Something "picante" to warm you up...

One of my favorite people--ever--is Marie. She is anticipating a move to the southwest soon. And looking for inspiration. She shared a book title with me, "Mexicasa" by Melba Levick and Gina Hyams.
These colors are delicious. I want to put more of them in our house. So, I am sharing some of the photos from the book.

This type of ceramic is called "talavera." I like this (gigantic) picture of a talavera vase. It's from La Fuente they have loads of mexican-themed decor. (the vases in the picture above are talavera vases too.)
