Bazaar - Rescate Benefit in San Carlos, Mexico


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.

    1. I 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!

  4. I 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!
