San Carlos has an ambulance service that runs strictly on donations and income derived from their thrift shop, Rescate Treasures. Yesterday there was a bazaar with a silent auction, food, art work and all sorts of treasures available for purchase.
Stained glass done by a local artist, and below, painted rocks, decorated coconuts and other goodies.
Mexican creations are always colorful as you can see in the first photo above, as well as the following.
I think it's mandatory that every visitor must purchase one of these colorful blankets, available in multiple styles and colors.
Baskets of all kinds, colors and designs are available from purse size to laundry basket size. And hats and hammocks, too!
The event was well-attended and the weather was great, as usual. The photo below was not yesterday's sunset, but one in the recent past. Sunsets here are an event and usually colorful.
Beautiful!! I love local art from Mexico! It's always so bright and colorful!
ReplyDeleteIt is - I just love it!
ReplyDeleteThe items at the bazaar looks really colorful..nice blog post!
ReplyDeleteI would have had a hard time resisting buying everything there. Love the stained glass things.
ReplyDeleteI love stained glass also - I tried it once, not as easy as I thought! I am good at resisting stuff - keep telling myself how small my RV is!
DeleteI loooooove open air markets! That's one of my favorite things about Mexico. Wish I could've been there. Although I probably would've spent all my quincena. Very Mexican! :) I hope the bazaar was profitable!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it and whatever they made will benefit the ambulance service in this little town.
ReplyDeleteAmazing this makes me really miss Mexico!
ReplyDeleteI have loved my time here and plan to come back next winter!
