Breaking news from Los Cabos, Mexico! I recently saw a story from the Cabo Sun Times that begins: "As you stroll along the sun-drenched Cabo San Lucas marina, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of colorful trinkets.

For us Cinco de Mayo represents pride and respect for Latino culture, which of course includes the beautiful handmade Mexican art we are proud to share with you.
