Mexican Treasures

Thought I would share with you my treasures that I bought at Telaqepaque on Saturday.  I didn't bring many things for decorating with me so when I saw these I knew they would brighten up our home and I liked the Mexican feel.  Isn't the tortilla basket quite cute?  I haven't used it yet but supposedly you just warm up the tortillas and put them in the basket and they stay warm. The inside of it is styrofoam. I liked the painting on top of it and since I love bright colors the chilies quickly caught my attention. Both of these brighten up my kitchen quite well.  And yes I'm a sucker for Nativity Scenes.  Isn't this one darling?  Check out the halos on the angels heads on the left.  I know, I know, it's not Christmas but I can still enjoy it now.  Not only does it make me think of Christ and his birth but it also makes me think of our Grandson Wyatt.  This Christmas when my Nativity scene was out on the table he played and played with it acting out stories with the characters.  I can't wait for him to see this one.
It's raining in Quadalajara and a bit chilly.  God so knows what we need and when we need it.  This bit of quite, breather has been super great after the whirlwind and before the beginning of language on Monday.  It's been nice to get some things organized and to soak in our new home and God's blessings. Until next time....

Cute, cute, cute!

I used to have a tortilla warmer (until my cats decided chewing up styrofoam was great fun) and it was great, but not so cute as yours. I also used it when I made waffles and pancakes and wanted them to stay warm until the whole batch was done. I would line it with paper towels so they wouldn't get too steamy.
