote bag in small and large, $22-30. Right: Oilcloth Messenger bag with adjustable straps, $38.
We have a glorious selection of spring and summer tops right now; a few examples: below left: ribboned
cream and pink embroidered blouse, $34. Center: turquoise blouse with stretch crocheted yolk, $24.
Right: multicolored fringed plaid shifts and lightweight cotton rebozos, $35 and $28.
We had already posted news and links to views and an appraisal of a unique tin antique Ex Voto collection that is available on our Facebook page, where we hope that you are already a Fan, but we are repeating it here for those who aren't FB users. The appraisal photos can be viewed here and the appraisers' comments and retail prices can be viewed here. If you would like to stop by to see the collection in person, please feel free to do that. Anyone with questions regarding purchases should contact Lisa. For those from out of state: as always, if you see something you want here, or have a question, just send us an email or call toll free to make arrangements!
¡Hasta la proxima vez...until next time!
