July is our last month in the showroom on Zacateros 85. We will be moving to a larger location @ Zacateros 21. We will share a space with Calderoni Properties! The new space will be great! It doesn't have all the street noise of the current location and it has a fireplace. Please stay tuned for news of our opening party in August

Leah, Mat and Marc Visit San Miguel

What do you get when you send 3 gringos to San Miguel for 3 days? Before I answer that questions let me add a few more ingredients. Throw in lots of rain, a little sprig of missing luggage and 6 table spoons of brownies. Toss lightly with Chuck and Susan. Next let simmer for 2 hours in a live seminar. Brush on a few architects and designers the day after and wrap tightly in a radio show.
The result is a spicy yet sweet flavor that leaves an aftertaste in your mouth. A little chewy inside with a crisp outer layer.

The Master


Here's a picture of Luis and I waiting for our flight back to Mexico. This guy is the inivator. He's been hammering out copper since he was 5 years old. That's 45 years of experience. He has brought Mexican Copper work to a new level. He's business minded as well and runs a tight operation. Luis and I go back 7 years. I remember when he was sleeping on pallets above his dirt floor work area. It's amazing to see someone so talented get to really make it. Sitting in the airport I remembered when Antonina and I were driving to the shop once a month to pick and pack orders. Back then I did all the packing with little help. It would take us 2 to 3 days to get all the order together. While there it Margarita and Luis were always so kind lending us thier bedroom, feeding us breakfast, lunch and dinner. I'll never forget sitting around the large rectangle table in the kitchen for comida. It was a real honor to be let into their family.
Luis was so relaxed at the airport. Always with a smile. It reminded me why we got into this buisness in the first place. Tonina and I loved to find great product produced by true craftsman. So Much has changed. I'm rarely in the factory anymore and Luis hasn't hammered in a while. I guess that's progress. I can't remember the last time I even packed a sink. It's not bad in fact not having to load a trailer or make the midnight run to the border is a relief. I've had stitches in my nose when a crate fell on my face and ran my 1 ton van into a wall in the Saltillo canyon totaling the van. Some how I still managed to get the order up to the border. Change. It's been satisfing seeing Luis be able to come to Chicago and visit all his clients at the show. While at the airport he spoke of coming to San Miguel and coming to Los Cabos. He seemed excitied about traveling and experiencing new things. I'm excitied for him.
I can't wait to show him around Los Cabos and San Miguel!
