World Neighbor Visits Our Neighbor to the South

I will be leaving on a buying trip to Mexico April 9th. I am looking forward to this trip outside of Mexico City. I will be going Northwest of Mexico City out into the countryside. I plan on bringing back some treasures including pottery, tile, copper works, straw crafts, woven garments, and ceramics. The one thing that I have learned is that even the most wonderful, unique paintings and prints are difficult to sell unless you have a gallery for folks to get up close and personal with the piece. Since I run a web-based business I haven’t had much luck with the paintings and prints. Therefore, I will focus on the substantial cultural crafts and ethnographic arts that have been very successful. As always I will work with the indigenous community and practice fair trade to ensure that we share the prosperity around the globe.
