nichos!

It has to be said - I had too much fun making these nichos. Playing with colour, flowers pom poms, cacti, skulls and Fridas - what's not to like?!

Now available at My Mexican Donkey Pop up Shop at Gleaners Inc in Brunswick (although a couple didn't make it that far and got sold en route!)

My Mexican Shirt and My Mexican Maracas!

Have you ever felt the urge to be Carmen Miranda but couldn't find your maracas? 

Have you ever wanted to break into song and "go to Rio" but just had nothing to shake? 

Have you ever wanted to join in with band but felt a bit lame just clapping? 

Have you ever wanted to add a little bit of zing to your conga line?

 

Well I know I have. And here's the solution!

Introducing the portable, wearable mini maracas! Yes! They ARE real maracas - they can shake with the best of them! And yes, they ARE a brooch. Have your maracas at the  ready and always at hand! Available at My Mexican Donkey Pop Up Shop at Gleaners Inc

I've teamed mine with my little vintage Mexicali shirt. 

It's label is "Gayette" and it certainly is that!

Now....if only I could find a conga line....

My Mexican Donkey Pop Up Shop!

There's a distinct Mexicali mood round these parts! We have the My Mexican Donkey Pop up shop happening at Gleaners Inc in Brunswick all this month - you can find some gorgeous hand made Mexican items such as these:

You will find papel picado banners which are perfect for any feista, intricate hand painted ceramic candle sticks, milagro medals and mini sombrero brooches! 

Guests at the fiesta are some of our local designer who make Mexican themed goodies such as Betty Jo Design's sugar skull brooches and CLOCKS (too cool!), the sister outlaws' re-sew-cool sugar skull kits  and garlands (that's us), Curly Pops sugar skull cards and the beautifully made Frida dolls by A Little Vintage.
Isn't is just a treasure trove of colour? So get your flowers in your hair and swish your skirts into Gleaners and get your Christmas shopping!You'll find Lovely Liz who is the best shop girl in town. She may even be wearing this....
