Minimum 3 dozen per style PLUM01 - Paper Bag Luminarias - $9.00 set of six Hand cut paper applique on white paper bag. Assorted designs and colors in each set. For orders of 100 or more, we can do custom colors and designs. Write us for details. These are popular for other occasions such as garden cocktail parties, wedding decorations and other festive celebrations. Instructions: 1. Open each bag to its fullest. Smooth out creases so it stays open. 2. Add 2 inches of sand or fine pebbles in the bottom. (City slickers sometimes prefer cat litter or rice). 3. Use a glass votive candle, a tea candle or solar candle. (Tea candles are less bright.) 4. Light your candle and snuggle it into the center of the sand. Precautions: Be sure candle is centered in the bag for even light and fire safety. Sand or other fine nonflammable filler is essential to avoid having the wind blow over your luminaria. Be sure the bag is open to its fullest. Keep your luminaria away flammable materials.

Hand Decorated Ornaments Hand Painted Glass Christmas Balls Assorted Colors
$13.00 per set of four
In November of 2008 after the election of Barak Obama, we did our first hand decorated Christmas ornaments as an entertaining way to occupy our time from the end of the wholesale season through the beginning of the next year. The Obama ornaments were a big hit and so we have done an annual ornament every year since then.

Dia de Muertos / Day of the Dead. “Dead of the Dead” is one of the oldest Mexican traditions since Aztec Times. By coincidence, the catholic Spanish conquerors had in their calendar something similar, All Souls Day, and both celebration merged. These figures are used to decorate altars, always with a sense of humor and respect at the same time.

A Little History and How All of This Happened In 1984 I visited San Miguel de Allende for the first time. Living in San Antonio, Texas, I decided it would be worthwhile learning a little Spanish so here I came on a lark for an “educational” vacation. I fell in love with Mexico and particularly the incredible talents of the local artisans. At the end of the first trip, I invested my life-savings - all $400 - in Mexican crafts and returned to San Antonio to sell them to Tienda Guadalupe. I came back to San Miguel with my $400 profit and bought $800 more merchandise … that’s how it started. The rest, as they say, is history. Perhaps it was not a brilliant “career move”, but I stayed and have never regretted becoming a part of the world of Mexican handicraft. It was only 23 years ago that I associated myself with Roberto Granados and his family. We began to produce the recycled tin designs for which I am known. Roberto and I still work together and, in fact, over 70% of my artisan relationships have endured for 15 years or more. Fair Trade. I have never joined one of the fair trade organizations because I always have felt I practiced fair trade before “fair trade” was in fashion. I guess I am being stubborn. By living in Mexico I have had the chance to get involved and give back with some wonderful projects. Barro Sin Plomo (Ceramics without Lead) was a fun project done by Aid to Artisans (ATA) was an early project I worked on in Michoacán as a contribution back to those people who had been so good to me. Hospice San Miguel. In 2006, I decided that Mexico needed to have Hospice the same as it existed in other parts of the world. My father had just died while receiving wonderful care from a hospice in Virginia. A year before one of my closest friends in San Miguel had died in a very unsatisfactory way in San Miguel. I was a primary caretaker in both deaths and I saw what a vast difference there can be in good end of life care and no end of life care. Death in Mexico, without pain and symptom control, can could be pretty grizzly. I took a four year sabbatical and founded the first fully functional hospice in Mexico. It was a wonderful experience. My end game was to integrate end-of-life care into the public medical system. Not only did I want to do this locally, but I wanted this to be on a bigger scale. Apart from starting a Hospice San Miguel, I brought the End of Life Nursing Education Program (ELNEC) and the End of Life Physician’s Education Program (EPEC) to the annual meeting of the National Institute of Cancer (INCAN) in Puebla in February of 2010. Over 200 nurses and doctors were trained and much of the curriculum was adopted and adapted by Dr. Silvia Allende of INCAN. In 2014 Hospice San Miguel was taken over by the General Hospital of San Miguel and the Project’s Director, Dr. Lourdes Tejeida became the director of training for the State of Guanajuato. This gives me great satisfaction. Founders: Lee, Milou and Joanie

Why I don’t answer the phone on Tuesdays
Working with the local Rotary Club, I have become involved with helping organize rural communities that want to proactively work to solve their problems. Since 2009 Rotary has helped fund the construction of 626 rain water harvesting cisterns that are permanently providing potable water to almost 5000 persons. In June of 2014 we were awarded a new grant from the Rotary Foundation in the amount of $1,000,000 pesos to build another 111 cisterns. This is what I do on my day off. So if I don’t answer the phone on Tuesdays, don’t be too mad at me.
Social Responsibility
Water Harvesting. The water situation in San Miguel is problematic. Many indigenous communities around San Miguel do not have access to any potable water whatsoever. The water levels in our aquifer are dropping precipitously from year to year. Additionally, we also have a major problem with excess fluoride in our water in some areas. The health damage caused by fluorosis is irreversible and leads to terrible life-long problems.
