Does anyone know of a good website that you can order quality Mexican arts and crafts? I've been given the green light to use a Mexican theme in my home office. Arriba!

I'll look

Now there is a good niche for some one. I only have Bamboo salt and pepper shakers.:lol:

There are quite a few.

Try this one www.casabonampak.com. I just had several strings of papel picado made through them for an anniversary party. Great job, quick turn around, nice people.

I have some others bookmarked...which I'll post later.

Try eBay. What are you looking for? Maybe I could be your personal shopper.

I'll know it when I see it.

In other words, I have no idea what I want. It definitely has to be something other than the items in every tourist trap market in Mexico.

Muchas Gracias Elizabeth.

Rather than go all the way to Baja, why not just drive across the bridge? (by the way, how are they coming on the new bridge?)

El Chacalito
5102 S Washington St
Tacoma, WA 98409 - 2888
(253) 476-3274

Or if you want to take a ferry ride;

Milagros Mexican Folk Art
1530 Post Alley
Seattle, WA 98101 - 1565
(206) 464-0490

Finally, if you're really in a traveling mood;

Casa El Dorado Mexican Handcrafts & Tortillas
205 E Casino Rd Suite 12
Everett, WA 98208 - 2603
(425) 265-1186
