preparing to go back!

Well, I have misplaced all my photos on iphoto--they are still in my laptop somewhere, but I am desperately trying to pull them out of wherever they are hiding :)


do you ever feel like that? !!



We are preparing to go back to Puerto in July. YAY! Here are some things we are gathering...
courtesy of Home Goods, Dollar Tree, and Target :)


and a few goodies from Hobby Lobby, on clearance...just wait til I spray them a matte black...


and these drawer pulls for half price (sorry about the blurriness)...


so, put all the accumulation together, and it looks like this! Whew-ee!

Wowzie, we have our work cut out for us--think it will all fit in two large suitcases?

Follow Up on Mercado 23

here is a review about Mercado 23 that I ran across...great information!

Cancun adventure Part Dos

After the flea market, we traveled a bit closer to the center of Cancun, to the Mercado 23 (near the ADO bus station).  I was searching for Talavera pottery, and that darn ol' plastic tub...PLUS, Tiff has a favorite breakfast place there, at the far end of the restaurant row...here is a pic of some entertainers there, during our pleasant breakfast there in February...I will get the name of it next time we go..."cause we ALWAYS go whenever we are in Cancun shopping...

I also found some great mugs at the pottery store...

Mercado 23 is a very, very good place for me...first, a candy and pinata store...

Willy Wonka has nothing on this place!

Whooo-hoooo! Nirvana!
and secondly...da-da-da-dah!!!!!...the... BEST...plastics... store... EVER!!!!!!  Oh, the wonder of it all--the colors, the sizes, the assortment...WOWEE!  Guess what I found that NO other store-big or small- has had? The previously elusive RECTANGULAR tub!! and I forgot to take a picture of it...:(  But I did take a pic of these awesome little flip-top containers perfect for my classroom back in Washington--picture, please...

Next visit I will take lots of pictures so you all can enjoy the wonder of it all....please check the next post for a little review on Mercado 23--adios for now!
