The Market of Artisans sits in the shadow of
El Palacio de Cortés and a statue of the conquistador himself.
It occupies about a city block with aisles and aisles of handmade jewelry, earthenware, clothing and other crafts. I bought two Aztec calendars printed on some oddly textured paper-like product.
I desperately want one of these traditional Puebla dresses, but it's almost something I want to make for myself. There's a great pattern here, at
The Mexican Dress. I used to embroider when I was young, but I never did anything nearly this intricate. I may have to just buy one in
Puebla when I'm there this weekend.
This
vestidito was so adorable it almost make me want a child.
more to come...
