Planning a Fiesta!

photo: jbEbert

It is time for more color now that its summer. I remember on our last cruise in the Caribbean we stopped along the Mexican coast at Costa Maya. It was a vendor settlement just for the cruise ships, I'm sure, but the one highlight was the colorful Ballet Folklorico group that provided free entertainment. I'm sure they put on their show several times a day, but they truly seemed to enjoy it! Their dancing was full of joy, and energy and color, and it was delightful. I've pulled a collection of gemstones in fiesta colors, and an antique enameled button from England to create this festive new bracelet. I'll finish it tomorrow and post it in my Etsy shop before the weekend.
