Living in NM, it was easy to come by and fun to shop for.<br /><br />Erin, we are actually both right. The celebration takes place now over the 1swt and 2nd, but if you ask most people, they know it as the 2nd mainly. LOL And yes, I have Santa Muertas too. I love her and that folk art. I am actually writing about La Catrina for Shah's story hop with the pearls, which I hope I am not too late to enter into.<br /><br />-NoraNora B.

It's a wonderful idea to have a time to remember and celebrate lost loved ones.<br /><br />I recently featured a post on Santa Muerte (Saint Death), another Mexican folk figure with roots in the PreColumbian past.Erin O'Riordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14829574740027964039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128842928560054085.post-55164983414124979532011-11-04T09:29:19.774-07:002011-11-04T09:29:19.774-07:00Thats an amazing collection!

I went to get a sugar skull mold to make some plaster skulls for art projects and we found a vintage piece and another mask we liked. Have them on layaway at the moment. Can't wait to get them paid off and home on the wall.Nora B.
