We found this great vintage guadalupe spinner at a garage sale.

Amazing, isn't it?

Here are some rare chapel bells we found.... They come with the original bolts. We don't know anything about them other than they came from an estate sale in France. They're very old. Can you picture in morning fog, locals hearing, moving toward and beside these bells as they arrive for Mass.

These bells were used to signal the start of Mass.

You can find these and other wonderful vintage items on our Etsy sites, Vintagelourdes and Mariposafuerte

We visited Tina's mom up in Cambria for Thanksgiving.

Cinnabar is a great place in town that carries our art!

Here's a photo of my wife's altar for El Dia. We'll post more pictures once she lights it. She does altars throughout the year, but this time of year is her favorite.
