This site has fairly high quality items; flea markets and jewelry shops in Greece have all levels of quality and price. And some of their items are even made IN Greece! I will tell Henry.

If they have corazons in Greece, I'm definitely going to need to go there. If you click on the picture, it should go to a website that not only shows sugar skulls, but sells supplies to make them. For whatever reason, I'm not getting into the Dios de los Muertos "stuff." I do love the idea, and the marigolds, though. Am totally into OLG (our lady of Guadalupe) and corazons & sparkly things, though. Expect a post on Candalaria next wk! (And tell Henry to start commenting, darn it. Nobody rides for free) But wait, that would be a reason to sleep in!

Get one, link it to a special cell phone containing only politicians' and bankers' names in the contact list, and let it do its thing! The milagro is beautiful, and again so like the similar ex-votos used in Greece. But how come you haven't featured sugar skulls yet? The alarm clock from Hell has great potential.
