Mayas Jewelry and Shop
This week I stopped by a Latina Trunk Show that was hosted by the Mexican Town Welcome Center and Mercado. It was a lovely event.  Complete with beverages, appetizers and desserts.  (The coffee was excellent, and I’m a coffee snob!)  I met Monica Cervantes.  She runs a fabulous jewelry shop in the Mercado (see photo, left).  That’s Monica in the black blouse and white trousers, helping a customer. 

Also of note was the Felicidades Gift shop.  Where Sonia, the owner, carries these candles that she makes (see photos, below).  As the story goes, she had a dream one night about these candles, and then began making them the very next day.  I know, they look like food.  They’re candles though (and the scents are delectable).
