Bobby put in our last kitchen light fixture.
Even better, he did this when I was still on vacation.

In early June, Bobby and I took a trip to Mexico with some friends. It was wonderful and here are some of the items/influences we brought back with us.
Everything in this photo (except the piano) is from Mexico.

This is a photo Bobby took in San Poncho (a super adorable town with a great beach.)
We bought this jug at a shop our friends took us to in Bucerias.
The shop also carried these Katrinas-skeletons in fancy clothes. They are usually standing up, but Bobby liked the sitting ones. I already wish I had bought more of them.
Katrinas have nothing to do with the Day of the Dead-it's more of a response of the poorer Mexicans to the richer, fancily dressed Europeans that started coming 150 years ago. 'You may look fancy now, but we'll all look the same when we're dead.'
These drawer pulls look like I should have bought them in Mexico, but I actually bought them in Fish Creek, WI.
I call this my Love Dove (even though I know it's more of a religious piece.) I found it at the same place where I bought the Katrinas and pitcher. Sadly, that shop will not still be there if we ever go back.
