Buying Trip, Yeee Ha!

Last week my Mom was here and we went on a shop buying trip. It was great. We found lot of new things. In the photo we are at a candel factory that is simply amazing! No scented candels here! Some of them you might be able to make out in the back ground are massive, 6 and 8 wicks and need a dolly to move them around. We didn´t get any of those but others that were just as cool.

Esperanza has a nose for findning those imposible to find work shops of obscure artists. Many of them are represented by wholesalers who want to keep thier where abouts secret so that they can charge one arm and one leg to the rest of us. Consequently we make it our business to root them out! She has embarked on another trip to the south of Mexico for more of the same. She is hoping to get as far as Merida which is known to have the best hats in Mexico and also some of the most famous suppliers of the typical Mexican Guyabera, or typical shirt for men, with the pockets and embroidery on the front.

We have two more trips planned before the hotel opens. Fun Fun Fun!
