talavera!

Over the weekend I went to the warehouse sale at Mayan Dreams here in CT.  They import Talavera & other Mexican pottery, glassware & tin items.  The merchandise is sold  through garden centers and catalogs like the National Geographic.  A few times a year the owner , Gregg has a warehouse sale!
( now we won't have to pay the admission fee to the CT Flower show to get more!)

I have been bringing home a few pieces from every trip to Mexico for awhile, but this way I can get some bigger pieces that wouldn't fit in my suitcase!
before I went I asked Alan how it would be if I brought home a Talavera sink--he nixed that idea & I didn't think there would be any anyway.  Lo & behold almost the 1st thing I saw was a sink!
This is a photo of some of what I got--I bought the tin ornament of the luchador for Alan!

Macro Monday -- late bloomer

 I bought this hibiscus plant earlier in the summer-- really wanted one since they remind me so much of Mexico.  I will be bringing it inside soon & hoping it over winters OK.  It's still blooming quite a bit & I hope it keeps up!  I know this doesn't look like the same flower ( the color looks different)  but it is....must be the lighting!
