Super Belated Birthday!!

Here was Jim, Evita, Eva and Elodies birthday. With a larger than life cream cake with a marzipan topping and fruit filling. Wow! It was awsome!! Of course the flaming candels pretty much took it...the cake that is!

Evita starts Ballet

Who can resist 4 year old ballerinas? They are sooooo cute! This is Evita's new dance class. They have a lovely teacher and lots of enthusiasm. We go once a week and it is definitely the best deal in town. Yeah!

Shopping in Tlaquepaque....

OK, so we have been back for a while now!! Sorry for the tardy blogging. I have started school here in Oslo and it kind of got me out of my game for a bit....so let me get back on track....
We had a great shopping trip in Tlaquepaque. (and we Shopped with a Mexican Queen too, other wise known as Diana Patino our general manager, doesn't she look great!!) We were also lucky enough to have with us my Mom who flew down from Tennessee and Mariana Sales the manager of Eden while we are here in Norway. Who could ask for a better group!?

Our motto for the trip was "out with the old, in with the new" we jettisoned some of our old maybe a little bit tired lines and were excited to find some new and exciting things. A beautiful line of leather bracelets, a new funky line of coin purses made out of hot pink and gold vinyl. (yes very cool) and some lovely new wrought iron, and painted tin (see last photo). Also some of our mainstays have added new and fun designs. Yay! I felt like the market was better than ever. More people better organized and generally well put together.

On the last day, My mom and i went back to Mexico city were we shopped at the local markets and Mariana and Diana went on to Tonala and found even more beautiful additions.

The orders started coming in last week, so if you are in Zihua come on in and see what we have that is fresh and Fruity Keiko!
