Lotería, Milagros,Talavera,Vela

This is the excellent stuff I brought back from San Antonio. My host rosenbeans and I love lotería -- her lucky lotería card is La Chalupa (the boat) and mine is El Nopal (the cactus). We were on a mission to find this new set designed by San Antonio artist Cristina Sosa Noriega. We drove to an H-E-B Plus superstore way on the other side of town to score these. While we were there, I got the Virgin of Guadalupe candle. You can read the story about bringing the candle back to Massachusetts here. The milagros and talavera tiles came from a very nice vendor at Bussey's Flea Market.
